While working on 529 Ocean View, Emily also designed two houses in San Jose, one for Lillian's parents and another for the Reverend George Foote, a minister at Emily's church. A 1906 San Jose Mercury article, "Women as Architects with Special Mention of Emily Williams"- probably written by Lillian-discussed the Palmer and Foote houses and provided a wonderful advertisement for Emily's skills (see page 22). When in San Jose, Emily and Lillian lived with the Donald Palmers at the houseEmilydesignedforthemin1906at66SouthPriestStreet(now66 South14thStreet).Lillianhadametalworkingstudiointhebasementand was in the business of furnishing light fixtures. Emily and Lillian occasionally joined other visitors to the Monterey area in trips to Point Lobos and the Carmel Mission In the spring of 1906, the Pacific Grove newspaper reported that Emily was supervising the construction of a cottage in Carmel near the sea, but no additional information has yet been located about this project. Following the success of Sequoia Lodge and the SanJose Mercury article, Emily had her busiest year on the Monterey Peninsula in 1907. Early that year, Emily designed and oversaw the building of a two-story, shingled vacation home at 119 Grand for W.S. Richards.
