Hibbard & Company Department Store
While it now houses a Chipotle restaurant and offices, this building at 17 S. Tejon St. was the last of the downtown department stores.
Established in 1892, Hibbard & Company replaced its original building with this four-story structure in 1914. The department store ended its 104-year run in 1996.
The department store featured wooden floors, bright display cases, a hand-operated elevator, and pneumatic tubes for sending money to a central cashier upstairs.
