Erected - 1887

— 114 West First Street —

The PICO block was completed about 1887 for Henry B. Plant, President of the Plant Investment Company (PICO) and served as the company offices. The remains of a carriageway may be seen on the west side along Oak Avenue which was originally Railroad Way. The second floor was converted to apartments in 1920 and the building renamed the Welaka Apartments.

The floor plan is ell shaped and the building is constructed of brick with a partial stucco finish. The roof is flat with a parapet. The windows were arched and exterior ornamentation includes a plain cornice and a stringcourse. The ground floor has been altered less than the upper floor and many of the original features are still evident.

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places - 1976
