We are l ocated in the historic Heritage District at the gate to Old Town Vallejo. On the National Historic Registry, this landmark home was built around 1907 for a Mr. Halliday, a prominent resident and onetime county clerk. The architect, William A. Jones, a one time associate with Julia Morgan, based the plans for his own home after this charming two-story bungalow. "An L-shaped, two-story brown shingle, features a broad porch held up by four squat and surprisingly featureless columns. The interior of the home is lathe-and-plaster with quarter sawn oak wainscoating and Craftsman styled cabinetry throughout. The arched windows provide an unusual touch" Irvin says.

"The most Jonesy Jones house, because of its shingles, informal plan, rustic ambience with a touch of formality, and idiosyncratic elements." But she also loves it for the sheer sensuality of its material, natural redwood inside and out, quarter sawn oak wainscoating filling the walls from floor to ceiling.

The downstairs plan is open, with an immense living room and large entryway. Glass-fronted Craftsman-style cabinetry is everywhere. The living room is dominated by a fireplace and an immense set of windows looking to the north.

The home sports views of Mare Island Strait, and an expansive garden surronds this two-story bungalow shrouded by trees .



William A. Jones (1859-1939)
Style: Jones' best-known houses can be called First Bay Tradition for the way they idiosyncratically play with historic styles.

Active: Jones designed homes, offices, churches and other buildings in Vallejo and nearby areas from the late 1890s to the early 1930s.
Known for: Brown-shingle homes with squat columns; homes that successfully combine disparate elements.

Other practitioners: Better-known creators in the First Bay Tradition include Bernard Maybeck, Willis Polk, Julia Morgan and Ernest Coxhead.
