Adjacent to Palo Alto Yacht Harbor and Duck Pond |
| Inventory photo | Location |
The following is from the Historic Buildings Inventory as revised in 1985:
This modest one–story Harbormaster's house with tiled roof and verandah across the front was built of adobe made from bay mud.
This building is a very quiet version of the Spanish colonial revival image, but is interesting for its construction method. It was constructed as part of a WPA project for developing the yacht harbor.
It is a California Point of Historic Interest and is located adjacent to the duck pond.
This house was built in 1937 and is a Category 2 on the Historic Buildings Inventory. The builder was the City of Palo Alto.
