From The School of California Guild of Arts and Crafts, Berkeley, California, now known as California College of the Arts

These student works of 1924 were most likely done at the Treadwell Estate School Site in Oakland, Ca.

School history:
1906: Following the destruction of his home and workshop in the San Francisco earthquake, German-born cabinetmaker and art teacher Frederick H. Meyer speaks at a meeting of the local Arts and Crafts Society about his idea for a new "practical art school."
1907: Frederick Meyer establishes the School of the California Guild of Arts and Crafts in the Studio Building on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley.
1908: The school is renamed California School of Arts and Crafts and graduates its first class of five students. Many of these graduates had been students of Meyer's at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art in San Francisco. Having outgrown its location, the school moves to 2130 Center Street in Berkeley.
1910: The school moves again to 2119 Allston Way, site of the old Berkeley High School.
1922: With enrollment increasing following the influx of veterans of World War I, Meyer searches for a permanent home for the college. He purchases the four-acre James Treadwell estate in Oakland for $60,000. For the next four years, Meyer leads a crew of student, faculty, and alumni to transform the rundown estate into a campus. The Meyer family moves into the top floor of the Treadwell mansion (now called Macky Hall).
1926: The school completes its move to the new campus at 5212 Broadway, where it remains today.
