The home is situated on a three-parcel lot, that includes the original fencing and pergola, three-car garage, carriage house, green house, and an architectural studio built in 1935. The Meyers House has received numerous additions, designed by Mildred Meyers, a practicing architect. Living Room The living room is furnished with many objects that originally belonged to the Meyers family including the Steinway & Sons piano, oriental carpet, four reception chairs and kidney shaped couch. What is now the living room was originally two separate rooms, a parlor and a sitting room. The wall separating the two rooms was removed in 1915 when the curly redwood fireplace, wainscoting, and triple cornice were added. The hardwood floors with feature strips were also laid during this period. Dining Room An oak table, four chairs, lamp table, and tea cart were part of the Meyers family furnishings. The molding, wainscot, and built-in side board in quarter-sawn oak are also original. The stained glass window depicting a Monterey, California scene was added in 1909. Kitchen The kitchen contains a 1930s Wedgewood stove, a dropleaf table, four chairs and a high chair that originally belonged to the Meyers’ family. / Master Bedroom The three piece Victorian bedroom set, plus additional pictures and bric-a-brac, are original to the Meyers house. Most of the furnishings and objects found in the home have been graciously donated by the public or are from the Alameda Museum Collection. Some rooms, including the dining room and master bedroomhave been painted to replicate the original colors. The three Meyers sisters bequeathed the house and grounds to the City of Alameda for use as a house museum and a passive park.
