This is a large, one-story concrete building that was originally built as a auto garage, but apparently was converted to retail and office space not too long after its construction. It currently has an applied brick veneer on the front (south] facade; the remaining elevations have exposed concrete walls. The western bay of the building has a storefront dating from the 1950s, with aluminum framed display windows and recessed entrance. The eastern half of the building has been recently remodeled with c.1980s or 1990s extruded aluminum windows and door and an application of boards places on the diagonal for decorative materials. A large rigid canopy extends from the roof's edge across the entire front of the building. The top edge of the parapet has a molded cap. Large industrial sash windows along the east and north walls have since been removed, covered over or changed out to smaller windows. The monitor-type roofing was replaced prior to the 1983 survey. The building sits on the northwest corner of 7th and Railroad, facing south.

Statement of Significance: The building was originally constructed in 1920 as the Pacific Highway Garage and was a large industrial style building with garage bays along the front and industrial windows along the sides. Apparently the garage did not last long at this site, because photos from the late 1920s show the Piggly Wiggly grocery store at this location. The 1941 city directory lists the Siberian Shop (a cafe) at 217, the Victory Shine (shoe repair) at 217-1/2, and Wardrobe Cleaners at 219. Only Wardrobe Cleaners is listed in this building in the 1947 directory. The 1953 directory lists Elevator Furniture at 215, Read Ireland & Co. at 217, and the Oregon City Printing and Stationery Store at 219. Photographs from the mid-1950s show the Elevator Furniture Store. The building currently house a hobby shop at 215 and attorney offices in the remainder of the building. Because the building has been extensively remodeled, it no longer retains sufficient historic integrity to be considered a contributing resource.
