The Valley of Santa Clara
A chronicle of the great houses of historic Santa Clara/Silicon Valley, and the lives and dreams of the pioneers.
(see Kevin Starr's review on the back of the book jacket: "Virtually recapitulates the entire architectural history of California…Butler has given us superb stories to go with architecture...".)

The cover photos are a small sample of the treasures within:

  • The neo-classical Squire House on Palo Alto's University Avenue;
  • Paul Masson Winery's 14th-Century Monastery (Saratoga);
  • Mission Santa Clara c.1852 on The Alameda (Sta.Clara);
  • Sarah Winchester's Victorian 'Mystery House' (San Jose).
