Title

San Joaquin Power Office Building, Fresno, Calif.

Description

San Joaquin Light and Power Building, located at 1947 Tuolumne Street (northwest corner of Fulton and Tuolumne streets), Fresno, circa 1930. In the building’s earlier years, it was often dramatically illuminated at night; the image depicts one of these occasions. Richard F. Felchlin (1888-1960) of Fresno designed the building in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, and his company constructed it. The building housed the offices of the San Joaquin Light and Power Corporation (1895-1930), which supplied power to seven San Joaquin Valley counties and the California mid-coast. The company later merged with Great Western Power, and the combined enterprise was absorbed by Pacific Gas and Electric in 1939.
