Jackson, a 24-year-old member of the church congregation, who was at the time, the first and only woman to graduate from the Wilmerding School of Industrial Arts in San Francisco. The gym, which now houses units 1, 2, and 3, was once the training space of legendary Shaolin-style Kung Fu martial artist Wong Jack Man, famous for the infamous fight against Bruce Lee in 1964. Brent Hamby, a local resident, was a student of Wong Jack Man’s and until the renovation, still taught martial arts in the gym building. This historic building has been completely renovated up to the high standards of California’s Green Building Code, otherwise known as Title 24. The building therefore utilizes higher grade insulation to prevent energy loss, new dual pane windows, LED lighting, new HVAC, and all new plumbing and wiring. Additionally, the solar panels, secured bike parking, EV Chargers, and water conservation measures make this a unique historic building that employs modern sustainability features.
