Martin Farm, Petaluma, CA
Documentation of the Martin Farmstead involved creating measured drawings, photographic and written documentation for archival purposes, as a record of this 17-acre in-city farmstead. As these small farms are lost to development, it is important to document the buildings as a record of a way of life now that now exists in such environments only in the past.

M. Vonsen and the First Street Warehouses, Petaluma, CA

These buildings were an important part of this history that deserves to be remembered, and a dramatic presence on the waterfront.
