Caption: First Unitarian Church of Oakland - View of Fourteenth Street Church Entrance from NE
Additional Description: The Church traces its roots to 1869, when Laurentine Hamilton, a Presbyterian minister, was convicted of heresy and expelled from the church. Hamilton and his followers formed a separate church, which after his passing eventually organized into the first Unitarian Church of Oakland in 1887. The congregation then met at the Odd Fellows Hall, and then Hamilton Hall, until the church was completed in 1891.
