HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE OF LA ART STATION

Originally constructed in 1885, the site functioned as a blacksmith's forge for early settlers, cattle hands, and rancheros along 

the San Gabriel River, near the San Gabriel Mission. Positioned by the riverbanks, it provided a watering spot for horses while 

its grand architecture facilitated equine care. The cobblestone floors and meticulously crafted brickwork embody a bygone era 

of frontier living. Over the years, the building transformed into various establishments including a Blacksmith, Century Motor 

Sales showroom, Cambridge Furniture store, and a general store before being repurposed as a gallery for fine art collections. 

The San Gabriel area is an art place itself. The missionaries who built the place are responsible for the numerous artifacts found 

in the area. Linwoods Auction is gladly to have its history continues to live on in a remarkable setting.
