This is the Oakland Police Station before it was renovated - and made more fortress-like - as a precaution against future earthquakes.

This apprehension can be seen in recent trends in architecture and renovation. Older, more ornate buildings, such as Oakland's vintage theaters, are anarchonisms from the past.
