Gibbons Drive Tudor
The Fernside District of Alameda is part of the East End, near the foot of the High Street Bridge, and is coveted for its charming tree-lined streets, iconic Tudor and Spanish style architecture, and its surrounding high-performing schools. Fernside is also known for its “starter” Split Level homes of the 1920s-1940s, Queen Anne Victorians, Transitional Colonial Revivals, and Craftsman Bungalows. Fernside was the last major tract of land on the main island subdivided east of Grand Street, and formerly the 65-acre Cohen estate. It remained an orchard and horse pasture until the late 1920s when the heirs put it on the market after several years of careful planning. This development brought to an end the open, park-like atmosphere that once characterized all of Alameda. [Source: Alameda: A Geographical History].
