Night shot of entrance to Executive Plaza from 11th Street (early 1980's) Both the header image and the one here were taken by myself in August 1981. The Executive Plaza (when I managed it in the early 1980's) was the premier residential building of Corvallis Oregon. Originally a co-op, this luxury property had features no other apartment building in town could match. For instance, the ceilings and floors are concrete slab, the walls are not only concrete block (but are filled with concrete and rebar). Each original unit (37) has a fireplace, radiant ceiling heat, front patio, and rear entry sitting area. Windows were designed to negate the cloudy Oregon winters so the units remained a bright as possible. The building is considered fireproof. The reason this building is so solid is it was built to higher standards as a residential cooperative than an average 'apartment building'. I had heard at one time it was the first co-op built in the west (a living arrangement which was more popular back east). Can a person 'love' a building? I assure you, I fell in love with this property when I moved there in the late 1970's. It was my 'home' for many years and left an indelible imprint on my early years.
