The 160 foot high Moorish tower concealed a 12,500 gallon water tank. The Pacific Coast Warehouse District leased the building in 1951 operating it though the 1980s and added two additional warehouses. This warehouse has been replaced with a tilt-up concrete building. Central Manufacturing District is an industrial tract of approximately 2800 acres, partly located within the cities of Commerce, Bell, and Vernon. In 1923, the tract comprised 300 acres of the old Rancho San Antonio, one of the original Spanish land grants.
