Commentary
"In the manner prescribed by the Hillside Club Bulletin, Maybeck designed Rose Walk as a public thoroughfare in a 1912 development of the property of W. W. Underhill. Rose Walk connects a portion of the hillside area with a street which is serviced with public transportation; private walks to residences blend with the public way 'in an immense garden with nothing to show that it is not all one owned by each.' "

The Creator's Words
"Sooner or later cities will express the highest spiritual life and power that they are capable of. Through the spirit of self-preservation and in mutual protection the individuals will group themselves and in their combined efforts they will do those things that safeguard their holdings and in doing so they will develop the best they know for the welfare of the city."
— Bernard Maybeck, 1920. from Kenneth H. Cardwell. Bernard Maybeck: Artisan, Architect, Artist. p189.
