Historical information on the Collins Property site indicates that it was originally used for agricultural purposes. In 1905, George A. Dow Pumping Engine Company began operation at the Site. By 1910, it was used for industrial businesses and office space. By 1917, operations at the Site were converted to diesel engine manufacturing for marine vessels. In 1932, portions of the Site were leased to the Van Neil Brass Casting Company, who operated a foundry. In 1941, the Pacific Coast Engineering Company moved from Oakland onto the Site where they produced dredging equipment, marine machinery, harbor tugs, ship sections, and the world’s first high-speed dockside cranes. From 1966 through 1981 the Site was owned by Pacific Coast Engineering. During that time, the machine shop was expanded to Clement Avenue and the western property line. Multiple tenants have occupied the Site since 1981 until it closed in 2002.
