Description	View of the Overland Terminal Warehouse Co., which occupies the length of an entire city block at the northeast corner of 9th and Alameda streets, extending from Alameda to Lawrence Street. Construction work on the warehouse began in February 1931 by the J. V. McNeil Company (contractors) which hired 600 men, following the completion of plans by Samuel H. Dunford, designer and engineer. Just 51/2 short months later on Tuesday, August 25, 1931, the formal opening for the warehouse was held and was attended by dignitaries as well as the general public. The building, a reinforced concrete structure of six floors and full basement, covers an area of 120 x 600 feet, providing 433,000 square feet of floor space, almost the equivalent of ten acres. It is equipped with seven freight elevators: six used for freight, and one for passengers. The 100-foot frontage on Alameda Street is used for storefronts, display rooms, and offices; the 626-foot frontage on 9th Street can be used for the loading of 44 trucks at one time, and for the loading and unloading of 38 freight cars, with numerous tracks from the Union Pacific running into the building. The Overland Terminal Warehouse Company is a subsidiary of the Union Pacific System.
