Description
Located at the corner of K (Van Ness) and Mariposa streets, Fresno, built in 1889 by S.N. Griffith and R.B. Johnson. A three-story Victorian architectural style with brick and plaster construction with corner towers. Initially the building had offices on its first and second floors, with a boarding house on the third floor. Many of Fresno's most prominent attorneys had their offices in the building, due to its proximity to the county courthouse. Eventually its two upper floors were removed, and the entire structure was demolished ca. 1962.
