2006 Open Home Tours
The members of the Stroll Through History Committee extend their warmest welcome and sincere thanks for joining us on September 9, 2006, for the 18th anniversary of this community event.
This year, the committee has chosen to feature the Beamer Park area of Woodland, CA. Check back for more home tour information!
Cox-Dahnke Home
603 Hollister Road
One of two J.G. Motroni designs on the Stroll this year, this Mission Revival home features workmanship typical of Motroni's influence: clay tile roof, brick chimneys and fencing, arched entries leading from the foyer, plastered walls and "modern" (for 1938) built-ins, such as a laundry room with pull-down ironing board, a service porch with a milk delivery door and a telephone cubby with seat in the hallway. In the care of the Cox family for 35 years, Carol and George Dahnke purchased the home in 1974.

Kidder-Sabbadini Home
36 Palm Avenue
Built in 1941, this Colonial Revival is typical of the simplicity of homes built during the period between the First and Second World Wars. This trend likely was in reaction to the more ornate Victorians which preceded this era. 36 Palm Avenue is one of many Colonial Revivals (and other variations on the style) in the Beamer Park neighborhood. Originally built for Ralph and Helen Kidder by C.C. Hall, the home currently is owned by Steven and Nancy Sabbadini.

Zane-Guigere-Kergel-Hull-Wetzel Home
43 Palm Avenue
Although Craftsman influences are evident, eclectic is the word that best describes this 1914 fixture on the Beamer Park circle. A sprawling home surrounded by park-like grounds, it has been owned for more than 30 years by Bonnie Wetzel, after serving as residence to several historic Woodland families over the preceding decades. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the home's first appearance on the Stroll Through History - - welcome back!

Kilgore-Laugenour-Cruson-Cox Home
53 Palm Avenue
Under the tender loving care of one family for more than 65 years, this classic J.G. Motroni-built Tudor Revival prominently features a multi-gabled, shingled roof and a brick chimney topped with tile work. Following completion in 1928, the home was owned briefly by two owners before being purchased by Helen and Paul Cruson, parents of Paula Cox, who now resides in the home with her husband, John.

Baird-Graeser-Brownson Home
55 Pershing Avenue
One of Beamer Park's earliest homes, this Western Shingle style residence was built under the shade of a 200 year old Valley Oak in 1917. Uniquely surfaced with redwood shingles and lushly landscaped, the home also features many Craftsman elements. It is reminiscent of homes built in the same era in the Bay Area, and if fact the first owner hailed from that region. Bill and Joan Brownson now own the home; Joan is the daughter of the home's second owner, Oscar Graeser.

The Rhoades Home
116 East Keystone Avenue
This three bedroom one bath home was built in 1951 for Leon and Placidia Miguel and their four children.
The builder was Earl Klinkhammer and the architect was Ib Barre.
The large family room was built to accommodate many musical instruments, including a grand piano.
Chuck and Jana Rhoades purchased the home in 1987.

Laugenour-Geist-Spray-Kronenberger Home
714 West Keystone Avenue
A little bit of Brittan in Woodland, this English Cottage conjures quaint, romantic images of a simpler time.
The time was 1936 when architect Charles F. Dean and builder Del Fenton collaborated on this home for Ken and Alice Laugenour.
The high gable roof is the most striking and memorable feature of the home.
Jill Kronenberger currently enjoys owning this true Beamer Park gem.

Glenn Cole & Carol Souza-Cole Garden
512 Woodland Avenue
A lovely crepe myrtle and a vibrant kumquat tree frame the large, attractive fountain in the garden of Glenn Cole and Carol Souza-Cole, in Woodland's Beamer Park neighborhood. Situated on two-thirds of an acre, this garden and home site feature unique specimen plants and a "forest" of three old Coast Redwood trees. The fountain, as well as a spa, dining area and outdoor kitchen give way to the "working" area in the rear of the garden. This section includes citrus and other fruit trees, an English walnut tree, a seasonal vegetable garden, chicken pen and finally, a riparian habitat. Built in 1936, the Souza-Cole family has owned the residence and the garden for more than a decade.
