The Freight House on Evans Street was built in 1931 for the Southern Pacific railroad.
The last picture shows the shoofly in front of the building. The structure was scheduled to be demolished as part of the train trench project but at the last minute a new plan was adopted
that saved the building and incorporated the site with the ballpark project.
