Scope & Content |
Seven architectural drawings of a cottage at 15 Eldridge Avenue, which was demolished. Included with this donation was a paragraph describing the cottage: The tiny cottage at 15 Eldridge was built in 1904 for Mrs. Anha Bendix Martino. Originally designated as "13" Edlridge, Mrs. Martino insisted on the change of number for reasons of superstition. She traveled to Mill Valley by train, riding in the box car in which she brought her horse, all the way from South Dakota. She built a small stable by herself, which is still standing in the backyard. Along the street, the garage served as an artist's studio and is now a garage again. |
