Old Manton Corner Store

PECK Structural is renovating an old corner store and trading post in Northern California. The structure, built in the early 1900s, has a sheet metal roof and is made of 1.5 inch thick planks harvested from nearby Shingletown, which has a history of logging large timber to supply miners during the Gold Rush era.

An historic renovation re-use project, the structure will be enhanced including redoing the roof and porch and adding a cafe. The owners are dedicated to preserving the community landmark. The area has developing vineyards, apple orchards and nearby Lassen Volcanic National Park.

The corner store will be getting a seismic retrofit, a foundation upgrade and a shear wall upgrade. PECK Structural is performing the engineering here in Pasadena while working with a local team of draftspersons and permitters in Manton.
