Historical or Biographical Note
The building was designed by architect William S. Mooser, Jr. and built between 1907-1909 for the California Fruit Canners
Association. In 1916, the company merged with three other canners to form the California Packing Company, with foods baring
the Del Monte label. From 1937-1948, the building served as storage space for the company's goods until it was purchased in
1948 by the Haslett Warehouse Company. The State of California purchased the building in 1963. It was placed on the National
Register of Historic Places in 1975, and in 1978 it was acquired by the National Park Service. The building currently houses
a hotel and the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Visitor Center.
