The Maubridge Apartments was built by two Fresno doctors: Dr. JL Maupin and Dr. Dwight Trowbridge, Sr. At the time, and it still is, an elegant addition to Fresno. In 1947, a house was built on top of the apartments by a Fresno judge, giving a view of the Sierra's. An Otis elevator was installed during construction and is still operating—making it one of the oldest operating elevators west of the Mississippi.
