The Changing Face of Palo Alto—Four homes on Waverley Street near Waverley Oaks have recently been demolished to make room for ONE new house. Waverley Oaks, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was designed and built by Pedro deLemos as his home while he was on the Stanford University faculty. More houses are threatened. These aerial photos give a bird's-eye view of the construction activity in August 2008.
