Dennis EvanoskyI never met a house that had
written a book about itself until Alain Pinel Realtor Johanna Hall introduced me to the Craftsman-style cottage at 2516 Encinal Ave.
The Alameda Land Company built the house (and the Colonial Revival cottage next door at 2512) in 1906. Robert E. Mott founded the company in 1892. His interests also included the Bay Shore Lumber Company at Adams Wharf on the Oakland Estuary at the foot of Madison Street in Oakland. Mott’s company played the role of both architect and builder in Alameda. According to Alameda Museum curator George Gunn the Alameda Land Company designed 12 and built 61 homes here.
Mott sold 2516 Encinal Ave. to Alexander M. Wright, a San Francisco printer. Wright lived in the cottage with his wife, May, and daughters Grace, Gladys and Dorothy. The family moved from San Francisco, where they had been liv-ing on McAllister Street, not far from Alamo Square and just 10 blocks from the devastation that the 1906 earthquake and fire had wreaked.
Kieran and Sara Hughes pur-chased the home in 1998. They moved in June. The home had not aged well. “I was felling old and ugly,” 2516 informs us in its autobiography, “cheapened by my cloak of aging cement and asbestos shingles and burdened by three layers of roofing.”
When Kieran arrived to inspect the home with his Realtor, Bayside
Real Estate Realtor Mark Wyman, 2516 tells us that the men were appalled.
“The previous owners had fixed me up to be a rental prop-erty, dividing me in half, putting up walls where they didn’t belong — the final insult to years of injury, neglect and cheap fixes, 2516 said. “Kieran saw beyond the surface. He saw my good bone structure of thick redwood timbers.”
The family got to work. Everyone pitched in: Kieran, Sara and daugh-ters. Lizzy was seven at the time and Cynthia, just five. (Cynthia’s swim team later pitched in.) Among the tasks that they performed and they later shared with Realtor Denise Brady included stripping paint from the fireplace, replacing Klinker bricks, woodwork and doors, refin-ishing floors and walls, repairing ceilings, replacing plumbing and upgrading the electrical system.
“We touched every bit of this house,” Sarah told Brady. “Throughout the process neigh-bors cheered us them on.”
In 2007, Brady nominated 2516 Encinal Ave. for an Alameda Architectural Preservation Society award and 2516 proudly displays that award in its book. “What a fit-ting ending to an amazing journey,” 2516 writes as the book almost ends. Because there is just one more thing.
“Kieran redid the front hall to go with the glorious beauty of my dining room and living room. More Bradbury and Bradbury wallpa-per!” 2516 exclaims.
