Downtown San Bernardino

History 

Nearly a century ago, and following in his fathers footsteps, visionary entrepreneur John Andreson Jr. embarked on a journey to create the Enterprise Building, a grand landmark that shaped San Bernardino's future as a financial gateway, and its story is one of enduring transformation.

"We have placed our confidence in San Bernardino. Our large investment is but a symbol of our faith in the city. The prosperity of San Bernardino seems assured and the splendid spirit manifested by the citizens is partly responsible for the growth."

-John Andreson Jr. (CEO of The Andreson Co. | Double County Supervisor) - 1927

The perfectly positioned plot of land (with the region's first brewery) was originally purchased in 1871 by German immigrant entrepreneur John Andreson, who moved to San Bernardino from San Francisco and La Paz after operating a brewery and store. John was inspired to pitch a grand vision for a financial "Inland Empire." With his foresight, he helped grow the region's industries, securing the Santa Fe Railroad, becoming a double county supervisor, and was crowned "The King of Enterprises."

John's son, John Andreson Jr. (County Supervisor as well), with the help of his siblings and famed local architect Howard E Jones, worked to design their father's vision for a charming modern structure- replacing the old brewery site.

Focused on helping the local community thrive, The Andreson Co.'s obtained 94% of all materials, supplies, and labor from local sources.

When the gorgeous building, which fused modern-classical elements with a modern-classical design, was completed, the Andreson Building opened as the largest office building in the region—home to the top lawyers, doctors, professionals, shops, and housed Merchants National Trust and Savings Bank (later merged with Bank of America to become a main branch).

The Andreson Building, which formally opened on May 14th 1927, has played an important role in the growth of San Bernardino, serving over the years as the location for the Bank of America, notable City Attorneys, the Community Chest, the Red Cross, the Coast Guard, Innes Shoes, the Redevelopment Agency, and Cal Trans. A major stop along the Route 66 downtown business loop.

After decades of pivotal success, the building became dormant, but in 2017, the Stanly family kicked off a contemporary movement of restoration and revitalization in downtown San Bernardino, bringing over 100 small businesses and over 80,000 people. Today, the landmark will continue its legacy as a central entrepreneurial fixture of San Bernardino life.

    This is an amazing building from the 1920s. It is one of the very few buildings of its kind in San Bernardino California. The lobby of this building is very beautiful and the people who run the reception are absolutely wonderful and friendly. More people need to support the downtown area and keep the businesses in the area going like those in the Enterprise Building. This is the oldest building of its kind in San Bernardino. There is a banquet and reception hall that can be rented out for your business and entertainment needs. They have office space available in this incredible building for lease. The Stanly family who owns this beautiful building are also champions for downtown San Bernardino. The people of San Bernardino need to follow the lead of those involved with the Enterprise Building and help bring the downtown area back to its former glory. I would tell more of the building's history but finding out by visiting is absolutely more fun and interesting.

  • Very clean and very well kept. You can tell the Enterprise building is under great ownership and management.

    Eric F.

  • Very historic place. It was a man with a family who had a vision for that building 100+ years ago and it was great being able to meet inside with family. I lived in San Bernardino county my whole life and I never knew this building was here. It was beautiful inside and out.

    Jennifer R.

  • Nice friendly staff.

The building is amazing and an important piece of history and I look forward to having all my future events here.

    Kyle C.

  • Ideal place for special events. Owners are maintaining the original 1927 atmosphere 👍🏼👍🏼. Lots of parking spaces, many small businesses are in this building and many more. Right next to another historical building-The Harris Company building.

    Florepes C P.

  • This place is a hidden gem. It is right down the street from the court. A very clean bar with a great variety of liquors. When we walked in, we were created by the owner who is extremely accommodating. There is nothing else like this in the area. I highly recommend.

    Samantha H.

  • Cool historical building and great for events!! There's even a bar inside.

  • I love what they're doing with the building. It's continually being upgraded. Every time I visit there's something new completed. I've seen the progress made in and out of the building and its good for down town San Bernardino. I look forward to seeing the building completed! Go see for yourself, the place is a SB landmark

    John S.

  • I love love love this building! From the basement all the way up to the top floor, you’ll find beautiful features showcasing its history! In addition to all of the meeting office space available, there’s also several great spots to host an event!

  • I've been to numerous events at the hall and have enjoyed myself every time! The staff has always been available and the hall was run in a very professional manner. I grew up in SB and it's really nice to see that efforts are being made to bring down town SB back.

    John S.

  • This is the only place that I know of where you lease next to other small businesses and form an actual community. If I need any service done it’s usually only a few steps away in the next office space. Think of a mall in a building but instead of just stores, you get business owners with smiles.

    Wade A.
