In December 1926, Sears, Roebuck, and Company of Chicago announced that it would build a 9-story, height-limit building on East 9th Street (later renamed Olympic Boulevard) at Soto in Boyle Heights section of Los Angeles. The building intended to serve as a mail order distribution center for the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast states, was constructed by Scofield Engineering Company. Architectural work was handled by George Nimmens Company. Thank you to the Water & Power Museum.
