LAURENCE V. PERRY, CONCORD’S MASTER CRAFTSMAN By John Carlston

There is a great deal of action underway with the historical society’s

upcoming relocation of Concord’s historic Masonic Temple building. This

is a major feat, one which has been a long time coming, yet at the same

time the final plans and preparations for the physical movement of the

building have come together with great rapidity. All of those on the Board

of Directors that have taken an active role in planning this undertaking—

purchasing the lot adjacent to the Galindo property, handling the machina-

tions of the City of Concord’s planning department, and all of the engineer-

ing and construction aspects of the project—deserve our collective thanks.

Once the Masonic Temple is moved, your historical society and all the resi-

dents of Concord will physically possess the beginnings of a first-rate mu-

seum complex of which it can be proud. Excellent examples of historic

buildings—a mid-19th Century residence in the Galindo Home, and an ear-

ly 20th Century Moorish/Spanish Style public building in the Masonic tem-

ple—will be open for all residents, students and visitors to see.

What of the Masonic Temple? As many of you know, the historical

society has been working very hard for a good many years to save it from

the wrecking ball. Many locals know that it was built in 1927 by a local

builder, L. V. Perry, for a cost of about $31,550. Aside from being used by

fraternal organizations such as the Masons, the 9,600 square foot Moorish

and Spanish Style structure was for decades the site of musical concerts and

dances. With its white stucco plaster walls and red tile false-front roof, the

Masonic Temple would probably blend in very neatly in Santa Barbara, but

in Concord its uniqueness is part of its charm. In the mid-1990s the Masonic Order sold the building and from that time on

it was seriously under-utilized and was ultimately slated for demolition. While I have taken time here to express gratitude

to those on our board who have spent so many hours and so much energy on this project, there is one individual who is no

longer with us that deserves equal credit although he may not have ever realized it at the time. That would be Laurence V.

Perry, the man who built the Masonic Temple with his own two hands and an eye for detail.

May 2013 THE CONCORD HISTORIAN

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

First, I want to express my appreciation

at having been elected President of your

historical society. It will be very difficult

to fill Lloyd Crenna’s shoes, as most of you

can imagine. But, he’s still on the Board

and along with the rest of the Board, is

active and providing the society with guid-

ance and support. As many of you may

have heard, the move of the Masonic Tem-

ple is happening in late May. We’re also

going to have our annual Summer Social in

late June at the Galindo Home and Gar-

dens. Be prepared to start seeing your

friends and family at our social events and

help us to raise the funds we need for our

projects.

I also want to express my gratitude to the City of Concord and its staff who

have been excited and helping us through the never-ending process of rules and

regulations. It has made it much easier on all of us and it feels good to be working

alongside them. The city is donating chairs, tables and the pop-up tents for the

Summer Social, as well as two staff members. We truly appreciate the help and

support.

We have four new Board members, and I’m happy to say that they bring energy

and many talents to the Society – Barry and Evelyn Cunningham, Marnie Carter

and Terry Kremin. We will miss, however, our dear Jackie Fontaine and Gloria

Mattson who stepped down from the Board. Jackie and Gloria are still very much

involved but they no longer have to attend regular board meetings! Pete Vasconi is

taking a sabbatical for a while, so Vivian Boyd is taking his place as 1st Vice Presi-

dent. Carole Kelsch has stepped up to be temporary Secretary after our beloved

Kay Massone stepped down from the Executive Board to fill a spot as direc-

tor. Lind Higgins remains as Treasurer, and Jim Trolan as 2nd Vice President. I

will no longer be writing my column “Scenes from the Society” because of the need

to write a regular President’s Message in order to communicate the activities and

accomplishments of your historical society. If any of you want to contribute to our

newsletter, “The Concord Historian,” please feel free to provide material to our editor, John Carlston.

As I start this journey, I look back on what we, under Lloyd’s knowledge and direction, have accomplished in the last

four years – it’s truly mind boggling. We went from having no property to owning three right now and creating the City of

Concord’s first Museum complex. I’m so proud of all of our collective achievements and our city, but also please realize

that we still need to keep charging onward and upward with this on-going project. Please, if you can help in any way, let us

know – we need you.

Your President, Carol Longshore

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE PROGRESS WE’RE MAKING ON RELOCATING THE MASONIC TEMPLE.

