View south across Broadway to the Park Building (shown here after major alterations), in the center of the block on the south side of 14th Street between Broadway and Washington. It was built in 1878 by W.W. Camron (architect Clinton Day) and originally was known as the Camron Block, containing Camron Hall, a concert and lecture hall on its upper floors. In the early 1930's the Oakland Downtown Property Owners' Association sponsored a modernization and rehabilitation program, in which this building was included. The modernization was the work of architect Edward T. Foulkes. Foster's Lunch, Leader's Custom Shoes, Rocsil's Vitality Shoes, Crescent Corsed shop. 1970s photo of 1934 image. [Misg. Imp.
