Description

Shattuck Square, 1927 a group of three buildings constructed, elaborate cast-concrete ornamentation and window detail in a Spanish Colonial style, on the site of a former railroad freight yard, as a northern anchor to Berkeley’s historic downtown commercial district. It is the city’s only work by the San Francisco architectural firm that also designed the Paramount Theater in Oakland. Addison was not a through street until Berkeley Square, to the south, was built in the 1940s. The SP station just to south was razed for Berkeley Square.
