This USGS geologist and his wife, a former Stanford student services coordinator, surrounded themselves with history – from the Bay Area to beyond – in their Los Altos Hills retreat. Vintage Tiffany-style chandeliers and lamps will turn you on. Relics from the past such as a framed textile from Nasca, Peru (200 BC-800 AD), keep company with midcentury furniture. Noteworthy is the plethora of art and artifacts – plus a full kitchen, vintage tools and Shopsmith woodworking wizard. You’ll find original artwork by local and other artists (G. Robinson, John Bohrer, Lady Jill Mueller, Kit Colman and Kake, to name a few), handmade Papago baskets, vintage Navajo rug, Persian rugs, Arts & Crafts chairs, American Empire furniture, midcentury modern Ekornes chair w/footstool, stained glass windows and transoms, Guatemalan molas, colorful Polish dinnerware, 1920s Gibson soprano ukulele, 19th century tribal bowl, Elna sewing machine & notions and what could be called an “ephemera extravaganza” (geologic maps, century-old newspapers, photos – you name it). Well worth the drive.
