Figure 4.13. Looking northeast to Building 99 in 1933, when the leased<br />
property reverted to the Port <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong>. Built in 1918 as the centerpiece<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Union Construction Company shipyard, this large plate shop (high<br />
first story) and mold l<strong>of</strong>t (partial upper floor) was refurbished by the Port<br />
in 1937 for various industrial tenants. The Army reused the structure as a<br />
ship‐repair facility, later adapting it for use as a vehicle maintenance<br />
shop. (Port <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong> Archives.)<br />
Figure 4.14. Building 99, looking southwest. This view clearly shows the<br />
scale and the stepped, gabled massing <strong>of</strong> the structure. The exterior has<br />
been altered by the application <strong>of</strong> asbestos‐cement panels over the original<br />
horizontal wood siding and the enclosure <strong>of</strong> windows with translucent<br />
plastic panels.<br />
