Inscription. J. McCaw Wood and Coal Yard is the earliest known business to occupy the north side of R Street from 10th to 11th Streets. In 1917, the Sacramento Junk Company constructed a brick warehouse, occupying it until 1925 when W.P. Fuller Paint and Glass moved into the structure.

In 1962, Fred David purchased the building for the David Candy Company, a wholesale distribution business. Mr. David also leased his space to a variety of artists and small retail businesses, including the Fox and Goose Public House, which opened in 1975. It quickly became a popular Sacramento restaurant destination, especially for politicians. Such eclectic retail and restaurant businesses provided a new vision for the R Street Corridor.

Erected 2011 by City of Sacramento, Capitol Area Development Authority.
