This building, on the northeast corner of the Shattuck family’s property, was the first masonry structure on Shattuck Avenue. It ushered in the transformation of pioneer-era wood-frame buildings to today’s more substantial masonry buildings. Its interior included professional offices and a meeting hall for the Native Sons of the Golden West.
The corner turret and ground–floor storefronts were restored in 1998 when developer Avi Nevo also added a mansard-style forth floor.
Erected 1998 by Berkeley Historical Plaque Project.
