History
editThe mansion was built for John Treadwell and James Treadwell, owners of the Tesla Coal Mine in Alameda County.[1] The building was designed by architect Clinton Day, in the Gothic Revival and Eastlake-Stick style.[1]
In 1922, it was purchased by Frederick Heinrich Wilhelm Meyer, the founder of the California School of Arts and Crafts (now California College of the Arts).[1][7] The school started using the building as part of the campus in 1926.[1] In 2022, the art school left the building and moved to San Francisco.[3]
