Built in 1913 as the warehouse for the Tobacco Company of California. Since tobacco is native to the Americas, Europeans would use motifs of Native Americans to symbolize something was tobacco related. In this case, there are medallions all around the top of the first floor of a Native American in headdress. This definitely would not be accepted today, but for the time, it was. It is also interesting that, although the medallions are in cast bronze, the white paint makes them look like plaster. Today this building is condos and offices. Along the 2nd Street side of the building, the old railroad track are still visible. As seen 30 April 2024.
