Need some history help
1/8/2017 at 8:41 PM

So everyday I drive past that brown building on the corner of pacific and 18th! A few floors up and all the windows boarded in looks like ! I've seen pics of it in history pics , but I've always wondered what it was back in it's glory days ! Also I've heard of Brandon having a beach back in the day ! Anyone know where this was also ? Thank you

The big building at the corner of 18th and Pacific used to be the International Harvester farm equipment building.

The windows where bricked in by Macy's duck farm when they processed ducks there, the building was refrigerated storage, and it was a warehouse for Kullbergs furniture maybe still is.
