In 1950, Harold Greene, a metalworker living in San Bruno, and his sister Eleonore Gruenebaum, wanted to buy a weekend getaway. Harold and his friends liked to hike in the Boulder Creek area of the Santa Cruz Mountains, and one day he stumbled upon a cabin for sale. The cabin, built in 1902 with old redwood on half an acre of the land, offered just what Harold was seeking — hiking, seclusion, and perhaps most of all, a happy reminder of his and Eleonore's childhood in Germany.
