A century ago, on Aug. 16, 1924, a major new building opened for business in Berkeley. The Physicians Building was a five-story structure faced in buff brick, rising at the southeast corner of Telegraph Avenue and Channing Way.
The roster of building occupants at its opening included 10 dentists, an orthodontist, six doctors , a pathologist, a “roetgenologist,” an “X-ray laboratory,” a “diagnostic laboratory” and a modern pharmacy that offered “motorcycle delivery,” presumably speeding urgently needed prescriptions to patient homes. It also had a dental laboratory to fabricate dental devices.
The grand opening took place in conjunction with a Telegraph Avenue fair featuring “music, entertainment, fashion shows, souvenirs and a General Good Time for All.” Another business, Garwoods Boot Shop, opened at the same time a block away from the Physicians Building at the corner of Telegraph and Durant.
De Mart reportedly told a judge he had taken a summer auto trip to Oregon, where he was required to have “a visitor’s tag and quarantine certificate” on the windshield and then began adding stickers for various local attractions.
