#AHEADJournal Our September issue of "California: A Journal" goes north of San Francisco, through the woods of Marin, up the southern side of Mount Tam, to find what remains of Druid Heights. This is the name of the bohemian community that settled there in 1954, led by poet Elsa Gidlow. The buildings that formed Druid Heights were designed by Roger Somers, a carpenter-turned-architect who with his white beard and maharishi clothing looked somewhat like a druid himself. A Somers house is wooden and seemingly inspired by Indonesian batak houses, Japanese stone gardens, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian fancies, and The Hobbit. Read the full story in our recent issue of "California: A Journal". Link in bio . . . . . #druidheights #druidheightscommunity #rogersomers #elsagidlow #alanwatts
