Overview

San Francisco architect Carl Werner designed both the 4th Churches of Christ Scientist in Oakland and San Francisco, CA, c. 1922. Werner also supervised the completion of the 4th Church of Christ Scientist in San Francisco completed in 1913. Both churches were grand Beaux-Arts Classical buildings, each with a stately, templar appearance.

Building History

Erected between 1920 and 1923, the 4th Church of Christ Scientist operated at this location for nearly 60 years, before it was sold 04/15/1984.

In 1987, the Oakland Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board voted not to add the 4th Church of Christ Scientist to the Oakland Landmarks Preservation List. This probably followed the wishes of the building's owner, as the building, stylistically, was worthy of induction onto the list. It is possible that alterations had marred its original integrity.
