Oakland Underfoot

850 6th Avenue

This appears to be the only example in all of Oakland. The partnership appears in the papers from 1892 to 1894, so this must date from that period, probably 1894. The following year John Albert Marshall, a San Francisco contractor, moved to Berkeley and began his rise to wealth and prominence. More about him on his profile page.

Harvey Y. Goff (1871-1895), an aspiring architect who had worked as a drafter for the Charles Mau and Clinton Day firms, enrolled at UC Berkeley in 1894 but died the next year at age 24. He was born in Kansas.
