Photo shows the exterior of the original home of the Oakland S.P.C.A. The building appears to have been a house complete with front porch and fenced in front yard. Near the building is another smaller building, possibly the kennel to hold the animals. A sign nearby says "Boarding and Washing of Animals inquire at office." Another sign near the main building says "Oakland Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals." Near this sign a car is parked.
