My husband remembers that one...late night, just as you said.<br /><br />Speaking of persistent, we are looking forward to what we can discover as we drive through the old neighborhoods tomorrow. However, I'm sure this will involve more than one visit before I get my bearings about which buildings are still in existence.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-64077613094096539782013-03-01T21:30:08.396-08:002013-03-01T21:30:08.396-08:00If what I saw on Google's Street View is any i...If what I saw on Google's Street View is any indication, I may actually have a hard time determining <i>which</i> of those houses might have been the one Leon built!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-25656117163301251102013-03-01T21:28:46.269-08:002013-03-01T21:28:46.269-08:00Au contraire, Smadar, it was an absolutely gorgeou...<i>Au contraire</i>, Smadar, it was an absolutely <i>gorgeous</i> day here in San Jose today! Tomorrow, it may just be warm enough to need an air conditioned respite...in which case, I shall relish a trip to the Redwood City library to check out the Schellens Collection and look up some further information on the Samuel Bean family...and, of course, his son Leon!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-8630621872136455022013-03-01T12:02:34.293-08:002013-03-01T12:02:34.293-08:00What a photo!

You are so persistent in your searching that I'm sure you will find Leon Bean's house.<br /><br />What is that late-night movie that I once saw about the great San Francisco earthquake? With Nelson Eddy and Jeannette MacDonald? It was lovely, lots of singing.Mariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-51001803149199500852013-02-28T17:06:10.429-08:002013-02-28T17:06:10.429-08:00Check out the third one..it might stick out like a...Check out the third one..it might stick out like a sore thumb if it is still there.

It sounds like a trip to the Clerk's office in Palo Alto might be wroth the trip. Who knows, maybe it will be rainy and foggy and you won't really need to enjoy the bay!
