Photograph of an exterior view of the Glendora Lemon Growers Association packing house, February 27, 1931. Tall trees stand guard in the small, grass yard in front of the packing plant obstructing the view of the building. Small, arched windows with closed shutters can be seen in the front wall on the right with the large "Sunkist" sign next to the porch-covered entrance on the far left. A sign which reads "Glendora Lemon Growers Ass'n." hangs above the entrance while boxed plants sit in a row in front of the porch. What appears to be a shipping car stands against the side of the plant on the far right.
