Title from item. A contact print from the glass negative. The photograph shows
children in front of the Vernon Rock-Ridge Hall, a community clubhouse of the Vernon
Rock-Ridge Improvement Club, designed by its president, architect Clarence A. Tantau and
completed in 1911 as the first of its kind in Oakland. Financing for the structure came
through a cooperative sale of shares with a final total of 85 shareholders among members of
