1301-03 Park Street - Park Street Historic Commercial District - Alameda, CA - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

"A large 2-story frame Italianate commercial building, rectangular in plan, with bracketed cornice concealing the roof marks the northwest corner site at the intersection of Park Street and Encinal Avenue along which the railroad formerly travelled. The elaborate Park Hotel prominently identified the opposite (southeast) corner in early days. Of the two storefronts on the first floor of the building the corner was historically occupied by a drug store (both 1897 and 1910 Sanborn maps). Early photos reveal a covered walkway on the Park Street front; later, awnings replaced the covered walk. Numerous alterations, including a major renovation and stucco application in 1970 have not destroyed the building's handsome bearing. The decorative embellishment above the cornice has been removed and the overhanging window frames are gone. Four-light windows on the Park Street front have been replaced by parallel pairs of narrow windows."
