Inscription. This sculpture honors the Gill Family rose nursery that operated during the late 19th to early 20th century in the area extending west from San Pablo Avenue to Ocean View Park. It also honors the original name of the City of Albany, which was Ocean View. The name was changed to Albany when it was learned that the name Ocean View had been used elsewhere in California.
