House comes down for future Oakland Library Addition


Down it came! The Oakland Library Foundation purchased this house on Thomas Avenue in Oakland from Angie Loomis. The Foundation had the home, in poor condition, torn down today, Oct. 17th. The property will be used for an addition to the Oakland Public Library in the future.
