They’re all part of the incredible 120-year history of one iconic Emeryville building.

On May 12, 1891, Oakland was propelled into modernity with their first electric streetcar!
Courtesy of the Oakland & Berkeley Rapid Transit Co., streetcars now linked UC Berkeley's west & south gates to Downtown Oakland. They were painted red or blue for what line they ran on.

Frank Lloyd Wright once designed a second San Francisco Bay Bridge... the result was beautiful.
Six lanes, walkways, and rapid transit would have been swept over the Bay on angelic arches. At the center? A "hanging garden," with sweeping vistas of Oakland and SF.
