Notes:
"On March 31, 1890 they formed the Altenheim Assocation While originally looking at San Francisco, the decision was made to purchase land in Oakland's Dimond District for $6,000.00. The site was on a hill overlooking Friedrich Rhoda’s cherry orchards, Charlie Schumacher’s fruit trees and the Biergartens of Trepper, Nochaus, and Bauerhofer."
