Scope and content
Unique facade of the Royal Pacific Apartments. What appear to be jagged pieces of rock make an eye-catching appearance at the Royal Pacific Apartments, 7825 Pacific Avenue, in April, 1964. The rock columns appear to support the irregular roofline. The Royal Pacific was built in 1962 by J.O.B. Construction Co. On May 3, 1964, owners Robert Strobel and H. Roy Farrington had a grand opening of their 14-unit addition. The apartments had two entrances, one at 7825 Pacific Avenue and the other at 7820 A St. The above picture may have been the entrance at 7820 A St. Photograph ordered by Preston, Strobel & Farrington.
