Description
84-86 Lovell Ave. Two photos of a two story white stucco house, Two women are standing outside the picket fence. A brick-edged stairway leads up from the yard to the main floor entry porch, which goes across the right 2/3 of the floor with square supporting pillars to the porch roof. On the left of the porch is a multi-paned window. The second story, somewhat smaller, has two multi-paned windows, plus a small attic window centered under the gable above. In photo 190a a set back expension can be seen, with a row of windows on the upper floor and a smaller single window of the main floor. The caption with the photo reads, "Jake Johnson was engineer on the Mt. Tamalpais Scenic Railway. The first engine, a 20 ton Shay-geared locomotive, came on loan from the Dollar Lumber Company from their Russian River logging operations. With it came Jake Johnson, Dollar's first and finest engineer. He was scheduled to return to the logging industry with his engine, but stayed on to run the first train and continued with the mountain railroad for 34 years, operating the very last train in 1930."
