An Enterprising Family and Their New Home in the Montclair District. – Oakland Tribune
Mr. and Mrs. John W Martinsen’s like many others in the area took on the task of building their own home.
Mrs. Martinsen would serve a hot lunch for them from a cabin they had built in the back of the lot.
The home is located on the corner of Moraga Avenue and Estates Drive.
They lived there until sometime in the mid-1940s.
She dresses in a regulation feminine hiking costume, and is able and effective assistant to her husband.
