Not Fair Oaks Homes


The following is a gallery of photos of buildings which are often listed as Fair Oaks homes, but are not homes in the current Fair Oaks boundaries. However, the owners may have identified with Fair Oaks in the early days. We put these in so that unlabeled or incorrectly labeled photos can be identified.


This home has been identified as the Haas residence on White Rock Road


This is the Deterding residence which was located near Manzanita and Winding Way, the area now known as Carmichael. A number of families in this area identified with Fair Oaks.


This is not a home, but the Four Gables Academy on Winding Way near Illinois, a private school which many of the children in the Kenneth and Illinois Avenue area attended.


This magnificent house is often misidentified as in Fair Oaks. It is the Birch residence on Greenback near Pecan in Orangevale.
