How Oakland Preserved Buildings, Post-1989 Quake

On Thursday at 7:30 pm, the Oakland Heritage Alliance presents historian Annalee Allen in a special commemoration: the twentieth anniversary of the Loma Prieta Earthquake.

Ms. Allen will recall how this disaster impacted Oakland and how preservationists rallied to successfully save some of the city’s most treasured historic buildings, slated for demolition.

Allen is a member of the City of Oakland’s Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board, chairwoman of the Alameda County Historical Commission, an Alameda County Historical Society board member and coordinator of the city-sponsored Oakland Tours Program. She also writes a weekly column on local landmarks and history for the Oakland Tribune.

This lecture takes place at Mountain View Cemetery's Chapel of the Chimes. Admission is $10 for Oakland Heritage members and $15 for non-members.
