The Claremont Warehouse No. 34 is located about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) west of Claremont's central Tremont Square, between Main Street and Heritage Place.

When built, the structure had an open interior with a single floor and three mezzanine levels, with a tall three-story opening at one end, and was covered by a sawtooth roof. [2] [3]
The building was designed by Arthur S. Coffin and built in 1912 by the Sullivan Machinery Company, a local manufacturer of quarrying and mining equipment.
