Where in Berkeley?

Know where this is? Take a guess and let us know in the Comments.

Update 11:35 am: Rachel A. got it.  As Nick Gross explains it, this is a pair of authentic baseball bleacher seats from Fenway Park in Boston that he had installed in front of his house at 1215 Oxford Street. He bought them at an auction last year and says they attract a lot of attention, particularly from street hikers taking a break on their walk up the hill. Congratulations on being this week’s winner, Rachel!

    Those are actual Red Sox baseball bleacher seats taken from Fenway Park – when we were in Boston last year they were auctioning them off so we bought a pair and had them installed in the wall nook. We wanted to continue the Berkeley tradition of providing a bench or chair on the hillside for weary hikers.

    Last weekend, my grandson (who lives around the corner on Rose Street) and I walked past those seats. He’s eight years old and knew they had come from some stadium. Now we know from whence they came. He also loves the house.
