The Vittorio Alfieri Club was the first Italian-American Men's Club west of the Mississippi. The building still exists on 42nd St in the Longfellow neighborhood of North Oakland, and is being restored by the new owner, a contractor with a fondness for Oakland heritage. The building across the street was the living quarters of some Italians who worked at the Bilger Quarry and were members of the Club.
