Sir Steve --
Only a partially correct answer on your part... But don't feel bad.. Ok ??

Your first sentence read:
"I believe these were from the East Bay Electric Lines, the Seventh Street Line".

Yes and No.. Round steel poles with flat tops were used for catenary support poles along city streets and "city" private row's... The "lattice poles" in photo (Erector set piece) were erected by OA&B Line Crews on at least ONE side of the RR row to "assist" in supporting the catenary. I've never seen them on opposite sides from each other.
You'll still see these "lattice" poles from Melrose to West Oakland (here and there), as well as out around Shellmound and vicinity..

Did you have an answer for the "concrete building" in the original photo in your post ??

Thanks.

KRK
