The Calpak Plant No. 11 in Sacramento, California, is a building built in 1925. Calpak (later renamed "Del Monte Foods") constructed the building as a fruit cannery but it is now used by Blue Diamond Almonds[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
History
The plant was designed by Calpak's Engineering Department Chief, Philip Bush.[1] When it was built, it was one of the largest fruit canneries in the world.[1] The plant contained 250,000 square feet and had a 100,000 square foot warehouse area.[1] At its peak, the plant employed 2,500 workers, who were mostly women.[3] By the time Plant No. 11 had opened, Calpak had also become the largest packing and canning company in the world.[1] The plant packed peaches, pears, tomatoes, pumpkin, squash, spinach, carrots and beets.[1]
Calpak had four Del Monte canneries located in Sacramento and only Calpak Plant No. 11 survives.[4] Blue Diamond Growers purchased the plant from the California Packing Company in 1982.[4]
