Opened in January of 1941. From architect Epstein Global's website: This facility, located at 501 N. Sacramento Boulevard and occupying an entire block between Franklin Boulevard and Chicago Avenue, featured a dramatic Art Deco tower clad in stone at the northeast corner of Franklin and Sacramento. The office entrance was located in a one-story streamlined Art Moderne structure featuring red brick and stone façade which was located at the north end of the building. The distribution portion of the building featured wood roof truss construction with dramatic skylights providing amble natural light to the space as well as internal rail docks allowing for distribution of goods via trains.
