Description	Exterior view of the Walter Perry Story Building located on the corner of Sixth and Broadway.
Historical Background	The Walter Perry Story Building was a twelve-story Beaux Arts style structure named after Walter Perry Story, who was a successful businessman, civic leader, and Major General in the California National Guard. Located at 610 N. Broadway, the 1909 building was designed by Morgan, Walls, and Clements. The first three stories and the basement of the building were initially designed for retail, and the Mullen and Bluett clothing company occupied the space from 1910 through the 1960s. The building is now known as the New Story Building, and it houses offices and jewelry businesses.
