The James White House was built in 1875, and it is one of the houses in Preservation Park
that had to be moved. The freeway was going through, the 980 freeway connector, and this
house was in the way, so in order to save it, the Redevelopment Agency, moved it to
this site.
The James White family, they were the founders of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, here
in the East Bay. Today, it's got the offices upstairs, for the park, and downstairs is
a wonderful caf?, lunch place. A wonderful place to come in downtown Oakland, and enjoy
lunch and listen to the fountain.
