A photo essay from Ana Novas, resident of 501 East Iliff Street. Built in 1876, the home is the second-oldest home south of Alameda and one of the 15 oldest structures in the entire city. It was the home of famed city planner and landscape architect, Saco Rienk DeBoer. The trees and landscape are no accident: DeBoer was the most knowledgable arborist in the region and helped to plant all of the parks and parkways. This was his home, a forested enclave amidst the surrounding city. Enjoy.
