Transport yourself back to a previous era in downtown Berkeley, California, with the Corder Building. Its Classical revival design and history leave a lasting impression.

Step back in time as you visit the Corder Building in downtown Berkeley, California. This Classical revival building, built in 1900, offers a glimpse into the past. Designed by James W. Plachek, a prolific architect who also designed various other buildings in Berkeley including the UC Theatre, Berkeley Public Library, and Chamber of Commerce Building, among others, the Corder Building stands as a testament to Plachek's creativity. The Corder Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 11, 1982, ensuring its place in history. Today, the ground floor houses a pharmacy, while the upper floors have been transformed into the Shattuck Apartments.
