There is not too much known history about this building, except that the warehouse was home to Carpenter Paper Co. The warehouse sports two lines of ghost signs. The top line reads "CARPENTER PAPER", followed by the logo. The line also consists of older signs underneath the black words. The bottom line reads "WHOLESALE PAPER". The warehouse was built in 1918, according to the Polk County Assessor's website.
