This large-windowed warehouse was built at the same time as Union Station, in 1911. It was designed by Carl August Darmer, the city’s foremost early architect. The building incorporated reinforced concrete on the side walls, an adventurous idea at the time, and a feature that distinguishes the building from most of its older brick and timber neighbors.
