Warehouse No. 1

Oregon Transfer Company Building, 1910 1911

Warehouse No. 1 is another new one to me, although I've driven by it hundreds of times on my way up NW Glisan. This discreet sign is on the north side of the Chown Pella Lofts building between 12th and 13th streets and is a counterpoint to Warehouse No. 2 on the south side of the block.

Oregon Transfer Co. seemed to be a big player in the transfer and storage field in the early 1900s. Warehouse No. 1 and No. 2 took up this half block, as well as Warehouse No. 3 in the Prael, Hegele Building two blocks to the north.
