Professorville, Palo Alto Walk
As part of our new COVID-19 protocols, walkers must sign up on our NEW myHPREC website in advance and supply their emergency contact information electronically. This is necessary to avoid close contact on the day of the walk and to make sure the maximum of number of walkers for each session is 30 (including the walk leader).
Meet at Gamble Gardens 1431 Waverley St., Palo Alto, CA 94301. From Embarcadero Road, go south on Waverley Street. Go into the driveway that is 60 yards from the corner on your left and park in the parking area there. If you park on the parking area on Churchill Avenue, come near the corner of Waverley and Embarcadero.
Professorville is a 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 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.
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.
