The Hygenic Dog Food Co, Berkeley (1990?)

The Hygenic (sic) Dog Food Co. factory, West Berkeley (“Health Food For Dogs”, as it (still) says on the side of the building).

I took this photo with an old Pentax 67 medium format film camera more than two decades ago; the building’s still there now, looking much the same, but surrounded by creeping gentrification. I always wanted to buy the building and turn it into a cafe and bookshop (with a studio upstairs), but I never had the money back when Emeryville and West Berkeley were cheap, and now I don’t have a hope in hell of owning anything in either place.
