Built in 1920 to expand the business, this warehouse was designed to have 150 workers on the second floor alone. Walking inside this building as it is today, one can see the remnants of that time in the timber supports in the basement and the solid wood stairs throughout. WESCO uses this building as their primary showroom for mush of their furniture supply. The picture from the old warehouse is actually hanging in the main store near their offices. The time period for the photo was either the 1920's or 1930's when the warehouse was in use for tobacco. Just ask the staff to view it and it's amazing how even though thing change, they in many ways, stay the same.
Year photo was taken: 1930