Continued from page 1

Anyone who has watched PBS’s “This Old House” series and its off-shoots over the past 25 years knows Norm Abram,

the master carpenter. But, I’m here to tell of Concord’s own master craftsman that lived and labored here for more than 30

years and built some of Concord’s finest, most well-built, attractive and functional residences and public buildings. Many

of them can still be seen around town today.

Laurence V. Perry was born on the island of San Jorge (or Sao

Jorge) in the Azores (Acores) in 1883. He was of Portuguese

and Flemish decent. According to many accounts he came to

Concord in the early 1900s. According to letters from L. V.

Perry’s daughter, Laurine Perry Boissonou, he probably came

to Concord around 1908, following two older half-brothers,

Joseph V. Perry and Frank V. Perry who were already work-

ing in construction in the Concord area. He also had a

younger brother, Duarte V. Perry. In various ways, all four

Perry brothers were involved in construction in early 20th

Century Concord at various times. Joseph V. Perry was a

builder, and is thought to have built the Eddy, Keller, and

Neustaedter homes. He lived in Concord for several years

before moving with his family to Watsonville and then on to

Modesto. Frank V. Perry was a rancher in the Ygnacio Valley

area and a painter by trade, as well as a piano tuner and a part-

ner in a music store in Oakland. Younger brother D. V. Perry was a carpenter that mostly specialized in hardwood flooring

and roofing. Laurence V. Perry had his brother D. V. Perry install the hardwood floors in the Masonic Temple.

Laurence V. Perry built a two-story wood-frame Classical Revival style home for himself in 1911 at 2320 Clayton Road.

The current site is along Clayton Road across from where Colfax Street intersects Clayton Road, and is the current site of a

multi-story office building. The Perry home was moved in 1981 to its current site at 1990 Concord Avenue (the corner of

Concord Avenue and Salvio Street). From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s it was the location of The Front Room restau-

rant, and is now used for commercial purposes. Also in 1911, Laurence V. Perry married Isabel Nunez who was from the

Morgan Territory area beyond the Town of Clayton.

Isabel Nunez’s parents and other family members

were also originally from the island of San Jorge in

the Azores, and settled in the Morgan Territory area

between Clayton and Livermore in the late 1800s.

Laurence and Isabel Perry’s daughter, Laurine, was

born in 1912. Of the Perry home, the main residence

was located on the upper floor, while the ground

floor flat was rented out. The ground floor was the

home of long-time Mt. Diablo High School principal,

Miss Bertha Romaine, and another teacher Miss Irma

Bromley. The two educators began renting the

ground floor of the Perry home sometime before

1920, and vacated sometime in the mid to late 1950s,

a few years after their retirements.

Among some of L. V. Perry’s best known projects were the Bibber home at 2108 Grant Street (the corner of Grant and

Pacheco Streets). It was built in 1912-1913 for the Deputy County Assessor, Charles Bibber and his family for a cost of

$3,733. Also about 1912 he built a large two-story home for Concord businessman Frank Foskett along Galindo Street at

Oak Street. Unfortunately it was demolished in the 1950s. The site is now occupied by the Bank of America office build-

ing complex. L. V. Perry was especially proud of the Foskett home, built with wide eaves, a wide covered porch and a sec-

ond floor balcony running across the entire front of the house. He used a sketch of the home on his business card.

In 1922, L. V. Perry built the Mt. Diablo Union High School Gymnasium along Grant Street. In 1923-1924 he built the

Concord Grammar School along Willow Pass Road which replaced the 1892 Victorian style structure. Then, in 1925-1926,

Perry renovated the original 1892 school building for conversion to a cafeteria and auditorium (both buildings have been

demolished). In about 1924, L. V. Perry remodeled and constructed an addition to the Maltby Mansion at 3033 Bonifacio

Street. In 1926, he built a spacious two-story brick and wood-faced Tudor style home at the corner of Concord Boulevard

and Parkside Drive for Miss Josephine Geiselhart, a science teacher at Mt. Diablo High School. The house still stands, but

in recent decades has been used for commercial purposes. In about 1930 Perry built the Russi home at the corner of Al-

mond Avenue and Galindo Street. This Spanish Style home with stucco plaster walls and red tile roof, is an expanded ver-

sion of a California Bungalow, a popular style in the 1920s and 1930s. According to Perry’s daughter, Laurine, the Russi

home was even featured in an edition of Sunset Magazine in the late 1930s or early 1940s.

