A little bit about the setting…
Arrowhead is located on the ancestral land of the Chochenyo-speaking Ohlone people, what is now known as Shepherd Canyon in Montclair. We count Redwood trees and a particularly chatty owl among our neighbors. Built in 1922, this Spanish-style home has been owned by women for its entire history. Betty Baxter, Jack London’s cousin, was the first owner. It also served as SF Jazz legend Anson Weeks’s Oakland crash pad.
More recently, it was “Grandma’s house” and the place of holidays, family gatherings, and gardening projects for more than 60 years. Today, my mother Helene, who grew up here, and I own the home and it’s our intention to share this special place with people seeking healing and connection.
