Lawrence Warehouse - Sacramento, CA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Lawrence/CADA Warehouse building is one of the earliest reinforced concrete buildings in Sacramento. When completed in 1915, it was widely celebrated as one of Sacramento's first "fireproof" buildings. The six-story (with basement) industrial type building was designed by one of northern California’s notable early twentieth century architects, Clarence Cuff. The former warehouse building occupies the entire parcel on the south side of R Street between 11th and 12th Streets, adjacent to railroad tracks. Its form is that of a concrete cube-like block with multiple steel framed windows on the north and south elevations. The east and west elevation walls were originally infilled with clay tile which has been removed during current rehabilitation and is being replaced with metal framing. The east and west walls will be replaced with solid concrete walls surfaced with cement plaster and multiple windows evoking the image of those on the north and south elevations." (visit link)
