A New Million Dollar Home For Oakland {Calif.) Lodge

Following months of study, and planning to combine the best features of club buildings in America and Europe, the plans for the new Home of Oakland (Calif.) Lodge, No. 171, have been presented to the membership and actual work on the structure begun. The new Home, when built, furnished and equipped, will represent an investment of more than a million dollars in addition to the property value of the location. The main portion of the structure will be eight stories high, while the wing given over to private dining-rooms, showers and baths will reach a height of nearly 180 feet. Only two other Oakland buildings %\-ill be higher. The building will include fifty-five living-rooms, bowling alleys, handball courts, a complete gymnasium, as well as numerous committee rooms, lounge rooms and other facilities. The Lodge room on the fourth floor will be the largest of its kind on the Pacific Coast. On top of the building will be a roof garden. Complete elevator service will be provided throughout the structure.
