Have you seen this house?



I first saw this photo mis-identified as the Hihn Mansion in Surf, Sand & Streetcars by Charles McCaleb. I found it again in the SCPL Local History Photograph Collection (0151), identified as the R. Billings House in Pasatiempo. I'm pretty sure there have never been any Queen Anne's in Pasatiempo, but so far I haven't found any other evidence. Any ideas?

Something Completely Different

I took a break from Santa Cruz history to work on a Wikipedia article about the historical novel Stone's Fall, by Iain Pears. If you're interested, you can find it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone%27s_Fall
