'''Before the Bay Bridge the Key System trains ended on the "mole" at the end of the landfill spit where they discharged their passengers who then boarded ferries to cross the Bay to San Francisco. This is actually the second "temporary" terminal used until the trains ran on the bridge. The original terminal was destroyed in a fire on the night of May 6, 1933 which destroyed the building, 14 interurban cars and the ferry Peralta. '''<br />

'''The Oakland Mole in early 20th century was the end point of the Southern Pacific steam trains and later also their Interurban Electric Railway trains that serviced the East Bay. The Key System trains terminated at their own pier to the north of the Oakland Mole until the completion of the Bay Bridge allowed them to roll all the way to the Transbay Terminal.''' <br />

<br />
The area was built up after 1858 as the city's first middle-class expansion. The district's middle-class quality was lost after the 1906 earthquake when refugees poured into the neighbor-hood and threw up shacks and odd structures in every conceivable lot and corner. By the 1950s this diverse and relatively chaotic assortment of structures, dating from the 1800s, was seen as a cause of delinquency and public health problems.<br />
<br />
The Western Addition A-1 clearance project led to the redevelopment of [[Japanese in Western Addition |Japantown]] and the Geary Boulevard corridor in the early 1960s. Once built, the surrounding area appeared even more "blighted" by comparison, so redevelopment monies were directed toward continuing the removal of old housing stock. <br />
