The photos of Santa Clara Valley Fruit company and the George Herbert plant look almost identical - a low, one-story wooden bulding with a false front. They're also reminiscent of Start and Morrison's plant on the east side, as well as many of the turn-of-the-century buildings in downtown Campbell.
