Stockton History
McKee Building: The Sterling Department Store
S. Hunter Street/E. Main Street
Era: 1969
Photographer: Leonard Covello
This building was built in 1875 by William F. McKee, a local business man. It was the second home of the Stockton Savings and Loan Society, later to become known as the Bank of Stockton. The bank was housed here from 1875 until 1908, when it was re-located to the corner of Main and San Joaquin Streets.

The Sterling Department Store located in this building after the bank's removal and remained there until its demolition in the 1960's.
