Historic Key Route System Building Tour and Discussion
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Historic Central Building
(see times)
Join us for an exterior tour of the 1100 Broadway Building, followed by a discussion of its historic significance and future in Oakland's downtown.
Built in 1911 for the Security Bank and Trust, this handsome Beaux Arts building was designed by architects Frederick Meyer and Walter Reed. Popularly known as the Key Route Building, it became the headquarters for the Key System transit line in 1943. A designated Oakland Landmark, it is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
After the tour, we’ll gather at the nearby historic Central Building, built in 1926, for a discussion with preservation architect, Alan Dreyfuss, Key System enthusiast John Stashik, and Steven Wolmark of SKS Investments, the current owners and developers of the building. This panel of experts will talk about the building’s history and its prospects for rehabilitation and development.
We regret that we are unable to tour the 1100 Broadway building's interior due to potential structural and seismic hazards.
