7. Narrative Description:
This building first appears in the 1964 Sanborn Map and is labeled warehouse/garage so that conforms
with the 1963 building date. The 1958 date could be hearsay relative to an entry for the property to the
south but the building needs to be measured. There is an interior southeast corner office (nine by 12
feet). Assessor also notes that there are two 37-feet long steel beams set on four pilasters, rafters are
two inch by eight inch dimension, placed 16 inches on center, there are 11 steel sash windows, a toilet
room and the office (says seven feet by 12 feet)
