Bishop and Company purchased 6.5 acres on the northeast corner of 8th Street and Alameda Street to erect a large industrial complex; according to a newspaper article in the Los Angeles Downtown News in 2008: "Bishop planned to construct a candy factory, a fruit processing building, a cracker processing building, a warehouse, a dining area for 200 and a stable. In all, Bishop said, it would be the largest cracker and candy manufacturing facility in the United States. Construction was expected to cost $1 million and take five years." (See Jay Berman and Sesar Carreno, "The Rise and Fall of A Candy Empire," Los Angeles Downtown News, 12/18/ 2008, p. 1,Accessed 06/11/2010.) Construction was completed on the first building in this complex in mid-1907.
