I. Magnin Building, Art Deco building in Uptown Oakland, United States

The I. Magnin Building is an eight-story Art Deco structure in Uptown Oakland featuring a distinctive green terra-cotta exterior with ornamental detailing. It now houses multiple retail businesses and office spaces that are nearly fully occupied.

The building opened in 1931 as a high-end department store designed by architects Weeks and Day. It operated until 1995 when the store closed, leading eventually to renovation and conversion into mixed-use space.

In 2016, Athen B Gallery arranged for Jet Martinez to paint the windowless rear wall of the building. He covered it with lilies inspired by Mexican folk art. The mural is on the back side, away from the Broadway facade.

The building occupies the corner of Broadway and 20th Street at 2001 Broadway in Uptown. The mural by Jet Martinez covers the windowless rear wall, so the artwork is seen from the back side rather than the main facade. Ground-floor retail and upper office floors are in use, with occupancy above 92% as of 2013.

The facade is clad in green terra-cotta, not stone, a glazed ceramic finish that gave the 1931 store its colour and still holds it. The rear wall, left windowless, carries a mural of lilies that Jet Martinez painted in 2016 for Athen B Gallery, drawing on Mexican folk art.
