Description
J.M. Heinold Saloon at 48 Webster Street, Oakland, California was a hangout of Jack London. A plain clapboard building with signage for draught beer and lunch. The proprietor's sign reads, "J.M. Heinold, first and last chance." Besides Coca Cola being advertised, the other signs advertise Acme Beer Brg. Cos. and Golden West Beer. A sign on the shabby door states, "Please step down." The windows are cracked and dirty.
