Historical Name: â€œUnion Transfer and Storage Buildingâ€.

The initial section of the structure, built from long leaf virgin red pine, was constructed in the very early 20th century. The building was expanded about five years later utilizing poured in place concrete.

The structure is architecturally interesting because it exhibits notable changes in building methods: it was one of the last buildings in this area to be supported by heavy timbers and was one of the first to be constructed of poured concrete.

The building was also one of the first in the area to be â€œfire proofedâ€, in other words the building was one of the first fire sprinkled buildings. The water for the system originally came from a water tower, which is still on the property. In 1998, the building came under the ownership of Fletcher Thorne-Thomsen who orchestrated the buildingâ€™s rehabilitation into a center for commercial tenants, arts organizations, artists and designers. In early 2001, The National Park Service listed the property on the National Register of Historic Places.
