Inscription. The original brick building was constructed in 1904 by the Sipple Brothers, merchants from Azusa. The lower floor was divided into four stores for groceries, dry goods, candy, and a soda fountain. The San Dimas Rooming House on the second floor had eight small apartments. In 1914, the San Dimas Post Office was re-located into the building and remained there until 1932. In 1998, the building was razed and replaced with a modern structure using similar architectural elements and faced with bricks from the original building. The city-owned 2nd floor provided apartment units for senior citizens.
