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

"The outstanding feature of this one-story rectangular brick building is the striking blue terra cotta tile facade. Miss Marple's at 1411 Park retains an old style key hole shaped entry with small tiles on the floor. Originally two stories high, the Boehmer Building offered commercial space at the street level and during the 1880's and 1890's the public library occupied the second floor.With the opening of the Encinal :Nationar Bank in 1926, the Alameda Times-Star reported that "the bank is housed in premises so completely remodeled that the structure is almost a new building." Another major alteration took place when the New Rio Theatre opened in 1943. From the rear it is possible to see the original brick walls of the building." (visit link)
