Housing like this in Berkeley frequently started out as a vacation house for people in San Francisco well before the Bay Bridge was built. In this building’s case, it suffered a fire in the upstairs bedroom that spread into the attic. Fire hose water then cascaded down into the bottom level, requiring everything but the framing to be replaced and rebuilt. When we left, the building seemed ready for the next 100 years of its life in Berkeley.
