The Sioux City Linseed Oil Works is a Victorian industrial building in Sioux City, Iowa, constructed in 1884 to house the linseed oil manufacturing operation initially known as Hubbard and Gere. Located east of the downtown district among other warehouses and industrial structures, the building was largely destroyed by fire on the night of May 20, 1891. Mankato architect William D. McLaughlin collaborated with local architect E.W. Loft to rebuild the structure, which emerged substantially similar to its original form, though the westernmost wing's gable roof was replaced with a flat roof and the rebuilt press room annex gained two additional floors. The American Linseed Oil Company, which owned the facility, ceased production there in 1927; the Bekins Van and Storage Company acquired the building in 1928 and operated from the site until 1972. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
