143 19th Street 1885 The Bentley House was built in 1885 and was operated as a boarding house until approximately 1890. This two story residence was later converted into a duplex and now includes an apartment with a separate entrance downstairs. The Pat Hathaway photograph displayed on the front porch for today's tour was taken in 1889. The Heritage Society estimates the front porch (which you will note is not present in the photo) was built sometime between 1910-]914. In 1952, Mrs. Chassie Tweed from Modesto, CA purchased the home on the Monterey Peninsula when she began employment at Community Hospital in Carmel. Her son, his wife, and their three children were frequent visitors to the home and spent many happy hours hours walking by the railroad tracks to Asilomar Beach. Mrs Tweed died in 1979 and left the home to the surviving family members. Much of the renovation of the home was completed by Mrs. Tweed's granddaughter Harriet Gonzales and her husband Dan who lived in the home from 1980-1985. Mrs. Tweed's youngest granddaughter, Martha Tweed, purchased the home from the rest oP the family in 1985 and continued on with the renovation. The kitchen and bath were completely remodeled in 1987 to make the home more comfortable. The wall separating a utility porch from the kitchen was taken out to enlarge the kitchen area and skylights were added in both rooms to take advantage of the natural light. Marble slabs were added to both desk and the pantry. The original clawfoot bathtub has been painted to match the wallpaper in the bath area and green Italian marble covers the vanity. Although small, this home is in the original Pacific Grove retreat area and should not be missed. The owner, Marty Tweed welcomes you to view her home. ~~L Laurel and 17th 1981 This simple square building, 24 feet on a side, was built in 1891 by H.C. Ketchum. It is unpainted, of board and batten construction and is one and a half stories high. Its original design has been respected although the Pacific Grove Heritage Society recently restored it and added several windows. The board was designed to house animals on the ground (dirt) Ploor. Hay and other provisions were brought in through the outside door to the loft. The usual cord and pulley mechanism is still in place. Ketchum sold the building in ]903 to E. Cooke Smith, a Pacific Grove banker. He kept his horse and buggy, used to transport potential customers, in the barn. Used for a short period as a cabinet shop, the barn then stood vacant for some time. It was used as a refuge by a variety of lost souls during the 1960-1970'x. Citizens, the Bing Crosby Foundation, and the L.J. and Mary C. Skaggs Foundation enabled the Heritage Society to convert the barn for office and exhibit use. It is leased from the City of Pacific Grove for $1.00 per year. The Heritage Society displays models, photographs and other items to visitors and residents. , OCR Text: 143 19th Street 1885 The Bentley House was built in 1885 and was operated as a boarding house until approximately 1890.
