Fillmore
Lemon Ass'n Lemon PH (Ref. 3)
Address: 348
A Street
The
packinghouse consists of the older building shown above (from the southwest) and a newer warehouse.
Only the warehouse seemed to be in use.
The
Fillmore
Lemon Ass'n
also had a box and
fertilizer warehouse south of the PH on the opposite side of the SP's
Santa Paula Branch. The
building has been demolished and the location is now filled
with houses.
For
additional views of this PH when it still had the canopy over
the loading doors, plus photos of
Bob Smaus' model, see the earlier Fillmore PH web page.

view is looking further east toward the SP Fillmore depot. On the near left
is Globe Feeds, a corrugated steel building. Beyond it is the packing
house. The
location is now occupied by an apartment house.

This
ex-PH is
on the National Register of Historic Buildings. The view above shows the east side.
The PH was photographed in June 1956 by Dallas Gilbertson. The view
below shows the west end and the familiar sawtooth or factory roof with
skylights facing north.

Gilbertson also photographed the south side of the packing house next to the SP's
Santa Paula Branch. In the photo below a PFE wood reefer is spotted at the southwest corner of the PH.

Blanchard's Packing House (David Coscia collection)
Address:
Palm & Main Streets
Nathan Blanchard's Orange and Lemon packing house was built around 1888 and was the first packing house in Santa Paula. It appears on a
Sanborn Fire Insurance map dated 1903 and was on successive maps
through 1929. It no longer appeared on the 1950 update of the 1929
map. The photo probably dates to around 1900. It's from a postcard and
was provided by David Coscia.

It's not a packing house but it's never-the-less an interesting old building. The view above is from the southwest.

Union Ice Company
(Ref.
3)
The
painting of the Union Ice Company is part of a mural
on the south side of the Venture County building (see below). The
building was just east of the SP Milling Co (see above). It has been
demolished but Dallas Gilbertson photographed the ice house in June 1956. His photo below is similar to the painted scene.

Another building that's been demolished was
the Santa Paula Walnut Ass'n PH (Ref.
3). It was located just west of the SP Milling Co.

The view above is from the southwest. Some American
Fruit Growers PHs packed
under the Blue Goose brand.
- We weren't
sure
this was an former PH when we
first saw it but a Sanborn map verified that it was. A Google
satellite image shows a partial-sawtooth roof behind the facade.

Reference
2 listed a Santa Paula Citrus Fruit Ass'n at 500 Santa Barbara St. but we couldn't find
it. Reference
3 shows that it was a very large, multi-building PH complex a little east of American Fruit Growers. A Google
satellite view shows that it has been demolished.
We did find the
Saticoy
Lemon Association - Plant #3
at 103 N. Peck Road (Ref. 1) but its
location made it difficult to photograph. It is
an active complex and we first
thought it was a modern PH but later discovered it had an older,
sawtooth-roof
building in the center. It was the Briggs
Lemon Ass'n in References 2 and 3.
