Description
Built close to the tracks and several packing houses, this onestory
office building is a good example of Art Deco styling.
Most characteristics are the pylon-like piers that divide the
stuccoed exterior into bays: raised, reeded, and curving in to
meet the wall of the building. Metal casement windows are
recessed between the piers in the central and end bays while
double, wood-frame, glazed doors occupy the penultimate bays.
Vents punctuate the tops of the bays. A flat roof with no
cornice caps the building. No major alterations were observed.
This building is notable for its architectural style, for its
integrity, and for its association with the citrus industry. On
the bases of its design it is estimated to have been built around
1935, perhaps by the same architect as 217 East A if certain
similarities are any clue. Currently it houses the Upland Lemon
Company, a Dole subsidiary. It was built as the third and final
stage of the expansion of the Upland Lemon Growers Association
plant. Erected at a cost of $10,000, the building housed the
association's offices.
