Cohen Bray House, located at 1440 29th Avenue in Oakland, California, is a historic institution listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated as an Oakland Historic Landmark. Originally established in 1862 as Oak Tree Farm, the house represents the history of two prominent Bay Area families from the Gold Rush era. The three-story house is an example of Stick-Eastlake Victorian style architecture, with rooms remodeled in Craftsmen Style after the 1906 earthquake. Filled with original contents, furnishings, and decor, the house is a time capsule of the Cohen Bray family's life from 1884-1980s. As a volunteer-run organization, the Victorian Preservation Center of Oakland relies on donations and memberships to maintain and preserve the house and property. The institution offers private tours, teas, workshops, and school programs to engage visitors in the history and culture of the Cohen Bray House. The property also includes a 1/2 acre garden with native trees, fruit trees, vegetables, and ornamentals originally planted in 1884.
