At least 50 structures, maybe more, including a power plant, one historical structure, a small drain, the main hospital, and a few still partially used locations.  Basic Information Type: Buildings with extensive grounds Status: Demolished Accessibility: Moderate Recommendation: drop everything - must see  Physical Information Address Oakland, California United States Owner: City of Oakland/Base Reuse Commision See a map of this location  Hazards asbestos rust unsafe flooring Nosy neighbors.  Interesting Features What is not to like? A drain, a tower, a power plant, a chapel, boiler rooms, tennis courts...  Security Measures fences barbed wire part-time guard locked gates welded doors wooden boarding  Historical Dates Built: 1940 Closed: 1996  Required Equipment flashlight breathing mask gloves long pants / sleeves  Recommended Equipment  History Saw most of its use during World War II, and in the years immediately following. Perhaps most famous for its connection to Scientology (check it out, its a pretty good story). Was briefly reused as a command center in '96 for Operation: Urban Warrior, a deeply unpopular military training operation that took place through out the bay area, with a focus on urban pacification. What little vandalism has been done to the property dates from this usage.  Media Coverage There is a fair amount, if you look.  Future Plans Up in the air - has been transfered back and forth a few times, but previous buyers have won the bidding but lacked the funds to pay for the property. Eventually, it will be sold to a developer to become a high rent condo property, possibly including a 9 hole golf course.  Stories Bums, Vagrants and Assorted Weirdness Thu, Apr 14th, 2005 posted by mrsleep The Officers Club Thu, Nov 11th, 2004 posted by mrsleep Where it all begin...
