Weekend Reflection: Howden Building

The Howden Building is located at Webster and 17th St.   The tiles above the entry hint at the tiled facade and a wide variety of tile within.  It was built in 1925 by Robert Howden, who had a tile business in Oakland for 30 years.  Originally from Scotland, Howland is also known for building a castle home in the Santa Cruz mountains.  This building now houses many different retail and office spaces.  Linked to Weekend Reflections.
