Odd Fellows Building Closer to Completion

Most of the exterior work has been done on the space that three businesses will soon fill.

Curious glances have been commonplace in front of the former Odd Fellows building at the corner of E. Campbell Avenue and First Street.

The building at 276 E. Campbell Ave. has transformed over the last 18 months since Imwalle Properties began turning the former Independent Order of Odd Fellows Morning Light Lodge #42 into a mixed-use building where spots of 5,000-, 3,000- and 2,00-square-feet will soon house downtown Campbell's newest tenants.

The construction project is taking an existing 5,400-square-foot building and adding a second 4,971-square-foot building, raising the total building square footage to 10,371, according to Campbell Planning Department documents.

Construction began November 2011 and has been "better than expected," said Cameron Peach, Acting Project Manager partner at South Bay Construction.

"We've been very fortunate for having a lot of dry weather," Peach said. "It's come together pretty quick. There's a lot of effort that goes into it. It should be a pretty nice looking building."

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
