The site, seen here in 2011, previously had two metal structures on it. The buildings, listed in Multnomah County records as having a “Generic Shop / Garage Use”, were built in 1941. An existing 1924 house on the same lot will remain.

  1. That was a Quonset Hut. Developed for the military in WWII, and mostly surplus ones found their way to civilian use. There are still several left around Portland. Just noticed this as a reference from a newer post.
