The sellers are motivated and have priced the home accordingly. The house itself is in really good shape. The home has a tile roof and a slab foundation. The interior needs some cosmetic help. The home is located in Tennis village which is very nice area of Tracy in my opinion, the area has wide streets, is pretty quiet and friendly(I grew up down the street a few houses and my folks still live there). This home is also right around the corner from a middle school, an elementary school and a huge park. Don't forget to check out the CMA report below if you are interested in learning more about the pricing of this home. In my CMA there are about 18 homes that are active, pending, or sold recently that are similar to this home.

Here are a few pictures I took the other day of the Brichetto tomb in Tracy. This tomb was built in 1912 for the Brichetto family of Tracy. During this time the Brichetto family owned much of the land around Tracy. The tomb is located in the hills south of Tracy above the Tracy Golf Course. There is not much to see though its just a about 1/2 acre square with a wrought iron fence all the way around it and the tomb in the middle. The fence and the tomb are in good condition for being so old.

Located in the hills near the Tracy Golf Course

The Stewart Iron Works Company

The Stewart Iron Works Company sure makes a fine fence. I would guess from this seal that the wrought iron fence that surrounds the tomb was built around the same time as the tomb in 1912. Its still very sturdy. Whets neat is that the company that built the fence is still in business today. They have been in business since 1888.

"According to the provisions of the will of G. Joseph Brichetto, this one acre private family cemetery was established in 1916 on a hilltop overlooking the vast lands of the Brichetto estate. Immigrants from Italy, G. Joseph, a pioneer farmer and merchant, and his wife, Luigia (Canale) Brichetto, settled in the Banta area in the 1870s.The cemetery contains a granite and marble mausoleum, built in the Grecian Doric style, with twelve crypts for Brichetto family members. Mr. and Mrs. Brichetto were the parents of seven children, four of whom are interred with their parents in the mausoleum." Check out more here

I went to see another historical site the other day. This one is pretty tame, its located in Clyde Bland Park at the end of Lowell. This is a little one room school house that was built for some of the first local familys in 1878. It has been restored and I am happy to report it is in exellent shape, also the park is really nice except for all of the noise from the 205 Traffic.

From the Stockton Record:
"Tracy's Lammersville School was erected when local families got together to built a school for their children, Pepper said. The families pooled their resources to pay for a teacher and took turns providing the educator's room and board. During the Gold Rush, you had schools springing up everywhere across the county," he said.

Hotel Built in 1878-1902

Byron Hotsprings the Secret Interrogation Center in WWII(Camp Tracy):

This is a post I did about two weeks ago that I had to delete and repost because of HTML tag errors that I do not understand, sorry for the confusion

In the 30's the hotel hit hard times and closed its doors. In March 1943 the U.S. Army chose to put one of several secret interrogation centers for German naval prisoners of war. The U.S. Navy had asked for these centers to gain naval intelligence. During 1944, there were about 921 Japanese prisoners and 645 Germans interrogated. The same report shows that the maximum number of prisoners on hand at any one time did not exceed fifty-one. Since it was a violation of the Geneva Convention to set up such centers and question prisoners of war in this manner, the centers were made to look like PW processing centers where PWs were brought for a brief period before being sent on to established PW camps. The PWs were made as comfortable as possible with good living quarters, good food and plenty of recreation. This got them talking. Also, anti-Nazi Germans working for the Americans, were intermingled with the PWs to draw them out. The activities were kept secret from the local citizenry and from the Swiss Government representatives who visited the center from time-to-time. The information gathered at Camp Tracy could have positively effected the outcome of some of the critical battles of the war. Some of the improvements made during this time included barracks, a fire station, and an air strip which is now the Byron Airport.

I'm guessing this picture on the right is the barracks. It's basic and has a 40's style tile in the kitchen and also some pretty modern insulation in the walls. The picture on the left may be the Fire station the army built.

















Interesting quotes:
The 50th Year Reunion: A Good Time To Look Back and Look
Ahead -- Dempster Dirks "When I was stationed at the PO.W. Station in Byron Hot Springs, near Tracy, California where we monitored the German and Japanese officers who were our "guests," our Commandant, Colonel Kent, felt it was only right that we would occasionally take some of the officers into San Francisco with us for dinner and a show."

A quote from the late Bill Burdette, the last Tracyitte who was at Camp Tracy(I wish I had the chance to talk to this guy, past interviews?) "There were 5 top German Generals. The best known was Gen. Gustav von Vaerst, who had been commander of the Fifth Panzer Army in North Africa. “He (Gen. von Vaerst) and other German generals were quite formal, even haughty. They wouldn’t speak to enlisted men like me, only to senior officers"
