Emeryville preservationists are awaiting a Jan. 17 City Council meeting to learn if several condemned Victorian-era cottages on 41st Street, between San Pablo Avenue and Adeline Street, known as the Triangle District, will face the wrecking ball — clearing the way for a new townhome development.
Recent news reports reveal the vacant houses are owned by John Tibbetts, long-time proprietor of the nearby Oaks Card Club. At a council meeting in December, an appeal filed by a neighbor opposing the project was heard, and city staff members were directed to evaluate how much it would cost to move the structures, or perhaps incorporate them into the new development.
