Dumas Seed Company warehouse

The Dumas Seed Company warehouse in Pullman, Washington, is a notable steel pre-engineered structure that played a crucial role in the agricultural history of the Palouse region. Originally built to store dry peas, a key crop for local farmers, it highlights the area's agricultural significance, producing 25% of the nation's dry peas and lentils. Established by Edwin A. Dumas, a pioneer in pea processing, the warehouse reflects modernist architectural design with its simple lines and functional form. Since its conversion to RV and boat storage in 2002, it remains a landmark of Pullman's agricultural roots and is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, prompting discussions on the preservation of modern structures.
