Even though the afternoon was warm, it was pleasant walking though this neighborhood, with its mature broad-leafed trees. The shade provided a good backdrop to these houses. When we came to the Hubbard-Upton House, it seems to fit right in to this Alkali Flats neighborhood.
From Waymarking:
The Gothic revival house was built by Dr. Victor J. Fourgeaud. The house is one of the last “castellated” Gothic revival examples in California. The building is different because it gets narrower as it moves from front to back. This construction was designed to utilize the “Delta” breezes of the Sacramento valley to cool the interior of the house by facilitating cross-ventilation.
