Overview

This small, load-bearing masonry office building was an outstanding example of the Gothic Revival Style in Stockton, CA, and was one of the first four buildings included on the City of Stockton's Historic Landmarks list on 06/01/1971.It served as the administration building for the Sperry Flour Company's extensive milling operations in Stockton; by 1900, it stood as CA's largest miller.

The administration building stood at the heart of an ensemble of Sperry production and storage buildings. Across the street, the Sperry Flour Mill stood (demolished in 1970) and nearby on West Weber Avenue was the company's warehouse. The building had a 40-foot frontage on West Weber and a 100-foot depth on North Madison Street.
