In 1894, four years after the formation of the Kern County Land Company, the firm built an office building in Bakersfield that demonstrated its "Faith in the Future" of the city. Designed by San Francisco architect Henry A. Schulze, the structure had outside walls of cream colored pressed brick trimmed with gray sandstone and granite. By the 1950s, the Kern County Land Company had outgrown the building and sold it in 1959.
