The Cortaro Headquarters was built in 1935. This building is the Producer’s Cotton Oil. It was built by a Yaqui Indian craftsman, and he did the block work. This building had a cooling unit that had a long shaft that stuck up out of the roof about fifteen feet. It worked by natural suction, drawing air in to keep the building cool. This building had a room that was a safe that had about two feet thick walls and a big steel door on it. Producer’s Cotton kept money in the safe room in order to conduct business. People brought their cotton in, they would weigh it, and Producer's Cotton would pay in cash.
