RUSH WAREHOUSE HISTORY, our current location.
Built in 1920, this building originally housed a feed and seed warehouse. In 1927, Pocatello Coal Company occupied the building. In 1929, the owners were Pocatello Bonded Warehouse, and from 1930-1942, Rush Transfer and Storage used the building. Recently it has been used as a commercial kitchen supply, hot tub supply and a home decor businesses.
FUTURE
The City of Pocatello's Terry First Project long term vision of the Warehouse District appears to become an art district with a walking / biking path link between Idaho State University and Historic Downtown Pocatello and a zoning change from Light Industrial to also include Mixed-Use. Only time will tell if art and culture or industry and economy needs to be revived along the UPRR track back to passenger or low volume industrial spurs which historically disappeared after the highway system and trucking was born in the 1930's. Originally the building was supplied by a railroad spur in the alley of the building, freight cars were unloaded, warehoused and then onto trucks at the side dock or front of the building for local or regional delivery; explaining the 4 foot elevation above street level of most warehouse buildings.
REGION:
Called the "Gate City" due to the South to North "Portneuf Gap" as a major UPRR railroad route and also a northern access point to get to Fort Hall as part of the East to West Oregon Trail Pioneers.
