Meet at the corner of Paru Street & San Antonio Avenue, across from Franklin School in Alameda, CA 94501

Free for AAPS members; $5 for non-members

This year the annual AAPS walk will cover a lot of ground in Alameda and will touch on historic preservation issues.  All manner of residential architecture will be showcased, and guides will discuss the “lagoonitis” caused by the Utah Construction Company massive bayfill project.  Paul Roberts and Judith Lynch will also talk about A. A. Cohen’s nearby railroad and describe the development of Franklin Park.  The walk will end at a 1880's home where tour guests will be invited in to see a very Victorian collection of several dozen specimens of taxidermy, including a duck-billed platypus.
