Two story tan and red brick commercial building, originally owned by Antonio Laboroi. The second floor of this building was the Oakland Hotel during the 30’s and was reputed to be a brothel as well as a rooming house. The 1935 business records list the manager as Elizabeth Spigarelli. The downstairs was a 10¢ 15¢ 20¢ Variety Store operated by Harry Eda, a very popular Japanese gentleman. In addition to the usual “dime store” items, the store also featured oriental specialties such as incense. During the summers Eda also operated a small school in the basement of his business for the children of the Japanese workers in Helper and the surrounding coal camps. After the variety store, the building also housed Helper’s first state liquor store after prohibition. The downstairs portion is presently a business office with an apartment(s) upstairs. The lower front façade has been somewhat modified.

• mentioned in Liberty Wells Historic District:
  The Woodruff, Sears, and Dawes houses were exceptionally large and ostentatious for the Big Field area and are atypical examples of the average homes of the period, which were largely comprised of simpler structures. More common housing stock is represented by the 1898 brick and shingle central-block-with-projecting-bays residence at 1463 South Edison Street; the 1893 brick and shingle side-passage residence at 1455 South Edison Street; the 1892 cross-wing residence at 131 East Downington Avenue; and the 1898 brick foursquare residence at 350 East Wilson Avenue. While many duplexes are present in the district, only one contributing example of a Victorian duplex was identified. This single-story brick building, built in 1887, is located at 1618 South Park Street.
