Figure 2.11. Looking south over the inland section of the Oakland Army
Base, east of Maritime Street, 1970. This view takes in all of the contributors
within the Northeast Component of the Oakland Army Base Historic District,
with the exception of Building 991. In the foreground, next to the freeway, is
the end‐to‐end row formed by Buildings 821, 822, and 823, adjoined by the
similarly scaled Building 812. The staggered row of immense “800 series”
warehouses extends to the south, bordered on the east by the Knight Rail
Yard. (Oakland Army Base Archives.)
Figure 2.12. Looking east over the shoreline section of the Oakland Army Base,
with “800 series” warehouses in background, 1974. This view takes in most of
the contributors within the Northwest Component of the Oakland Army Base
Historic District. To the left is the sprawling footprint of the now‐demolished
Administration Building (Building 1); across Bataan Avenue are the Cafeteria
(Building 60) and the smaller Buildings 85, 88, and 90. Clearly visible in the
foreground, behind the wharf‐top transit shed, is the group of four ship‐repair
facilities;. Building 99, at the back of the group, is the only one of these five
structures still standing. (Port of Oakland Archives.)
