Urb Arbour of West Linn and a business partner bought the building in the late 1970s.Arbour has been sole owner for about 20 years. "It's made of unreinforced brick," hesaid. "I worrywhen I hear about an earthquake. I come over to see if the building isstill standing." So far it has escaped damage from minor quakes. Rainswere eroding the brick years ago.
