Description

2925 Dohr Street carries a rich piece of South Berkeley history. Built by Charles and Agnes (“Sweetie”) Henderson, the great aunt and great uncle of the current owners, the property reflects a legacy of family, community, and care. Uncle Charles was a Pullman Porter, one of the most respected positions available to Black men in the 1940s and 1950s. The Hendersons purchased the lot, moved a home onto it, and later constructed 2925 Dohr Street as part of their vision for family housing. In the 1960s, the building was purchased by the current owners’ parents, who continued that tradition by renting to relatives and members of their extended community. The neighborhood was home to at least five of their mother’s relatives who had moved to the Bay Area from Oklahoma, forming a close-knit network that shaped the block for generations. For decades, the family intentionally kept the rent rates low as their way of giving back to the community. Now, for the first time in decades, this beloved property is ready for its next stewards.
