 The Trabucco Warehouse

The Death of a Building in Mariposa.
After the south wall gave way during the early morning hours the
day before, the following day the demolition crew arrived putting an
end to the Trabucco Warehouse and taking a piece of
Mariposa's heart with it.

The Trabucco Building was built in 1858.It was purchased by John Trabucco in the very early 1900's as a warehouse for products for his main store.
It was one of only a few buildings to survive a huge fire in 1866.
