Kenney cottage stucco removal3 September 2004 A year ago, BAHA took charge of the historic Kenney cottage, a City of Berkeley Landmark, Structure of Merit that had been located behind the former Kelly-Moore Paint Company building at 1725 Universty Avenue. That building was demolished to make way for affordable housing, and BAHA undertook to find a new home for the cottage. On Sunday, 24 August 2003, the cottage was moved (see photos) to a temporary site on a city lot at 1275 Universty Avenue. BAHA is working diligently to find a permanent site and funding for restoration. On Thursday, 2 September 2004, a group of BAHA board members began the long restoration process. Built of redwood, the Victorian cottage had been stuccoed over. We removed most of the stucco from the fa�ade and will organize a larger work party to take the rest off and paint the wood. Volunteers are solicited. Call BAHA at (510) 841-2242 or send us an e-mail. BAHA board member Richard Wesell attacks the stucco. BAHA board member Richard Ehrenberger joins the work party.
If you would like to get involved, call BAHA at (510) 841-2242 or send us an e-mail.
