In the early 1920's, the building was purchased by the Oxford Savings Bank and was torn down to the Terrazzo floor, and rebuilt into the one story Indiana limestone building you see today. It was the home of Oxford Savings Bank from 1922 to 1966. It was left vacant for several years, and took months of hard work by many determined volunteers to refurbish the building to be used as a museum.
The Northeast Oakland Historical Museum recently celebrated its 35th anniversary.
