CHANDLER HOUSE - 1891 118 16th Street
owned by John & Lila Staples
Built by the Pacific Improvement Company in 1890 and sold to F.B. Chandler
in March of 1891 for $687, this four bedroom house stands on a lot-ahd-a-half
in the heart of what used to be the old Methodist Retreat.
The house is an example of one of the first double-wall construcbtion
year-round family homes built in the Retreat. Its architecture, with the bayed front,
echoes Queen Anne design elements. Standing next to it is an E identical
house, modified over the years to slightly change its appearance.
The Staples family is the fourth owner of the house, having bought it
three years ago. In its ninety year existence, very little has been done to
modernize or alter the original structure. The house has one bathroom, which
is downstairs off the kitchen; part of the electrical system is the original
wiring, installed in 1890; and the sparsity of closets recalls the days
of wardrobes and chests. The construction of the house is typical late
ninet eenth century "balloon framing" (very earthquake resistant) and the
xmmix building material is almost entirely redwood.

Newspapers produce and deliver news and information which they feel is important -- most often
from public information such as arrest reports, traffic infractions, accidents, indictments,
lawsuits, jury verdicts, property records, legal notices, and many other sources of information
which is freely available to anyone at any time. Newspaper publishers do not have access to any
information which is not also available to the public at large. All information published in a
newspaper is "public information."

of public matters which, in addition to information found in the public registers, may include
statements you make to a reporter or official, your photograph, background and other information
provided by you or others, rebuttals, opinions, and other information such as court-ordered
legal notices, and historical and statistical data.
