In the 1920s it was known as “The Rottenest City” on the coast due to an excess of gambling salons. From there, warehouses popped up in the city in the 1940s. Those were later converted to artist loft communes in the early 1970s. Nowadays newcomers like Pixar, IKEA and the condos on Hubbard Street are shaping the current scenery.

Changing Landscapes is a slideshow documenting what’s been called Emeryville’s rebirth.
