content: Between November of 1955 and March of 1958, Marchant Calculators, Inc., built a new factory and world headquarters in Oakland, California. The building faced San Pablo Avenue, extending from 67th St. to Folger St. and from San Pablo Ave. to the railroad. These eighty-three photographs document the destruction of existing buildings on the site and the construction of the new structure. Not long after the factory was complete, Marchant merged with Smith-Coronoa to form SCM Corporation, which had its headquarters in New York.
