context_page_description: The Heryford Brothers Building is a historic commercial building in Lakeview, Oregon, United States. It was built in 1913 by William P. Heryford, a local rancher and businessman. The building has changed hands several times over the years, but it has remained in continuous use since it was constructed. Today, the Heryford Building is an active commercial structure for a number of small businesses. Because of its importance to local history, the Heryford Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
context_section_description: The Heryford Brothers Building is a three-story Classical Revival style structure with 54,000 square feet (5,000 m²) of interior floor space.  It was designed by San Francisco architect F. S. DeLongchamp, and constructed by I. A. (Andy) Underwood, a prominent Lakeview builder.  When it was opened, the first floor was occupied by the Lakeview Mercantile Company, Lakeview's post office, and the Hall and Reynolds drug store.  The United States Land Office and the local Elks Lodge occupied the second floor with professional offices on the third floor.  The building included many features that were considered very modern, especially in an isolated eastern Oregon community in the early 20th century. These features included an electric power generator, central stream heat, elevators, telephones, electric lights, and hot water throughout the building.
  The building is a steel and masonry structure with a footprint measuring 107 feet (33 m) by 128 feet (39 m).  The main entrance faces Center Street.  It is flanked by rusticated stone pillars and matching arch with a classical header above the double-door entry.  There are rusticated stone pillars between the ground floor windows with brick pilasters above.  There is also an inset entryway at the southwest corner of the building, facing the Center Street and F Street intersection.  A heavy wooden awning suspended over the sidewalks along the first floor frontage was added sometime after the original construction.  It was removed sometime after 2001, restoring the exterior to its original form.  The second floor has square-framed triple window groups with upper transom windows above the main panes.  The windows are all mounted in pine casement frames. On the third floor, the triple window groups are repeated, but within rounded arch frames.  The building's sheet metal cornices have elaborate entablature, frieze, and dentil elements.  The building also has a full basement.
  Over the years, the first floor has been extensively remodeled to accommodate new commercial tenants.  The mercantile store was replaced by a restaurant, and then new commercial space.  Later, the Elks Lodge expanded to the first floor.  The first floor modifications include dropped ceilings, new sheetrock walls, wood paneling, and new bathrooms.  The first floor space occupied by the drug store has changed hands several times, but retains its original configuration.  With the exception of fire code modifications the second and third floors generally retain their original configurations as well.
