Significance: The building is one of two major packing houses constructed in response to the rapid expansion of the Escondido Valley citrus industry. It was designed by W.W. Ache, a prominent designer of fruit packing plants and built by the Escondido Orange Association in 1934. When originally constructed, the building was touted as being the most up-to-date in the California citrus packing industry and as having the widest Arch-Rib trussless roof ever installed.
