Florence Gray diary, 1899 March 26-1900 March 10.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/51301464

Child's diary, about 20 pages written in pencil, recording the details of Gray's daily life. Highlights in the diary include wearing her grandmother's bonnet to an "Old Time Social," attending Junior Endeavor meetings, playing with paper dolls, and celebrating friends' birthdays. A slip of paper written in a mature hand and tucked into the diary holds comments on two entries, including (after providing the missing text for one obscured diary entry), "My mother laughed so at this adult language for one of 10 1/2 years that I tried to erase it." (02-155).

Florence and her husband B.G. Gray commissioned the Rose Walk (designed by Bernard Maybeck), one of Berkeley's most celebrated pathways, in 1913. After the 1923 Berkeley fire, the Grays commissioned architect Henry Higby Gutterson to create an integrated community of houses on lots bordering the Rose Walk. This was completed in 1936. Both the walk and the community are Berkeley landmarks. From the description of Florence Gray papers concerning Berkeley architecture, circa 1944-1973. ...
