Residents of Northbrae plan to restore two historic bronze lanterns on stone pillars, previously designed by architect John Galen Howard in 1910. The community-driven project has raised over $13,000 and involves local artisans. Activation behind the movement, Darrell Owens, hopes the restored lanterns will encourage greater appreciation and maintenance of public art in the neighborhood. A public unveiling is planned for May, marking a significant revival of Northbrae's artistic heritage, which has gone unrecognized for decades.
Berkeley resident Darrell Owens remarked, 'If we pull this off, I think that it will inspire others to recognize and maintain public art in our neighborhood.'
Activist Darrell Owens stated, 'There are groups in Claremont and St. Francis Wood that ensure their historical installations are maintained, but Northbrae lacks such a group.'
