The story of how a storybook European village, complete with sloping stairways and pretty stone streets, landed in the middle of Berkeley starts with an inferno.
On Sept. 17, 1923, a wildfire started in the Berkeley hills. Gusty, dry winds pushed the flames down into the city. It roared by Cal s campus, through Northside and down all the way to Shattuck Avenue. By the time it was finally extinguished, almost 600 homes were gone. North Berkeley was little more than charred rubble.
From devastation came opportunity, particularly for one young man named Jack Thornburg. Then just 21, he began to plan out a new neighborhood filled with fairy-tale charm and secret corners.
