Trolley cars of the Oakland Transit Company crossing the trestle, in use from 1894-1904, that connected Park Boulevard to Longridge Road The Trolley Car Trestle at Trestle Glen The residential neighborhood of Trestle Glen got its name from the trolly line that was extended out of downtown Oakland. The year was 1893 and Francis Marion “Borax” Smith’s Oakland Traction Company built over what is now Lakeshore Avenue a large wooden trestle bridge. With a destination far way from downtown, the trolley line was to carry picnickers across Indian Gulch and into Sather Park. As one visitor remembered: “In those days Trestle Glen was a long ways from the city of Oakland… on the floor of the glen at the end of the bridge a pavilion was erected and suitable outbuildings for restaurants, etc., were built nearby. Dances, conventions, camp meetings, and gatherings of various kinds kept the glen pretty well patronized during the summer months. The Salvation Army held its annual camp meeting there on several occasions at which time Trestle Glen was about the busiest, liveliest place in the East bay region…” Thanks to Lakeshore Homes Association Economy Lumber Company SERVING BAY AREA BUILDING PROFESSIONALS SINCE 1935 750 High Street Oakland, California 94601 510 261-6100 HOURS Monday to Friday  7 am - 5 pm Saturday  7:30 am to 4:30 pm economylumberco.com VIEW AS A WEB PAGE © 2020, Economy Lumber Company
