The NRHP Nomination Form contains the following verbiage to describe this contributing building's significance:

The manufactured stone building at 308 SE Jackson Street was built as a garage and salesroom with the salesroom occupying the ground floor and the garage occupying the daylight basement with access at the rear of the building. The building has a flat roof with garlands characteristic of other Patterson-built structures that festoon the cornice and area above two string courses. Two of the original four ball on pedestals above the cornice have been removed. The building has three bays, the showroom windows flanking the recessed entry door have all been reduced in size with the addition of dark-stained plywood. Windows on the side of the building are double-hung one/one. The dance studio is located at the basement level, which is ground level at the rear. It has an entrance on the north side.

The Motor Shop Garage was constructed hi 1912 by F.F. "Pat" Patterson, a well-established Roseburg builder who also owned a manufactured stone plant in Roseburg. It is one of several similar buildings constructed by Mr. Patterson. Owners of the building were O.C. Baker and Carl A. Patzlaf who operated a Buick agency; their business continued at this location until the Depression.

This building is Inventory #20 on page 22 of the NRHP Nomination Form. Today, this building is home to the United Community Action Network.
