Carlton Center Building · Office Property For Lease · 24,212 SF

The Carlton Hotel was built in 1909 by Anton Huth to serve the travelers who would use the new, nearby Union Depot that was scheduled to be completed in 1911. It has since been converted to beautiful office space with historic charm. Situated on a lot between Jefferson Avenue, Broadway, Commerce, and 17th streets, the Carlton Center’s trapezoidal footprint reflects its location. The main facade faces east toward the station and is clearly visible from Pacific Avenue. The six-story building has a reinforced concrete frame faced in brick and stone, with interior timber framing. Bay windows on the building’s prominent southeast and southwest corners, east and west entrances defined by Corinthian columns, and a strong projecting cornice with dentils, brackets, and modillions all add a sense of grandeur to the structure.
