Talk:Studio Building (Berkeley, California)

Contents from other merged page
For easy of incorporation I've copied the contents from the other merged page here:


 * The Berkeley Studio Building is located at the corner of Shattuck Avenue and Addison Street. At the time of building it was the tallest building in downtown Berkeley. The building was constructed to include commercial space on the bottom floors and artists’ studios and galleries on the fifth floor. The building was the first home of the Berkeley College of Arts and Crafts and included tenants such as architect John Hudson Thomas and photographers Oscar Maurer and Edwin James McCullagh.[1]


 * History
 * The building was constructed by Frederick H. Dakin in 1905. The building’s first art exhibition was held in December 1906. The Mason-McDuffie Real Estate Company occupied the ground floor commercial space from 1905 until 1928.


 * Architecture
 * The Studio building is one of the group of masonry buildings in the area and has a distinct tile mansard roof and rounded bay windows. The storefront bays were built as a series of rounded and pointed arches. The name ‘’The Studio Building’’ is found at the tile floor entrance along with a picture of a palette and paint brushes.
