The impetus was the interviewer's curiosity about the history of her own neighborhood. B.A.H.A.'s encouragement led to the completion of the project. We hope that others will also be encouraged to record the reminiscences of their knowledgeable neighbors and friends and thus preserve memories of the early history of Berkeley's buildings and neighborhoods that would otherwise be lost. The project started with the discovery in my house of a crumpled ozalid copy of the 1927 tract map of "Holabird Garber Park and other Subdivisions". It was hard to read since the black tissue paper reproduction was reversed, and all three feet of it had to be taped to a window. A photographic positive reduction was made, which is easily legible, and is reproduced as frontispiece to this volume. Wanting to find out more, I asked Ella Hagar if I could inter- view her. Since newly-married Gerald and Ella Hagar were the first to build in the new subdivision in 1928, she was the obvious person to turn to as memoirist. '.. Having gone so far, primarily to inform myself and my children about the history of the neighborhood where they grew up, I consulted with my Department Head in the Regional Oral History Office, Willa Baum. Mrs. Baum felt that the completion of a small-scale oral history memoir might be of value to B.A.H.A. and other local history groups with limited funds and active volunteers. Mrs. Hagar generously donated the money needed for the production of six copies of the memoir. Interviewing, editing, and final typing were volunteered. Tran- scribing, volume assembly, and other secretarial chores were done in R.O.H.O.'s office. Ella cheerfully agreed to fit yet another interview into her busy life. Several days before our date, an informal invitation-agenda letter and copy of the tract map were delivered. Both are included in this volume. Ella found these aids valuable in alerting her to the topics to be covered and in jogging her memory on proper names. Since Ella's memoirs have already been recorded and the volume is readily available to interested readers in The Bancroft Library, the standard biographical and demographic questions were not covered.* B.A.H.A.'s oral history questionnaire which includes such questions is included in this volume. *Ella Barrows Hagar, Continuing Memoirs: Family, Community, University, an interview by Suzanne Riess, Regional Oral History Office, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley, 1974, 272 pp. It was a pleasure to walk to work on Monday, April 28, 1978. Down 96 steps, and up "Court Street" as it appears on the map, to Ella's tiled living room in the Mediterranean house built for the Hagars nearly fifty years ago. As always, Ella was well prepared with notes, and well supplied with coffee for our break. Ella described howtheir young architect, William (Bill) Wurster persuaded the Hagars that they did not want an English Tudor house by building an enchanting little model. "He brought it up, and we said, 'We don't like it.' He said, 'Of course you don't like it. You don't put that kind of house on this kind of slope. We have to build a Mediterranean house that clings to the side.' That's how we came to build this. So, we said, 'All right, that's fine."' Mrs. Hagar also tells how some of the South Berkeley streets were named. The Garber tract consisted of forty acres, and Juliet Garber Stringham was given the job of naming the streets. "She named Stonewall Road because of her admiration for Stonewall Jackson; Belrose (Belle Rose) was part of her mother's name; Garber, of course, the family name and Tanglewood Road arose from her enthusiasm for Hawthorne's Tanglewood Tales." Ella also describes the excite- ment the day that the President's wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, came swirling by, in a red dress with sirens going on her car when she came to visit her youngest son, John, then a tenant at 261 Stonewall Road. The tapes were transcribed in the Regional Oral History Office. As I mentioned the project to other friends and neighbors, more questions and anecdotes surfaced. In the editing process, these were included in the form of additional questions to which Ella wrote the answers. Ella approved the edited transcript with minor revisions and signed the release form, also reproducedin this volume. The volume was final-typed and indexed. Our hope is that this small pilot project will be overtaken by a fleet of reminiscences recording the remembered history of our community and preserv- ing it in an inexpensive form readily available to all interested readers in both The Bancroft and the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association libraries.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tim Kelley Consulting (TKC) was engaged to conduct an Historical Resource Evaluation (HRE) for 2556 Telegraph Avenue, a steel frame brick faced commercial building constructed circa 1946, with a 1962 addition, in Berkeley’s LeConte neighborhood. TKC conducted a field survey, background research of public records, and a literature and map review to evaluate the subject property according to the significance criteria for the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) and the City of Berkeley’s Landmarks Preservation Ordinance. Subsequent sections of this report present the detailed results of TKC’s research. Based on that research, TKC concludes that 2556 Telegraph is not eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, nor does it appear eligible for listing as a City Landmark, Structure of Merit, or contributor to an identified historic district. Accordingly, 2556 Telegraph does not appear to be a historical resource for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act. REV 2.

    Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California EARL T. WATKINS: JAZZ DRUMMER AND UNION OFFICIAL Interviews conducted by Caroline Crawford in 2003 Copyright © 2011 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Earl Watkins, dated September 30, 2003. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.