As the Concord Historical Society moves forward with its relocation and restoration of the Masonic Temple, it is easy to

see what a testament that and other buildings in Concord are to the talent and craftsmanship of Laurence V. Perry. The Ma-

sonic Temple is still a sound structure that is worthy of being saved from demolition. The hand-crafted and detailed wood-

beamed ceilings within the building are a sight to behold and are still in pristine condition. Laurence V. Perry died in 1941

from cancer at the age of 58. Following his death, his daughter Laurine, her husband Cliff Boussinou, and son Earl moved

into the family home with Isabel Perry. Isabel Perry lived in the home until her death in 1976, and the Boussinou’s sold the

property a short while later. Laurine Perry Boissonou was a member and regular correspondent with the Concord Historical

Society until her death in 2003. Much of what is known of L. V. Perry, his brothers, and his career as a builder in Concord

is from her letters to the society and from more recent conversations with Laurine’s son Earl Boissonou. Earl, a retired

teacher, resides in Oregon, and, like his grandfather is artistically inclined. While Laurence V. Perry’s life and building

career was in my estimation too short, he worked hard as a builder and his legacy endures in Concord through the various

buildings he constructed. While it is unfortunate that some of his buildings have been torn down over the years, his pres-

ence in early 20th Century Concord can be felt today by seeing the remaining examples of his attention to structural and

architectural detail. The Concord Historical Society believes strongly that it now possesses a true gem in the Masonic Tem-

ple, and we have Laurence V. Perry to thank for his exceptional craftsmanship.

PRESS RELEASE—CONCORD MASONIC TEMPLE RELOCATION

The Conocrd Historical Society is to move the historic Masonic Temple, constructed in 1928, and restore it in order to estab-

lish a Concord History Museum and Resource Center.

The Concord Historical Society is soliciting sponsors for the move of the Masonic Temple building in Concord from its pre-

sent site to its to its proposed local history campus at Clayton Road and Amador Street. The Society’s master plan for the Galindo

Home and Gardens, including the move of the Masonic Temple, was on the Agenda of the city’s Planning Commission on April

17, 2013. the move of the building will commence shortly thereafter and is expected to be completed by May 25, 2013.

The building is the historica 1928 Masonic Temple, which also functioned for decades as the town’s dance floor. Teenagers

and young adults from the 1930s to 1970s and beyond danced there. It also was one of the first places that Dave Brubeck publicly

performed. The Masonic Temple is a Spanish style two-story, 8,000 square foot building, and weighs over 200 tons. The move

will be an exciting engineering accomplishment and will take over a week.

When moved and set on its new foundation, a complete restoration, expected to take more than 2 years, will be undertaken by

the Concord Historical Society. The projected cost of the move is $100,000, the new foundation $120,000, and the restoration

$400,000. The society is pleased to announce that it has already received a grant of $300,000 to purchase the property on which

the Masonic Temple is to be placed, adjacent to the Galindo Home and Gardens. When completed, the building will be opened as

the Concord History Museum and Resource Center for the benefit of the community, school children, media and scholars.

Sponsorship donations will be recognized by the society in all media news releases and interviews, on an exterior board dur-

ing the move and construction, in the society’s publication “The Concord Historian” and on the museum’s interior “Thank You”

board when the museum opens. Donations at all levels will be greatly appreciated. The Concord Historical Society is a Federal

and State non-profit 501(C)(3) corporation and all donations are tax deductible.

Please contact Lloyd Crenna at 415-453-4999 or via e-mail at “[email protected]” to further discuss this opportunity

to benefit the community. Donations can be mailed to the society at P.O. Box 404, Concord, CA 94522. A receipt acknowledg-

ing your gift will be provided. Thank you.

A PAST PRESIDENT’S VIEW By Lloyd Crenna

I really enjoyed my four years as President of the Concord Historical Society. The Board and its committees, both standing

and ad hoc, accomplished a great deal in that time. Four years ago the Society owned no real property. All we had was a dream

that someday we would have a museum building to display our collection of Concord’s historical memorabilia. The Society now

owns the Galindo Home and surrounding property, and has opened it to the public. We also own the Farm Bureau Hall, and are in

the final preparations to move the Masonic Temple to our new property at 1928 Clayton Road, to become the Concord History

Museum and Resource Center. We can make this history “campus” the biggest and the best in Northern California. The challenge

will be to make it financially secure while developing it and not lose the “Concord spirit” that we all hold dear.

