F.L. Blanc Warehouse. Built by F.L.Blanc, Parson, Carpenter, Lumberman to store apple box "shook" for drying. When box making failed to pay, he turned it into his first store selling lumber, paint and "A small stock of luxuries." It was used as a rental in the 30's and moved 90˚ on the lot in early 40's. The Julian Woman's Club purchased it in 1942 for $350. Alice Blanc, Myrtle Botts and Mildred Redding signed the loan note. Wall reinforcement was done before country allowed it's use as a club house. A kitchen and more meeting space were added later.
