Professorville, Palo Alto Walk
Meet at Gamble Gardens, 1431 Waverley St, Palo Alto, CA 94301. From Embarcadero Road, go south on Waverly Street. Turn into the driveway that is 60 yards from the corner and park in the parking area there. If this parking area is full, go around the block to Churchill Avenue. The other parking area is across from 440 Churchill. If you park in the parking area on Churchill Avenue, meet the group near the corner of Waverly and Embarcadero. The hike will start from there.
Professorville is an Historic District where, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Stanford professors built houses. The buildings most representative of Professorville are brown-shingled houses with gambrel roofs, whose stylistic influences range from Colonial Revival to American Craftsman. The houses’ original lots have been sold off and many smaller, newer houses now surround them.
Our hike will start and end at Gamble Gardens. The house there was built in 1901 and is the second house constructed in Palo Alto south of Embarcadero Road. The grounds around the house have lovely gardens that are open to the public. You will want to plan some time before or after the hike to enjoy them. The gardens currently have lots of beautiful flowers. The grounds also house the restrooms.
Remember to plan some time before and/or after to walk around the grounds of Gamble Gardens. It is also the location of the bathrooms.
