Approximate location.
The first known commercial structure on the shore of San Pedro Bay was built here in 1823 by the trading firm of McCulloch and Hartnell to store cattle hides from the San Gabriel and San Fernando missions. Richard Henry Dana described this adobe hide house in Two Years Before the Mast.
H.H. Burton, in his 1904 survey of the San Pedro Government Reservation, described it as "ruins of adobe buildings" on a 1905 map of the area. Legal wrangling over this private patch of land within the reservation held up development of the future Fort MacArthur until 1922.
