In addition to the two-story main house, there is a beautifully-designed “casita” and a separate two-story garage with “mother-in-law” apartment upstairs. The home has undergone many additions and reconfigurations throughout its 91 years but it remains a stunning home in the neighborhood. This home is a Spanish Colonial Revival-style residence likely built by W. E. Barnard. A clue inside a wall of the home and an account of a field of violets once occupying the land give rise to the home’s name, Las Violetas. The current owners, Joe Gryzmski and Alexandra Lutz, purchased the home in early 2014. Visitors enter the home via a charming and private porte cochère that the family uses to relax and take advantage of cool summer breezes. This Spanish-style home is full of arched doorways, and the living room has a distinctive barrel ceiling. The interior décor is a clean, modern style that allows the wonderful bones of the home to show through. continued on page 2 HRPS Harvest of Home Tour continued from page 1 937 Jones Street — 1902 This “grand old lady” of a house occupies two lots on the corner of residential Jones Street and Keystone Avenue. When it was built, Keystone was the westernmost border of Reno and the historic Powning’s Addition. The house is a three-story simplified Free Classic Queen Anne style of solid red brick, with a one-story wrap-around porch. Thanks to the loving care of its owner, Joan Arrizabalaga, who purchased the home in 1975, it is remarkably original. Entering this home is akin to passing through a time warp to an earlier day. Everywhere you will see Joan’s fabulous art. Books and mementos abound—the home is a veritable museum of Joan’s life. One bedroom has an amazing mural, extending from the ceiling down the sides of the room, with pieces of the underlying wallpaper incorporated in the design. One bath has an iron bathtub that was once a horse trough in Virginia City. You need to reserve extra time in your day to spend here. 145 Mark Twain Avenue — 1928 This lovely and distinctive home in Newlands Manor was built on a stretch of Mark Twain that runs between Joaquin Miller and Manor Drive and features homes set back atop sloping lawns on the west side of the street. The home style is Period Revival with a lovely arched front window and two small balconies gracing the front of the home. The Maestretti family purchased the home in 1929; Maestretti became a district judge and served until his death in 1961. The home was purchased by John Farrow in 2011— it is elegant and beautifully furnished. John, an amazingly skilled craftsman, built the intricately carved front door and nearly all the furniture in the home. You will be struck first by the living room’s stunning wall finish—it is said actual gold leaf is in the paint. John remodeled the kitchen and its matte marble countertops and old-style cupboards and farmhouse sink echo the era of the home. You are guaranteed to love this home! 611 Forest Street — c. 1939 Our Adaptive Reuse home this year is a model for how one can repurpose a dwelling without disturbing its original charm and style. The two-story property sits on lovely Forest Street, quiet and tree-lined. 611 Forest is a brick Period Revival with a steeply-pitched side-gabled roof with multiple projecting front gables. The brick is flawless and beautifully multi-toned. Current owner Natalie Reed purchased the home in 2013 to be her law office. The large, attractively-furnished living room has interesting decorator items and paintings with a subtle jungle theme. The reception area is outfitted with a lovely antique-inspired desk. The full-sized kitchen is a cheerful yellow with a small dining nook surrounded by windows and lovely watercolors of flowers and birds painted by Natalie’s mother. The wood floors and the bath are original to 1939. Upstairs are three offices, with antique replica furniture designed to suit the era of the home. The friendly, attractive setting is sure to calm the most anxious client. 2 HRPS historicreno.org FootPrints Fall 2019 vol. 22 no. 4 1895 West Plumb Lane — 1934 A lovely vernacular stone cottage sits on the northeast corner of a main intersection, West Plumb Lane and Hunter Lake Drive—in early days a part of Plumb Ranch. Edmund and Elizabeth Plumb arrived in Reno in the 1880s from England and acquired a large amount of acreage south of the budding town of Reno. Relatives soon followed to help work the farm. Nephew Harry Dewey Plumb married in 1925 and was joined on the Plumb Ranch by his new wife, Florence. His wood farmhouse burned at some point and was rebuilt using local stone, a home which the family occupied until 1950. In 2017, interior designer Sandra Kelly purchased the house. She had an affection for stone houses, as she had restored one in Southern California, creating an admired showplace. She loved the solid charm of this one and saw its possibilities. The home’s possibilities have turned into amazing realities—a rustic and yet warm and inviting living space. 3310 Sunnyvale Avenue — 1963 Many might wonder why we include a 1960s tract home in our tour this year but this one is truly special. Owner Charlotte Voitoff purchased the ranch style home in 1968 and it exhibits her artistic sense and creativity, and love of gardening. Perched on a ridge that descends to the Steamboat Ditch, the city view from the rear of the home is stunning. The kitchen has a large greenhouse window that brings the outside in. The basement includes an art studio, bedroom and bath. Entering the home, you are immediately aware that an artist and collector lives here. Charlotte’s passion is art of all types. To the rear of the home is a large deck, overlooking an incredible garden. Flowers and plants of all varieties thrive here along walking paths. Along the path is a real gem—a one-of-a-kind shed constructed entirely of vintage doors. We are certain this home will delight you with its warmth and eclectic charm.

  • To Access the David Duniway Papers Finding Aide
    Container List 1999.013 ~ Records ~ Duniway, David C. 07/19/2017 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects Box 01 1.01 1868-1980 Adolph-Gill Bldgs The materials in this folder relate to the buildings owned and occupied by J.K. Gill & Co. and by Sam Adolph. These two buildings are in the heart of the original business district of Salem. The Gill Building (1868) is west of the Adolph Block (1880), and they share a staircase. The Gill building was later referred to as the Paulus Building, as it was acquired by Christopher Paulus in 1885; both Robert and Fred Paulus were born upstairs in the building. The Adolph Building was erected by Sam Adolph following a fire that destroyed the wooden buildings on the site; the architect was J.S. Coulter. References to articles in the Daily American Unionist from April 23, 1868 through September 8, 1868 describe the four new brick buildings under construction on State and Commercial Streets. Thes buildings are the intended new homes for the businesses of J.K. Gill & Co., Charley Stewart, Durbin & Co., and Governor Wood's new dwelling. Progress is periodically described. Finally, the first ten days of September, 1868, the moves appear complete and advertisements indicate the items they will carry. Another article in the September 8, 1868 issue indicates that Story and Thompson are moving a house lately occupied by J.K. Gill and Co. to the eastern edge of the lot so that when it is time to construct additional brick buildings, there will be space.
