One of the joys that I get out of being in real estate is finding these gems of history that you would have never known existed, much less the rich tradition behind it,
without someone letting you in because they need your professional expertise to help them solve a problem.
One of these gems led me to discover that a section of Oakland called the Diamond District had been home to a large German population and in turn sprouted many Beer Gardens before prohibition. One of the most famous was owned by Charlie Tepper and was called: The Tepper' House Hotel and Beer Garden.
Turns out that Charlie Tepper opened his establishment in 1896 and ran it until prohibition shut him down. The rental is the 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 1200sf loft upstairs that was the Teppers family residence... See How it looks today
