Libby, McNeill and Libby built nine brick structures near the corner of Stockton Boulevard and 31st Street (now Alhambra Boulevard) in 1912. The undertaking was the grand sum of $1 million.
The building was strategically located to provide access to two separate railways and employed around 1,000 workers.
Corresponding with a decline in canned food sales in the US, Libby shut down operations in the early 1980s. A developer purchased the building soon after for $2.5 million and remodeled it into an office complex, some of which was used by state offices, departments of UC Davis Medical Center, and a fitness center. In 1991, it was valued at $30 million. In 2021, The Sacramento Bee moved its editorial offices into the development after seven decades at its headquarters and printing plant at 21st and Q Streets.
