[4] The lobby of the 10-story building was designed by Belluschi, and connected to Portland's first underground parking garage.
The red tile roof and dormers combine with geometric windows that are almost flush with the facade to achieve this effect.
[6] The lot upon which the Pacific Building stands is across Yamhill Street from Pioneer Courthouse, in the heart of downtown Portland.
The entire lot once was the grounds of the Henry Corbett mansion (built 1875), which remained until construction began on the Pacific Building.
Corbett's widow kept a cow on the grounds at one time while a major city grew around it.
