events, and persons associated with the site).
La Paloma Terrace (now La Paloma Avenue) was developed by T.S.
Montgomery in 1915. Mrs. George (Lilian) Fontaine purchased three 50'
X 150' lots at the northwest corner of Oak Place and La Paloma. The
home was designed by Andrew P. Hill Jr., architect with Hill and Higbie
of San Jose in 1923, and construction was completed in 1924. The home
was located in the middle of the three lots. Subsequently the
northerly lot was sold, but the home remains in the original location.
Mrs. Fontaine moved in with her daughters, Olivia de Havilland and Joan
Fontaine, in the fall of 1924. Joan and Olivia lived at this residence
until the mid- 1930's when they were contracted by the film industry.
Mrs. Fontaine kept the residence until 1959 when she sold it to Sheila
and Warren Heid. They have maintained this as their residence since
that date and their son and daughter were raised here. Warren Heid is
an architect with offices in Saratoga since 1958, and original charter
member of the Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission.

The exterior material is cement plaster with wood tudor trim, small
paned double hung sash, and panel doors. The roofing material is
slate -like asbestos shingles and appears to be original. The one story
gabled entry porch is partially glazed with brick in a herringbone
pattern below the glass. The landing and steps are brick at this

the exception of the addition of a bedroom at the second floor and a
sliding door to a deck off the master bedroom at the rear. The bedroom
addition was added in the traditional tudor style by the present owners
in the early 1960's. All exterior materials match the existing
structure. There is a brick chimney with the traditional tudor
corbeled cap.

La Paloma Terrace (now La Paloma Avenue) was developed by T.S.
Montgomery in 1915. Mrs. George (Lilian) Fontaine purchased three 50'
X 150' lots at the northwest corner of Oak Place and La Paloma. The
home was designed by Andrew P. Hill Jr., architect with Hill and Higbie
of San Jose in 1923, and construction was completed in 1924. The home
was located in the middle of the three lots. Subsequently the
northerly lot was sold, but the home remains in the original location.
Mrs. Fontaine moved in with her daughters, Olivia de Havilland and Joan
Fontaine, in the fall of 1924. Joan and Olivia lived at this residence
until the mid- 1930's when they were contracted by the film industry.
Mrs. Fontaine kept the residence until 1959 when she sold it to Sheila
and Warren Heid. They have maintained this as their residence since
that date and their son and daughter were raised here. Warren Heid is
an architect with offices in Saratoga since 1958, and original charter
member of the Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission.
