Inscription. The West Coast's largest and oldest paint company built the District's first warehouse. W. P. Fuller Paint Company used the warehouse to distribute paint and window glass throughout the western United States. Although the company has been sold many times over the years, the Fuller paint brand endures today. East Bay Tire Co. was a later warehouse occupant. Although no longer a District contributor because of a 1997 rooftop addition, the W. P. Fuller warehouse anchors the District's southwest boundary and its 1914 construction begins the District's period of significance.
