Anybody with info on a building?

I have, for years, noticed what appears to be a vacant factory on the 84 between the Lloyd MAX stop and the Hollywood. It is west of the U-Storage compound, made out of a lot of wood and frankly, doesn't look overly stable.

I was wondering if anyone knows the history, and/or if it is currently in use for the NSA or something...

That is such a ghetto-assed building. I have also always wondered what it is.

It's a storage building owned by a big-wig commercial appraiser if memory serves. He happens to be more of a passive investor, so as long as it's generating a revenue stream, it's staying. Then again, what else could you build there...freeway frontage in no man's land--not quite Sullivan's Gultch and not quite Hollywood--ain't exactly prime.

Originally (early 1900s) there was a vast group of the buildings in the Sullivan's Gulch that was originally Doernbecher Manufacturing; as in Doernbecher Children's Hospital. Dorenbecher was the largest furniture manufacturing facility west of the Mississippi in its day. The U-Stoarge building remains and the one you have a question about remains. A company by the name of Barker Manufacturing occupied the buildings sometime in the middle of the century.
