HISTORICAL REFLECTIONS: Glass panes on the American Presidents Line Building at 1111 Broadway glisten with (from left to right) the Oakland Tribune tower, the tower of the former Bank of America Building (today's F.H. One Building at 1212 Broadway) and 1330 Broadway. The Clorox Building nudges in on the right.

This blog is a work in progress begun on February 3, 2007. I will add more information and photos as time goes by; Last update: December 11, 2009.

As a starting point, I'm using the list of landmarks that former Pardee Home Museum director David Nicolai prepared for the Oakland Heritage Alliance Web site (http://www.oaklandheritage.com/)

You'll find some abbreviations in David's list: NHL, NRHP and CHL

NHL: National Historic Landmark

National Historic Landmarks are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. Today, fewer than 2,500 historic places bear this national distinction; Oakland has five.

NRHP: National Register of Historic Places

The National Register of Historic Places is the nation’s official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation. Properties listed in the Register include districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture. The National Register is administered by the National Park Service, which is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior. There are about 80,000 properties on this list; fifty-four are in Oakland.

I just started a blog that lists Oakland's National Historical Landmarks and Oakland's representation on the National Register of Historical Places.

CHL: California Historical Landmark

California Historical Landmarks are buildings, structures, sites, or places that have been determined to have statewide historical significance by meeting strict criteria. The resource also must be approved for designation by the County Board of Supervisors or the City/Town Council in whose jurisdiction it is located; be recommended by the State Historical Resources Commission; and be officially designated by the Director of California State Parks. California Historical Landmarks numbered 770 and above are automatically listed in the California Register of Historical Resources.

There are thirteen California Historical Landmarks in Oakland.

As I've done with the national landmarks, I have added a blog with the list of state landmarks in Oakland.

There is a fourth category of landmark not noted on David's list:

ACHL: Alameda County Historical Landmark

Oakland has fifty-nine Alameda County Historical Landmarks.

I've created a blog with a list of these landmarks.

PHOTO CREDITS: So far, I've downloaded post cards from the Oakland Heritage Alliance Web site, a photo from the Pardee Home Museum Web site. I've used four photographs. The photos of the APL building with the reflections, the redwood tree "Old Survivor" and the Necklace of Lights with the Tribune Tower are my own. Eric Kos took the one of the Camron-Stanford House. I downloaded the 1917 photo of the Southern Pacific station at 16th and Wood streets from http://www.bayarearailfan.org/index.html, a great resource for the railroad history buff. I've also used historical photos from the Oakland History Room collection.

Eric Kos and I would like to invite you to visit our Web site (http://www.oaklandhistory.com/)

The top photo was taken in 1886 just after Miller built "The Hights." (Yes, that's how he spelled it! ) Look closely and you'll see the poet standing on the bridge in the middle of the photo. The second image is a postcard from the Oakland Heritage Alliance Web site.

Here's the text from the California Historical Landmark plaque:

107 Joaquin Miller, "Poet of the Sierras," resided on these acres, named by him "The Hights," from 1886 to 1918. In this building, known as The Abbey, he wrote "Columbus" and other poems. The surrounding trees were planted by him and he personally built, on the eminence to the north, the funeral pyre and the monuments dedicated to Moses, General John C. Fremont, and Robert Browning. "The Hights" was purchased by the City of Oakland in 1919.

June 19, 1979
NRHP 1983

When Oakland's fifth City Hall was completed in 1914, it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi. The 97-foot-tall layered structure was designed by Palmer & Hornbostel Architects of New York in the Beaux Arts style. The facade is white granite and terra cotta, the interior white and black marble and creamy-colored imported Caen stone. The fancy design was dubbed "Mayor Mott's wedding cake" after Oakland Mayor Frank Mott married the year construction began.

It features a three-story podium supporting a slimmer, 10-story office tower. Atop the office tower rests a smaller two-story podium (floors 13 and 14), from which rises a 91-foot clock tower reached from a circular staircase inside. A three-tiered, 36-cell jail and outdoor exercise yard for the inmates is located on the 12th floor, although it hasn't been used since the 1960s.

Four Carnegie branch libraries
City
November 4, 1980
NRHP 1996

Source: http://www.carnegielibraries.org/

Four branch libraries in Oakland were constructed between 1916 and 1918, the result of a 1914 Carnegie grant of $140,000 obtained specifically for branch libraries by Oakland's city librarian Charles S. Greene. Oakland pioneered branch libraries, opening branch reading rooms as early as 1878, and later emphasizing neighborhood branches.

Greene's branch request matched Andrew Carnegie's philosophy wherein more recent grants focused on small towns and on branches in metropolitan areas to bring books closer to the people where they lived. However, controversy surrounded the attempt to allocate the four sites evenly between established working class neighborhoods and newer middle class neighborhoods east of Lake Merritt.

Today all but the 23rd (or Miller) Avenue Library serve as libraries, all of the buildings have been retrofitted and restored.

1. Golden Gate, 5606 San Pablo Avenue
Oakland's Golden Gate Branch, also designed by Donovan and Dickey, is a unique example among California Carnegies of Georgian Revival architecture. Located on the southeast corner of San Pablo Avenue and 56th Street, it faces on busy industrial and commercial San Pablo Avenue but is surrounded by residential neighborhoods. The library formerly housed the Northern California Center for Afro-American History and Life, which has been moved to the African American Museum and Library at Oakland (originally Oakland's Carnegie main library).



2. Melrose, 4805 Foothill Boulevard
Because of the early donation of land, Melrose construction was able to begin before World War One (the other branches had to wait until 1918), and with $35,000 the practiced Carnegie architect William H. Weeks was able to plan a larger building with more amenities, such as the marble lined foyer, than was possible by the time the other three branches were constructed. The site of the Melrose branch, at the intersection of Foothill Blvd., 48th Avenue, and Fremont Way is a wedge-shaped lot. The Classical Revival building is in the form of two rectangles set at angles with a generous rotunda between. Because it was thought to be the most fireproof of the Oakland branches, and because of its location near a high school and use by young people, Melrose was the recipient of the Gibson collection of books and a generous endowment.


3. Temescal, 5205 Telegraph Avenue
Donovan and Dickey chose the Tudor style for the Alden branch, as the Temescal Branch was called from 1918 to 1948; it is the remaining example of California's two Tudor style Carnegies. It is located on the northwest corner of 52nd Street and Telegraph Avenue near the intersection with Claremont Avenue, Its auditorium has served as a community center. Alden was the historical name for the Temescal area but had long been supplanted by the latter in popular usage. The change of the library's name to Temescal was made at the request of neighborhood organizations. The library has recently been retrofitted and refurbished to its original interior appearance.

4. 23rd Avenue, 1441 Miller Avenue Architects C.W. Dickey and John Donovan were chosen to design the Miller Avenue library, along with the Alden and Golden Gate branches. The Spanish Revival building is located on the southwest corner of Miller Avenue and East 15th Street near the intersection of Foothill Blvd. and 23rd Avenue. Its neighborhood is now mainly commercial and industrial with some residential. The building is no longer part of the library system; it has served as an alternative school for the Oakland public schools, was briefly a social service facility, and has had several periods of vacancy.

From when it was built in 1918 until 1966, the building was known as the 23rd Avenue Branch Library; from 1966 to 1972, it was called the Ina Coolbrith Branch; from 1972 to 1976 it was known as the Latin American Branch.

All four branch libraries (along with the Charles S. Greene Library, Oakland Landmark #48; home to the African American Museum and Library of Oakland) were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996 as part of a multi-property California Carnegie Libraries listing.
