Marker Text: Founded in 1902 when J.P. Morgan moved several harvesting companies, the International Harvesting Company came to Amarillo in 1919. By 1925, the company made plans to enlarge their facility to make increasing demand. Architect W. D Price of Chicago was hired to design the building with H. W. Underhill  construction company as the contractor. The red brick three-story, two-part commercial block building was completed in 1926 and including office space, a warehouse and display room. The building, symbolic of an agricultural and trade boom from the 1920s,  was home to International Harvester until 1969. (2017)
