Feraud General Merchandise Store

Feraud General Merchandise Store, also known as 1903 Building, was built in 1903 in Ventura, California. Jules Feraud opened the Feraud Bakery and Grocery Store and the bakery stayed in the family until 1944. The brick building is a rare intact example of turn-of-the-century commercial architecture during Second Land Boom (1887 – 1905) after the tracks of the Southern Pacific Railroad arrived in Ventura. The City Council of Ventura designated the building Historic Landmark Number 35 by resolution on July 17, 1978. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Location and notable uses The building was originally occupied by a general merchandise store and bakery operated by Jules Feraud, an immigrant from France. Feraud moved to Ventura in 1875, became a partner in the Ventura Bakery on Main Street, and eventually bought out his partner. By 1890, Feraud had moved his bakery, which by then also included a grocery store and saloon, to a wood-frame structure on the southwest corner of Main Street and Ventura Avenue. In 1903, Feraud built a new and larger brick structure on the site. In the new building, Feraud operated a grocery, bakery, feed and hay warehouse. In later years, Feraud was assisted in operating the business by his sons, Anselmo, Frank, Charles, Ernest, and Anthony. Jules retired in 1927 and died in 1929 at age 78. Frank Feraud continued operating the store until at least 1941. From the mid-1940s until 1970, the building was operated as an automotive center. The primary address is 2 W. Main Street where a bar currently operates. 12 W. Main Street became a barbershop in the mid-1940s where Phillip E. Marquez "Phil the Barber" operated for 63 years. Phil the Barber retired in 2010 at the age of 96 and died on February 15, 2011. His family was among the original settlers of what was known as "Tortilla Flats" and he was considered a local icon cutting hair for generations of Venturans on the West Side. The Mayor Of Ventura declared June 5, 2011 "Phil Marquez Day" The Store currently operates as Artisan Soap and Bath store, but has photos of Phil donated by the Marquez Family on Display. There are also two addresses, 25 and 35 south Ventura Avenue, along the side of the building. The building now houses Paddy's Bar and Lounge. Historical context The Mission San Buenaventura is about two blocks east of the building as the early commercial district was centered around the mission including the extant Arcade Building, 38-50 west Main Street, that is just west of the Feraud building. These buildings are just outside the Mission Historic District that lies on the other side of Ventura Avenue to the east.

Ferguson (Unternehmen)

Ferguson plc (ehemals: Wolseley plc) ist ein britisches Unternehmen mit rechtlichem Sitz in Saint Helier auf Jersey und operativer Hauptzentrale in Zug in der Schweiz. Es bietet Baumaterialien verschiedener Art weltweit an, insbesondere Klempnerei- und Heizungsbaubedarf. Geschichte Die Wolseley Sheep Sheering Machine Company Ltd. wurde von dem Iren Frederick York Wolseley in Sydney, Australien, 1887 gegründet. Es war das erste Unternehmen, das eine mechanische Schafschermaschine herstellte. 1889 überließ Wolseley die Patente einem neuen Unternehmen, das in London seinen Firmensitz hatte. Der künftige Fahrzeughersteller Herbert Austin schloss sich dem Unternehmen 1888 in Australien an; er verließ Australien gemeinsam mit Frederick York Wolseley im November 1893 und baute in der Broad Street, Birmingham, England, ein Werk auf. Austin hatte bedeutenden Einfluss auf das Unternehmen, als Wolseley 1894 im Unternehmen aufhörte. Austin baute ein größeres Werk in Aston, Birmingham, und begann mit der Fabrikation von Fahrrädern. 1896 entwarf Austin das erste Wolseley-Automobil, und man begann mit der Herstellung von Automodellen. 1901 wurde der Pkw-Bereich „Wolseley Tool & Motor Car Company Limited“ von Vickers gekauft. Austin verließ darauf das Unternehmen 1905 und gründete sein eigenes Unternehmen in Longbridge. 1926 wurde die Wolseley Motor Car Company an William Morris, 1. Viscount Nuffield verkauft (siehe weiteren Firmenverlauf im Artikel: Wolseley Motor Company). Herbert Austin war zwischenzeitlich wieder zur Wolseley Sheep Shearing Machine Company Ltd. zurückgekehrt. Das Unternehmen produzierte weiterhin Schafschermaschinen und anderes landwirtschaftliches Gerät. In den 1950er Jahren produzierte das Unternehmen verschiedene landwirtschaftliche Fahrzeuge. 1958 fusionierte das Unternehmen mit dem Unternehmen Geo H. Hughes, das Reifen herstellte. Das Unternehmen wurde in Wolseley-Hughes umbenannt. In den 1960er Jahren kaufte Wolsely-Hughes das Unternehmen Nu-Way Heating Limited, wodurch das Unternehmen begann, sich in einen Hersteller von Heizungsbau für Gebäude umzuwandeln. Diese Produktsparte entwickelte sich zum Tochterunternehmen OBC. 1965 erwarb Wolseley die Unternehmen Granville Controls und Yorkshire Heating Supplies und erweiterte hierdurch das Angebot von OBC. 1982 gelang mit dem Erwerb des Unternehmens Ferguson Enterprises, einem Distributor an der Ostküste der Vereinigten Staaten. 1992 erwarb Wolseley das französische Unternehmen Brossette und 2003 die Schweizer Tobler Haustechnik. Der Sitz der Gesellschaft wurde im November 2010 aus steuerlichen Gründen von Theale bei Reading nach Saint Helier auf Jersey sowie die operative Hauptzentrale nach Zug in der Schweiz verlegt. Im Jahr 2017 wurde der Firmenname in Ferguson plc geändert. Quellen Wolseley plc History Einzelnachweise

Ferryboat Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa was a Steel Electric-class ferry built in Alameda, California, for Northwestern Pacific Railroad. She started out serving Southern Pacific Railways on their Golden Gate Ferries line on San Francisco Bay. She was purchased by the Puget Sound Navigation Company in 1940, and moved to Puget Sound. Puget Sound Navigation Company, believing that a single ended ferry would be more economical and faster, replaced her engines and converted her to a single-ended ferry, effectively making her no longer a true Steel Electric-class ferry. She was also renamed MV Enetai, which is the name she kept when she was later acquired by Washington State Ferries who took over operations in 1951. The ferry was returned to San Francisco after her sale in 1968, but sat largely unused until purchased by Hornblower Cruises in 1989. Hornblower restored her aft wheelhouse in an attempt to make her look like her original profile from 1927, however the passenger cabin retained the remodeled outline from her 1941 single-end conversion. She is currently moored at Pier 3 in San Francisco, where she serves as office space for Hornblower's Northern California Operations and also as Corporate Headquarters for Hornblower's suite of companies which include: Hornblower Cruises & Events Alcatraz Cruises Statue Cruises Niagara Cruises Liberty Landing Ferry Hornblower Classic Cable Cars NYC Ferry Service The Ferryboat Santa Rosa has since been retired from rental events.

Fifth Avenue station (San Diego)

Fifth Avenue station (formerly Gaslamp station) is a station of the Orange Line, Blue Line, and Silver Line on the San Diego Trolley. It is located in the Core district of downtown San Diego, California. The station is located along on C Street, between Sixth Avenue and its namesake Fifth Avenue, surrounded by several office buildings. It is one of the original stations of the San Diego Trolley, opening on July 26, 1981. At the time of opening, it was called Gaslamp station, due to its proximity to the Gaslamp Quarter.
