Its on NE 28th and Hoyt, almost directly behind the Laurelhurst theater. I know this is kind of an old post, but you can see its little brother if you’re ever down in Portland.

Some of the closest free evening parking to the SU law school is on that block, and so I would lug my eighty pounds of law books nightly past those gorgeous curves. It looked like it had been in the hands of the phone company forever, so I always thought it was an early Ma Bell building. What a surprise to learn she was built for Coca-Cola! I love that building.

Any idea why that would be? I guess the likely answer is that the poles a wires were installed after the 1940 picture, but just seems sort of surprising that it looks different within just about a year.

OK, I don't think I'd actually want the entire city to look Art Deco, but this is a great-looking building. Can you believe bottling plants actually used to look this good?
