THE WHITTIER PACKING HOUSE
The Whittier Citrus Association packing house is located at the corner of Penn Street and Whittier Boulevard. It is the last remnant of the once-flourishing citrus industry in Whittier. Built in 1902 and enlarged in 1904 it became one of the largest packing plants in the State of California and included a main packing house, lemon curing plant and an office building. By 1906 650 carloads of oranges and 250 carloads of lemons were shipped annually by rail. The development of the Whittier Citrus Association and packing house was one of the main economic bases of the area for many years. Now called the Whittier Packing House since 2021. The main structure is now occupied by King Richard's Antique Mall .
KING RICHARD'S ANTIQUE CENTER
The largest antique mall in California. It’s housed in a building that is over 120 years old and is one of the last links to Whittier’s citrus industry.
