Room and Board

This old building next to the Aloha bar looks like it's imploding.  It's a cautionary tale on what happens to wood when it remains neglected and unpainted.  One can barely make out the faded words Room and Board on the side of the building.  Since it is located in front of railroad tracks, I'm guessing it once was a rooming house that served railroad men and maybe travelers.  Looks like it was built before the 1906 earthquake.  Why it's still allowed to stand is anyone's guess.  Located at Fruitvale and San Leandro Blvd.
