Security Storage and Safe Deposit Company Warehouse

The Security Storage and Safe Deposit Company Warehouse is a historic storage facility at 517-523 Front Street in Norfolk, Virginia. It is a large concrete structure with four levels of storage, and was built in 1916. It is a rare survivor in an area that once had many warehouses, and is distinctive for its subdued decorations, which differentiate it from otherwise nondescript brick or concrete warehouses.[2]
