New GP Building Opens Near Torrance Refinery
General Petroleum Corp. opened a new 32,500 square foot administration and engineering building in Torrance. More than 120 new faces moved into the two story facility with 77 offices, conference and drafting rooms, vaults, blueprinting quarters and a coffee shop. Manager A. E. Thompson and engineering manager C. M. Reading head the staff, previously in Vernon, with parking for 133 autos. The $500,000 addition aims to save time and money by locating staff near the refinery, says manufacturing VP Gale Adams.
