James Treadwell was one of three brothers originally from New Brunswick, Canada who struck gold In Alaska In the 1880s. The Treadwell gold mines soon became among die tidiest gold producers In the world.

Hie brothers sold their Interest at geal profit and turned their attention to southern Alameda County, where they Invested In a coal mine, budding a railroad line to transport 500 tons a day. The layers of day and aand surrounding the cod gave rise to additional Industries. The clay layer produced 43 different kinds of clay used to create porcelain and mrthen-ware. Combined with the sand, it yielded 80,000 bricks per day. These factories were called the Carnegie Brick and Pottery Company.

The Treadwells used the bricks to lay out paths and walkways on the property they had acquired north of Oakland on Broadway. Bricks on campus with the Carnegie stamp are still visible. The Treadwells used their considerable fortune to make the North property a show place.

Financial reverses began to plague the Treadwells fw- -lowing the earthquake and after James' death some years later, the family was forced to sell.
