This building is part of the old packing house where the dried dates were packaged and shipped to the retailers. It has now been divided into individual condominiums.
The small photo shows the row of arched entrances along the building. You can also see the lovely courtyard that exists in the center of the compound. (You might have to click on the photo to see the detail)
Doing a little research, I was able to find this photo of one of the original labels for the packaged dates.
Wow. I am surprised this cool building has not already been converted into a home or into apartments. Nice that you got one of the labels too.
ReplyDeleteYour photo makes the area look very appealing.
ReplyDeleteHi Abe, This building is converted. In fact, all the old buildings are now condos.
ReplyDeleteI enlarged it, it's a lovely place!
ReplyDeleteThere's a cat guarding it!
ReplyDeleteThe label is a nice touch.
Beautiful structures and landscaping.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this place. But being a REALTOR, I decided to see if there were any for sale. One and you can learn more about it here -http://www.flexmls.com/link.html?orapxn2tjhl,12,1
