Stephen Nelson found these incredible news articles from 1889. They are so amazing, I can’t believe we had not found them yet. They are about the original Oaklands owner, and best of all, we found out why he called it Oakland Apartments. It has been a mystery until now. The original owner went to Oakland, CA for the winter, the year before he built the apartments….winter of 1887-88!!! And we never knew that they moved into the Oakland Apartments, because he had a house next door!
