Santa Cruz Yard Has Handsome New Building

Above is shown a picture of the new office and rvarehouse building of Hebbron Lumber Company, Santa Cruz, Calif. It is one of the best looking lumber yard offices in the State and it will be well worth any lumberman's while to go and see it when visiting Santa Cruz.

The walls of the building are of Ginch concrete to comply with fire regulations. Redwood Rustic is used on the outside. The main office is 32 feet wide and 27 f.eet deep. Effective use has been made on the inside walls of lxl2 moulded edge Redwood paneling, applied vertically on the upper part of the walls and horizontally on the lower part. The vertical paneling is finished with driftwood grey stain.

The private office is finished in natural Redwood. Ceilings of both offices are of Certain-teed insulating board. The floors of the offices and warehouse are of concrete and the office floors are covered with Johns-Manville green floor tile. A fireproof Bx12 concrete vault has been built to take care of the books and office records.

A remarkable feature of the main office is the counter, made from a single piece,27 inches wide and 32 feet long.

The warehouse at the rear is 24x6O feet. This houses stocks of sash, doors, panels and veneer. One room just off the office displays the stock of builders' hardrvare and paints. This yard specializes in Martin-Senour paints. Certain-teed roofing is carried.

Certain-teed l5-inch, thick butt shingles were used on the front part of the roof, and Dri-Lap corrugated sheets on the back.

All of the Redwood used in the building was supplied by Monterey Bay Redwood Company. The nerv building replaces the temporary structure which was used as an office since the former office building was destroyed in an incendiary fire about three years ago.

The yard is well arranged for the convenience of customers. It is all hard surfaced and has two driveways. About 65 per cent of the lnmber sales are of Redwood.

Lloyd M. Hebbron is president of Hebbron Lumber Company. He is well known and liked both locally and throughout Northern California lumber circles. He is naturally a great booster for Santa Cruz, which is growing in importance as a summer and tourist resort.
