Tantau and completed in 1911 as the first of its kind in Oakland. Financing for the structure came through a cooperative sale of shares with a final total of 85 shareholders among members of the community.

Currently (as of July 2006), the structure houses Ye Ole Hut, a familiar saloon along the College Avenue commercial strip. Glass negative number in Oakland History Room's collection : G-33
