Oakland Floral Depot building

The Oakland Floral Depot Building is a stunning deep blue terra cotta Art Deco building in the Uptown neighborhood. Although it was formerly occupied by a Floral company, it is currently the site of the Flora restaurant (and adjacent expanding bars, restaurants, etc.). The restaurant name was inspired by the building's history.
