Elephant Packing House, Historic citrus packing facility in Fullerton, US.

The Elephant Packing House is a 165-by-70-foot, one-story building with a full basement, built in the Mission Revival style with Spanish Colonial Revival elements. Its interior is lit by two sawtooth roof monitors, and its north side faces the former Union Pacific tracks.

The Elephant Packing House was built in 1924 by the Union Pacific Railway beside its own station, and first shipped oranges under the Elephant label. Grower C.C. Chapman later leased it to pack his Old Mission brand. Union Pacific sold the building in 1960, and it was expanded in 1971.

The name comes from the "Elephant" shipping label under which the packing house first sent out Valencia oranges in 1924, not from any orchard. Grower C.C. Chapman later leased the building to pack his Old Mission brand fruit, so the site records how labels, not groves, named the county's citrus trade.

The facility stands on West Truslow Avenue near the former railroad corridor in Fullerton. Check local guidelines before visiting, as historic sites like this may have limited public access or require prior arrangement.

The Union Pacific built the packing house in 1924 beside its own railway station, a Mission Revival structure from 1923. That station was later moved to the Fullerton Transportation Center, where it stands next to the 1930 Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe station. All three buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places.
