We are the long-term, rent-controlled tenants at 1921 Walnut St. in Berkeley. Since April 2020, UC Berkeley has pursued plans to evict us and demolish our homes.
We do not oppose UC Berkeley building more student housing. What we oppose is the UC administration’s hasty decision to purchase 1921 Walnut St. at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, ignore the Berkeley community’s concerns and pursue shadowy plans to replace our long-standing community with luxury apartments and market-rate commercial spaces.
In January 2020, UC Berkeley planned to build up to 810 student beds next door to 1921 Walnut St. At the time, it was known as the Gateway Student Housing Project. Then, suddenly, in the months prior to April 2020, UC Berkeley altered the project now known as Anchor House, among many other names, including Housing Project #1 and Helen Diller Anchor House to include the purchase of 1921 Walnut St. and thus essentially evict the building’s tenants, all for the purpos

Beginning in 1905, when he graduated from the School of Architecture at the University of California Berkeley to his death in 1954, Gutterson s 50-year career most closely relates to the Beaux-Arts, Bay Area Arts and Crafts, and Academic Eclecticism periods. He attended the Ecole des Beaux Arts but was also influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and he became one of the acknowledged practitioners of the early Bay Area Style.

Kaitlan Tseng/File
UC Berkeley s plan to demolish 1921 Walnut St. in favor of student housing is opposed by the Berkeley City Council, the ASUC, the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board, the Berkeley Tenants Union and the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association.

Current tenants were informed of the decision Tuesday in a letter from campus, which offered “relocation benefits.” These benefits included 42 months of rental assistance, help in finding comparable housing and payment for moving expenses.
