Hotel Oakland Exterior
Exterior above the front entrance of the historic Oakland Hotel. I found this account online:
"Originally constructed between 1910 and 1912 with funds exceeding $3,000,000, the block-square hotel (Figure 1) became a prominent social center during the next decade. Presidents Wilson, Coolidge, and Hoover were guests at the facility, as were other celebrities, including Amelia Earhardt, Sarah Bernhardt, Jean Harlow, and Mary Pickford (Scott 1959).
During the 1930's, the hotel was forced into bankruptcy several times as the result of the depression and management difficulties. In 1943, the U.S. Army took possession of it for use as a hospital. All furnishings were auctioned off, including irreplaceable chandeliers of which only photographs remain. Following World War II, several unsuccessful attempts were made to reopen the hotel for public use. The Veterans' Administration eventually occupied the facility as a hospital until August of 1963. For the next 15 years it stood vacant. In 1978 a Boston-based developer obtained possession and remodeled it into a housing project for the elderly. It remains in this use today."
