Ballou & Wright Company Building
The Ballou & Wright Company Building, in Portland, Oregon, was built in 1921. It was designed by Sutton & Whitney. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.〔
It is a five-story, reinforced concrete historic warehouse building. It is significant "as one of the best-preserved large-scale,
loft-type warehouses in the city; one which is distinguished by the quality of its exterior finish of sand grey brick on street elevations and its detailing in general. The square corner sprinkling tank and elevator tower at the northwest corner of the warehouse, also finely detailed, is a distinguishing and increasingly rare feature locally. Strip pilasters between structural bays are banded with contrasting cast-stone string courses, and the parapet is ornamented with the Ballou & Wright Company's distinctive logogram: an escutcheon displaying a winged wheel."
The Ballou & Wright Company was the leading wholesaler of bicycles, motorcycles and automobile parts in the region. The company grew to have 12 branch offices. The firm disbanded in 1960.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Ballou & Wright Company Building ) and (accompanying photos )〕
