Great Pacific Coffee Co. built from 1904 Worlds Fair Artifacts.
In
1908,
Lawrence
P.
McHugh
and James J. Dailey
constructed the
McHugh and Dailey Mercantile building as the anchor of
their growing
mercantile business; it was Pacific's largest building
and was
constructed from eleven railroad cars of bricks, lumber and ornate
materials dismantled from the 1904 World's Fair.
Now
this
100
year
old
building begins
a new life in a new century as
an
anchor
for
the
revitalization of Old
Town Pacific and now the home
of
the
Great
Pacific
Coffee Company under
the proprietorship
of
Lawrence P. McHugh's great grandson, David
McHugh.
Renovation of the First Floor
In
2003,
David
McHugh
began
the
renovation of the
first floor of the McHugh Dailey Mercantile. Improvements to the space
included new electric, plumbing and restoration of the original tin
ceiling. Skilled craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail are
hallmarks of the Great Pacific Coffee Company.
