Jacob Berg was an Oakland-based woodcarver and artist during the 1930s.
The Jacob Berg collection comprises three decorative panels that were installed on the second floor of the Gray Shop, which
stood on the corner of 20th and Broadway in Oakland from 1931-1978. The architectural embellishments are cast aluminum panels
in the art deco style. Accompanying the three panels, are a series of photographs and negatives that feature the panels.
