c. 1965
Modern/Modern Movement

This four-story corner building was constructed as a department store c. 1965. The large building spans the length of the block along SE 8th Street and is divided into two sections. One the west half of the building, the first story contains modified aluminum and glass storefronts. The second story contains bands of fixed tinted windows. Wide concrete spandrels and thin concrete pilasters divide the north and west facades into bays on the first two stories. The third and fourth stories are clad entirely in concrete panels. A wall clock and thermometer hang at the south end of the west elevation at the third and fourth stories. The south half of the building is a parking garage clad entirely in concrete panels with no windows. Both sections of the building have parking on the roof. The non-historic c. 1980s alterations compromise the integrity of the building and its ability to convey associations with the period of significance, rendering it non-contributing.
