Description
1250 53rd Street Emeryville - The Thoroughbred Building Built in 1927 as a single-story brick industrial building, the Thoroughbred building was constructed by the Frigidaire Company as a showroom and distribution center. Located adjacent to the former New California Jockey Club, previously known as the Oakland Trotting Park. A thoroughbred racetrack, which closed shortly after horse race gambling was originally outlawed in California in 1911. In 1996, the building's interior was renovated into creative space for multi-tenant office/lab use with open floor plans, exposed brick, natural light & oversized operable windows.
