Inscription.
No pivotal battles that changed the course of history were fought here. Nary a famous person was ever born or raised, lived, slept, dined, or even gave a glancing look at this place. This location did not provide a monumental role in the development of the great city of Berkeley. It would come as a considerable surprise if the building you see before you was used for anything beyond being an ordinary home.

The house isn't even terribly old.

On this site nothing of any great significance to be noteworthy of a historical record ever transpired.

Erected 2014 by Berkeley Hysterical Plaque Project.
