An Interesting Piece of History

Jan 2020

The cabin is located at Jack London Square, a popular destination of locals and out of town guests visiting Oakland. It is an interesting piece of history of Oakland's native Jack London. The place is conveniently located and accessible by a free shuttle bus service that runs through downtown Oakland.

Tiny log cabin in Jack London area

May 2019 • Couples

We visit Jack London square every year and are amazed at how tiny a cabin this is. A statute of White Fang is in front of the area

I love Jack London, but his cabin is ?

Jan 2016 • Family

First, I adore Jack London's writing, but the cabin just makes me sad. It is small, dark, and depressing. Still I think it is probably an important historical artifact.

piece of history at you feet

Feb 2019 • Friends

Jack London's cabin was moved to its' present location some time ago, close to a bar which has been there about 1,000 years, tobacco smoke stains on ceiling! Nice day trip, Jack London was a local guy who got into writing, read several of his books, worthwhile to check out..

Jack London Cabin

Oct 2014 • Friends

This small historic cabin has been relocated from its original site to Jack London Square. It is interesting to see while walking about Jack London Square. It isn't open to enter, but can look through the windows and read the information available. I wouldn't say its a destination, but to be seen while at the square. It is next to the many restaurants there and the First & Last Chance Saloon, which is a bar previously frequented by the many characters that made Oakland famous (infamous).

Seriously sad

Oct 2012 • Couples

It's interesting I guess but it sits on this concrete area with a big iron mess door. It looks like it would fall down any minute. There is a very good wolf casting and a nice fountain right there.
Looks like another of the Port's good ideas gone nowhere.

A Quick Look

Dec 2020

While doing a power walk around the Square area, I took a quick look at this classic historic site, important because the whole area is about Jack London.

Nothing Special

Dec 2018 • Family

A cabin, moved there from Alaska, that Jack London lived in. Possibly, one of two or three things of interest in Jack London Square. Don't make a special trip for it, however.

If you are already there, take a look.

Aug 2018 • Couples

Unless you are a real Jack London fan, or already in Jack London Square, this is not likely worth a special trip there. A small prospectors cabin was brought from Alaska and rebuilt here. You can peek inside. Not a lot to see.
