Historic warehouse building. It was built in 1912 as a merchandise warehouse for Sears. The building features Late Gothic Revival and Chicago school style design elements. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

********************************************

Sears didn't occupy this plant for long.
Most of the building was used during World War I as soldiers' barracks and military equipment storage.

Sears moved out of the building in 1925 when the company built a new plant across town.
Other smaller businesses continued to occupy the building over the years until 1999,
when it was renovated and reopened as loft apartments.
