The owners of the houses had chosen to rescue and restore, to pour their time, energy, and money into the imaginative conversion of buildings into homes, and whose aim, aside from the creation of desired living spaces, was to insure the preservation of many an unusual building and thereby add to the architectural flavor of the community - they are praised as environmental engineers. The book depicts conversions of a chicken coop, a barn, a mews house, carriage house, firehouse, creamery, icehouse, water tower, powerhouse, an armorer's workshop, a doll factory, industrial buildings in Paris and San Francisco, a cannery, factories, a bakery, boats and barges, a caboose, a Pullman car, railroad stations, a bank, a schoolhouse, a church and more.

Frank Molinari is an Italian-American, a devout Roman Catholic, a married man with children from a previous marriage, and a successful investment advisor living in San Francisco. As he faces the changes of getting older the breakdown of the body, the increasing closeness of death, and a very different world from that in which he was raised his irritation with many of the changes that have transpired in his world is seen through the kaleidoscope of his conversations with friends and of the memories he has about his friendships and lovers. Charles Fracchia s Palimpsest is a welcome addition to the scarcity of fiction that examines what seems to an older person to be the golden years of his youth.

Historian Charles Fracchia's latest book covers the years 1848 to 1859 and vividly brings to life the roller-coaster lifestyle and landscape of San Francisco during the Gold Rush. The history of this instantaneous city that was constantly bursting at the seams, along with its rogues and colorful characters, its crime and vigilance committees, is enhanced with more than 200 illustrations and photographs, some never before published.
