The thick mud-based walls insulated against temperature extremes, while the platform floor provided air circulation within. The building started as a Chinese herbal medicine store, serving the local Chinese community, and served as both a business and a residence over time, resulting in continuous occupation for over 100 years.

We were both born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we still live here, close to family.  We love spending time in the outdoors, often exploring the many hiking trails in the East Bay or the abundant and accessible history of the Sierra Nevada Gold Country.
