Landmark 92
Pelican Paper Company
915 Front Street At Vallejo Street
North Waterfront
Built 1855

The two brick warehouses at the corner of Front and Vallejo Streets were probably built by Daniel Gibb in 1855. They are among the very few Gold Rush buildings which survived the 1906 Earthquake and Fire.

The warehouse at 915 Front Street (Formerly 901 Front Street) is known as the Gibb-Sanborn Warehouse North and also as the Pelican Paper Company. The warehouse across Vallejo Street is known as the Gibb-Sanborn Warehouse South, the Daniel Gibb Company Warehouse and the Trinidad Bean and Elevator Company.

The top photograph shows just the Pelican Paper Company building. The bottom photograph shows Pelican in the foreground and Trinidad in the background across Vallejo Street. The Transamerica Pyramid and former Bank of America buildings are visible in the distance behind Trinidad.
