Built in 1889, this example of Queen Anne architecture is located in the Golden Gate Homestead tract, one of Berkeley’s first subdivisions developed by James Loring Barker, an early Berkeley founder.

From 1889 to 1893, it was the home of Reverend Everett Whittemore, founding pastor of Berkeley’s First Baptist Church.  From 1893 to 1906, it was the home of Charles W. Woodworth, a professor of entomology who helped develop the University’s College of Agriculture, Berkeley’s first public library, the Entomology Department at U.C. Davis, and an early proponent of Integrated Pest Management to reduce the use of pesticides. In 2003, it became the home of Kate Harrison, Berkeley City Council Member from March 2017 to February 2024.
