Preservation Park
Preservation Park is located in Oakland, California. The park includes sixteen historic buildings, five of which stand in their original location, and eleven of which were moved from elsewhere in Oakland to avoid demolition. The sixteen houses are arranged to resemble a late 19th-century Oakland neighborhood.
The sixteen buildings are:
Remillard House, Queen Anne style. Pierre Remillard was a brickyard owner, and his bricks were used in the construction of the nearby First Unitarian Church of Oakland. Lilly Remillard tutored Jack London at the home.
Ginn House, English Arts and Crafts style. Frederick Burrell Ginn and wife Mary Crocker commissioned architect A. Page Brown to design the home. Brown later worked on the San Francisco Ferry Building.
Nile Club (or Nile Hall), Craftsman style. The Nile Club, a members-only group of Oakland's male elite, built a theater next to Ginn House. It was later used as a USO facility. Designed by Charles W. Dickey, who also worked on the Claremont Hotel.
