Each entrance is in a tower that appears to be one story above the roofline of the building. The building is two stories high with a partial basement. There is a sign our front but not readable This picture was taken from the Pacific University campus. The street appears to be paved with a curb but there is no sign of a sidewalk. There is concrete steps and walkway from the street to the entry steps. On the right, in the background, are a couple of 1920’s cars on Main Street and two storefronts can be seen. The one on the left has a sign towards the top of the two story building DRUGS.
