Warehouse No. 2

Oregon Transfer Company Building, 1910 1911

I love this one; simple, bold, colorful, well-preserved. This had obviously been repainted in the years before my 1996 photo because most south-facing signs don't stay this fresh. It deteriorated some in the following decade but is well worth the walk past the Chown Pella lofts building on NW Flanders between 12th and 13th to see this street-level sign.
