This Berkeley building at 1837 Alcatraz Ave. is believed to be the same one dedicated by the East Bay Masonic Lodge No. 489 a century ago this week. Masonic symbols are still inset in the facade brickwork at the top of the structure.Two important new buildings were in the news in Berkeley a century ago on March 8, 1924, the day a local Masonic temple held “impressive dedication ceremonies” at its new South Berkeley headquarters.
The building also contained a banquet room that could seat 250. All the lodge facilities were on the second floor of the Alcatraz Avenue structure, east of Adeline Street. The ground floor was rented to the Ashby Furniture Company, which used it for display space and storage. While the Gazette did not give the street address, I believe this building still stands at 1837 Alcatraz Ave.
“Last Sunday in the drizzle we sold over $20,000 of these wooded view home sites, which adjoin and look down upon the new stadium and, beyond, the university campus and its historic halls.”Mr. and Mrs. Arthur and Alice Best, both well known painters “have recently come to Berkeley to reside and have opened their studio here,” the Gazette reported March 6, 1924.
