MAYTON TRANSFER LOFTS |
history of The
mayton transfer lofts
Built in sections beginning in 1911, the building that now houses the Mayton Transfer Lofts has had many owners and tenants in its near 100-year history. Tobacco, Peanuts, even liquor and cars were sold and distributed from the warehouses here.
The most prominent owner was T.W. Mayton, who, in the 1930s, purchased a majority of the connected warehouses here and operated a moving and storage business, distributing goods to the city from trains which off-loaded goods behind building. The company also specialized in transporting huge, unwieldy loads like church bells, bridge girders and houses. The Mayton family operated from the building for more than 70 years.
