Napa

Westwood was built, I think, in 1942. Original prices were about $3500. My folks bought theirs in 1946 for $6500.

I was born and raised in Napa. Growing up in the 50s, there were only whites (except for one Latino family) in Westwood. Population was about 16,000.
Now, there are perhaps ten white families — the rest are Latinos.
