In the early 1960s, Dick lived in a house at 2509 Haste Street, Berkeley, opposite what would later become famous (or infamous, depending one's political slant) as The People's Park. The house had high ceilings, a marble fireplace mantle, massive wooden door frames, cut glass-door knobs, doors with beveled-edged glass, and so on. Dick had furnished it with antiques and hung his own artwokrs on the walls. He was, in effect, living in a private museum; it was featured in a magazine and won an award for interior design.
The dark and grainy photographs below, taken in Oct. of 1961 and recovered from Dick's estate upon his death, hardly do it justice.
