In 1985, this warehouse was renamed "The Egghouse" after the building's first use as an egg distribution center for Poultry Producers of Central California. Poultry Producers originated the Nulaid brand name, a brand employed today to market egg products ranging from fresh eggs to extended shelf-life liquid whole eggs. Renamed Nulaid Foods, Inc. in 1963, the company is California's largest and oldest egg products company. This reinforced concrete warehouse, embellished with Art Deco details, contributes to the District by its association with a major wholesale food business. Since 1985 the building has contained six artist studios, two with attached living quarters.
