Description
Resting at 912 and 914 Fifth Street is the former Van Voorhies-Phinney horse collar factory, pictured in 1960. It was built in 1909/10, producing award-winning collars at the California State Fair. The building stood well into the 1960s, and was even tabbed for conversion into a Victorian-era restaurant by the Cope brothers, Lawrence, Carl and Newton. They deferred, however, to the Chinese Family Associations in their desire to develop a new Chinatown. To the far right of the frame is a Shell gas station at 900 Fifth Street.