It is very important to continue to build the Board with dedicated, competent, experienced and talented people. The skills that

new Board members bring, and the overall makeup of the Board, is critical to the Society moving forward. We will always need

people with legal, accounting, educational, construction, fundraising, business, public relations and other like skills and experi-

ence. If there aren’t any openings on the Board and you have this experience and want to be a part of the team, find a way to vol-

unteer for a committee or a special project.

Short term and long term fundraising is critical to keeping the doors open, the buildings maintained and continuing to build

community spirit and interest in the Society’s mission. Annual fund raisers, which raise the basic pay-the–bills-money and major

fund raising consisting of grants, and gifts made in estate plans by outright Gifts, Wills and Trusts must be pursued. The current

committee members are working hard to get a program started and they need all the support our membership can muster. Success

in fundraising is critical to the Society remaining an active and important organization. Please remember the Society in your Will

or Trust.

As the Society’s presence in the community grows, there will be many opportunities to make it a vibrant part of Concord.

This will result from a meshing of our local history purpose, fundraising and history activities that appeal to the general public. Of

course, our school outreach will be a big part of this since it will bring all the 3rd graders to the Museums and will necessarily

involve their parents. I see this building a big following for the Museum and for the Society over time.

We need to continue to consolidate our gains in all these areas while continuing to make the Society a strong organization

with activities in which the community wants to take part.


PRESS RELEASE

CONCORD PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVES GALINDO HOME AND GARDENS

INCLUDING THE RELOCATION OF THE MASONIC TEMPLE

On April 17, 2013 after a public hearing, the City of Concord

Planning Commission approved the Master Plan of the Concord His-

torical Society for the Galindo Home and Gardens to include moving

the Masonic Temple from its Galindo Street location ,across Clayton

Road to an undeveloped parcel next to the Galindo Home. The emp-

ty lot currently known as 1900 Clayton Road was recently purchased

by the Society for this purpose. The new address for the Masonic

Temple will be 1928 Clayton Road to commemorate the Masonic

Temple’s first use in 1928.

The Society’s purchase of 1900 Clayton Road was made

possible by the generous gift of $300,000. from the Betty Martin

Barnes Trust. Betty was a life member of the Society and the daugh-

ter of local building contractor, Floyd Martin.

The Society plans to rehabilitate and restore the Masonic Temple during the next two years, to become the Concord Histo-

ry Museum and Resource Center. A new parking area for the Museum will be constructed on the Galindo property also owned by

Society. The Resource Center and Museum will be operated in conjunction with the adjacent Galindo Home which was restored

and opened as a museum in 2012. The Galindo Home, Galindo Garden, Masonic Temple History Museum and Resource Center

and the related parking will comprise a “history campus” which will be owned and operated by the Concord Historical Society for

the benefit of all Concord’s citizens, schools, scholars and the media.

The Society plans to offer the Museum and Galindo Home Garden for rental for weddings, anniversary’s and other gather-

ings, and for their own fund raising activities. The Galindo Home is an 1856 Victorian Farmhouse which is listed on the National

Registry of Historic Places and contains the furniture and furnishings of the original Galindo family, one of the founding families

of Todos Santos, renamed Concord.

The Masonic Temple is a significant part of Concord’s history, having functioned as the town’s dance hall for generations of

teenagers and young adults, beginning in 1930 through the 1960’s. Its dance floor and stage was the location of one of the f irst

public performances of Concord’s favorite son, Dave Brubeck. The Society plans to celebrate that heritage with its annual Black

& White Ball, sock hops, performances by Brubeck Institute and local musicians, history lectures and other cultural presenta-

tions.

The move of the Masonic Temple is a significant engineering project. The building consists of two floors, each of which is

4,000 square feet and is estimated to weigh approximately 225 tons . It will be placed on steel beams and 15 ton jacks, moved by

40 ton hydraulic dollies equipped with brakes, and a tractor trailer will be used to transport the building the approximate 400 yards

it must travel. It will then be placed on a new foundation at its new home, 1928 Clayton Road. Its full restoration is expected to

take up to 2 years.
