C. O. Baughman and Clarence Russi constructed this stone building with its red tile roof in 1923 for the Sterling Oil Spray Company. It was a manufacturing and distribution facility of insecticides and fertilizer used by the Citrus Industry. The buildings exceptionaly thick stone walls calls up memories of the rocky soil the early citrus growers had to deal with. Sterling moved out by the early 1930s and the building began a decades long run as home to various auto repair and/or sales businesses. It has been a florist shop since the late 1980s.
