The Ballou Wright Building was built in 1917 by Ira S. Harding, a well-regarded architect and builder of specialized industrial buildings. Oscar Ballou and Charles Wright had sold their bicycle business in Montana and moved to Portland, OR to enter the auto industry. They used this building on 12th Avenue in Seattle as their head office, parts warehouse, and service center for over thirty years.
