The League of Women Voters of Monterey County is one of the oldest leagues in California, founded in 1926 in Pacific Grove. Alice Wood Fiddes, MD, served as the first president. A year later it was reorganized under the direction of the national and state Leagues, with 10 charter members. It was that same year that the Carmel Canning Company warehouse #2 was constructed, a two-story building used to house canning supplies and finished products. Today it’s home to the Cannery Row Antique Mall and a protected historic structure. It’s worth a look inside to see the original conveyor belt, beams and trusses and, of course, to stroll through thousands of antiques and vintage items. The displays by vendors are always changing, making repeat visits a must.
