Cultural Heritage Survey flies reveal the distinctive masonry tower was built tn 1927-28 by the locally prominent Arm Reed and Corlett for Mutual Stores, a dairy business founded In 1917 by Denmark immigrant Emil Hagstrom.

Hagstrom came to the United States In 1903. He spent time in Michigan and Nebraska learning the dairy business before moving to Oakland to open his first small creamery outlet. The flies say he reportedly pawned his gold watch for $75 to open the store; hoping that tomers would be willing to save money by purchasing products on a "cash and carry" basis rather than relying on traditional home delivery. He called his business "Mutual Stores" to reflect the mutual benefit to his customers and his suppliers. Within six years there were 22 stores, then 100 on both sides of the Bay carrying a variety of grocery items.

Hagstrom decided to build his elaborate headquarters building with Its ornamental tower on E. 14th Street (now International Boulevard), where It could be seen In all directions. It was even illuminated at night. Some 20,000 people were on hand to attend the opening celebration. Safeway acquired the business in the early 1930s and occupied the headquarters Into the 1980s.
