The Experience, Alameda: Alameda Museum

The Experience:

Return to yesterday at Meyers House & Gardens!

Have you ever been to the charming and period furnished Meyers House? It was erected in 1897, an example of the Colonial Revival style, and it’s Alameda’s only historic home open for tours. Come visit on Saturday, May 25 for tours beginning at 1pm. Last admission to begin touring is 3pm.

So, what can $5 buy these days? Your $5 admission fee includes a tour of the house, an architectural exhibit, a look at the studio where architects Henry Meyers and his daughter, Mildred, worked and you can a also have a fun step into the past.

You can stroll through the gardens, often helped out by volunteers and visit the carriage house gallery dedicated to the works of early Alameda artist Edwin Siegfried, (1889-1955), noted for his paintings of the salt marshes that once lined Alameda.

Meyers House opens May 25th at 1pm and is located at 2021 Alameda Avenue. Docents are on hand to point out items of particular interest and answer questions.

About the Meyers House & Gardens

The House is a City of Alameda Landmark, designated Historical Monument Number 26, and managed by the Alameda Museum. Located on a tree-lined residential street in the bayside town of Alameda, the grounds of the Meyers House offer a beautiful and unique period venue to visit. The Meyers House is open each month on the fourth Saturday from 1-4pm

The three Meyers sisters originally bequeathed the house and grounds to the City of Alameda for use as a house museum and a passive park. On May 1, 2013, the City of Alameda transferred operations and ownership to Alameda Museum.

Alameda Trail Guide Featured Art – Marie Massey

Trail Guide Cover Art – Marie Massey

Marie Massey’s painting was featured on the Alameda May 2021 Trail Guide cover.

Cover art: The Red Umbrella 12”x12”, oil on hardboard. Private collection.

“As an avid plein air painter for 23 years, I find water fascinating and fun to paint. I love the transparency, the reflective quality, and the movement of water. Alameda is a town rich with inspiration for the plein air painter and I was inspired by this lagoon-side home. It was great fun to paint with its distinctive architecture, bright garden with a stately King Palm, and its brilliant red umbrella reflecting in the waters of the Grand Street Lagoon.” –Marie Massey, winner of the Frank Bette Center for the Arts 2021 PAPO Award
