OAKLAND’S 16TH ST TRAIN STATION HEADS TO NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES
On Thursday, November 7, 2024, Oakland Heritage Alliance representatives took a train to Sacramento for a hearing with the State Historical Resources Commission, which unanimously recommended nomination to the National Register of Historic Places for the 1912 Southern Pacific 16th St. Train Station and its Signal Tower. The National Park Service reviews nominations, and confers National Register status. Designation is to be made within 60 days. Being on this list will recognize the site’s importance, and make it eligible for federal tax credits with the IRS, providing up to 20% of construction costs in a restoration project.
