Archive Notes

"BAHA commissioned Yeo Hock Wah to sketch 14 blocks in Downtown in order for BAHA to create a commemorative folder entitled “Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley; Streetscape, 1878-1978” as part of Berkeley’s Centennial. Later, Fidelity reproduced some of the blocks in a larger format and commissioned Yeo to do some additional drawings."
