Property Overview
The “Howden Building” was built as a commercial showroom in 1925 for Robert Howden & Sons who sold mantels, grates, floor tiles and wall tiles. The building is distinguished by the tile on its exterior as well as tile floors throughout the ground floor. According to the Tile Heritage Foundation, the tiles were installed by Robert Howden, Sr., and three assistants, and the building was intended to serve as a monument to his career, as well as to encourage his sons to continue carrying on the business, then called Howden and Sons. The Howden Building was designated an Oakland landmark in 1984.

Retail tenants in the building include: The Howden Bar and Grill, The Howden Market, James and the Giant Cupcake, Beauty Nail, The Hair Gym, and King Kog Bicycles.
