About 14 developers/parties recently took a mandatory walk-through of the old Julian Ship Supply building, which the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency is looking to move to make way for a potential new courthouse.

RDA announced earlier this month that it wants someone to renovate, reuse and move the 1931 structure built by Crescent Oil Company founder and Long Beach Councilman Frank W. Barnes.

The building - "designed by the prominent Long Beach architectural firm of Schilling and Schilling to capitalize on the drive-in market phenomenon of the time," according to the RDA - still sits empty along West Broadway between Daisy and Magnolia avenues.


The next step is for the RDA to send a notice to developers who attended the walk through to submit their Letters of Intent and provide a general outline of their plans, according to an RDA representative.
