This is the only building that was built after Cesar acquired the property. Originally built as the main printing office for the movement, it later grew to serve as office space for union leaders. Today, it is the United Farm Workers (UFW) executive office and the headquarters of the Cesar Chavez Foundation. Additional UFW offices are located throughout California.

This building was named for Sister Florence Weber, who came to La Paz and professionalized and modernized the farmworker movement's accounting operations.

Historic Printing Office

Many of the distinctive and creative posters, flyers, and picket signs of the movement came directly from this office. It was later expanded and is now the headquarters for the United Farm Workers and other movement organizations.
