First Stop: The Bilger Quarry Historical Site at the south end of the Safeway parking lot.The Quarry was in operation from 1870 to 1923.It provided rock for Oakland’s roads.

P1090293 (2) Now it serves as a reservoir for the Claremont Country Club.(Glen Echo Creek is the source of its water).

Second Stop: Macky Hall (formerly known as the Treadwell Mansion) on the CCA campus.

In 1879, the five-acre site was sold to William Elmer Hale for $500 (source is Annalee Allen’s, “House on a Hill: The Hale-Treadwell House at CCAC,” 2). William Hale had the mansion constructed between 1879-1881. William Hale (1842-1900) was a descendent of the Revolutionary War hero Nathan Hale (famous for saying ” I regret I only have one life to give to my country” before he was hung by the British). In 1889 the property and the mansion were purchased for $35,000 in cash by brothers John & James Treadwell. In 1922, the 3.95-acre Treadwell Estate was purchased from the Treadwell family by Frederick H. Meyer for $60,000 to relocate the California School of Arts & Crafts from its Berkeley campus to that property at 5212 Broadway. Source is “California College of the Arts Oakland Campus 5212 Broadway History Resource Evaluation” [18322] by Page & Turnbull on November 19.2019.
In 2017 CCA provided an option to redevelop the property to Emerald Fund & Equity Community Builders who intend to build between 400-600 apartments. Two (out of 12) buildings on the campus will be saved: Treadwell Mansion & its Carriage House.
