The Board informed Mr. Hanscom that so far as it was concerned the contract and specifications by U. S.

Mr. Walter N. Frickstad, City Engineer, appeared before the Board in connection with opening of Seventh Street between Fallon and Eighth Streets. Since the first plans for this street opening had been brought to the attention of the Board, Mr. Frickstad stated that a private company had purchased some of the property over which said Seventh Street extension would have passed, and therefore it would be necessary for the Port Commission to effect an exchange of properties with Southern Pacific Com- pany. The Board informed Mr. Frickstad that as the land proposed to be exchanged with Southern Pacific Company was tide land, and therefore could not be alienated, the pro- posed new location of Seventh Street extension could not be constructed as indicated on the plan presented by Mr. Frickstad.

The matter was referred to Mr. Swan with authority to act. The Port Manager reported that he had furnished the Outboard Motor Association of Northern California with maps and photographs showing a possible course to be pro- vided in the Inner Harbor for the annual national motor races in October of 1931, and that this information would be taken to New York City ' in an effort to have the an- nual races in Oakland on the above date. The Port Manager reported that he had taken informal bids for the installation of a Neon light sign at Oakland Municipal Airport and that these informal bids called for a one-year bond guaranteeing the operation of said sign. The Board believed that a three-year bond should be furnished by the successful bidder and the matter was re- ferred to Mr. Pendleton with power to act.

However, due to inadequate de- fenses in the area, a plan was devised to level the island, and then build a concrete structure on top of it armed with Battleship two twin 12-inch guns. This was submitted to the War Department, which decided to change the 12-inch guns to 14-inch guns mounted on twin armored turrets. The forward turret, with a traverse of 230°, was mounted on the forward portion of the top deck, which was 9 ft below the top deck; the rear turret, with a full 360° traverse, was mounted on the top deck. The guns of both turrets were capable of 15° elevation, giving them a range of 19,200 yards. Secondary armament was to be provided by two pairs of 6-inch guns mounted in armored casemates on either side of the main structure. There were two 3-inch mobile AA guns on “spider” mounts for anti-aircraft de- fense.

Historic Name: Rio Grande Oil Terminal; Richfield Oil Terminal B2. Common Name: Marathon Pipelines Terminal; Tesoro Marine Terminal 2; Pier B Berth 76 B3. Original Use: Industrial buildings; oil tanks B4. Present Use: Office building; industrial support building; oil tanks *B5. Architectural Style: Classical Revival; Mid-Century Modern; Utilitarian *B6. Construction History: (Construction date, alteration, and date of alterations) Although building permits related to the subject site are limited, the following construction history is informed by available aerial photographs. The original oil terminal on this site, the Rio Grande Oil Terminal, was constructed in 1929, and included nine oil tanks, a wharf facility, and a series of gabled brick buildings both south and east of the tank grouping that supported the terminal’s operations. Aerial photographs reveal that between 1953 and 1956, four additional tanks were constructed within the fenced tank grouping. The original volume of the administration building on the site, near the current-day Pier B Street, and the gabled support building at the southern edge of the site were also constructed during this period. A second building along the southern edge of the site was built between 1972 and 1980, as was a metal- clad building south of the tank grouping. Building alterations associated with the c.1970-era expansion of the administration building appear to have included an eastern addition to the building, and extensions of the north and south façades to accommodate a new entrance and windows.
