Historic Furnishings Report: Strentzel-Muir House. John Muir National Historic Site, Martinez, CA
Dr. John T. Strentzel and his wife, Louisiana Erwin Strentzel, moved to Martinez, California, in 1853. Dr. Strentzel practiced medicine, grew fruit commercially, and made wine. The Strentzels only daughter, Louisiana, married John Muir in 1880 and they all lived together in the Strentzels ranch house until early 1883, when Dr. and Mrs. Strentzel constructed a new house on the property. At that point, the Strentzels moved into the spacious two-story home that would come to be known as the Strentzel-Muir house. The Muirs remained in the ranch house on the Strentzel property, which was a wedding gift from Louies parents. The Strentzel-Muir house is situated at the top of a rise outside the city of Martinez, in Californias Alhambra Valley. The house faces north, towards the city and the Suisun Bay in the distance. Two parlors, a center hall, a dining room, a library, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a servants bedroom are located on the ground floor, with a glassed-in conservatory and sun porch on the east and west faces of the house. All four rooms recommended for historic furnishings support the first interpretive objective laid out in the Interpretive Prospectus: Understand the circumstances and experiences that helped to shape a major American figure in conservation. Through a combination of furnished rooms, traditional exhibits, interior waysides, and guided and self-guided tours, visitors should come away with a greater understanding of the home life that supported and encouraged Muirs significant contributions to public understanding and support of conservation ethics in America and the subsequent preservation of cherished wilderness areas.
