Stone mason A.C. Lloyd did the stunning sandstone and mortar entryway to the Benton Manor - The Executive Plaza (on the left as you enter the building) from 11th Street. The crowning element to a beautiful building with a hidden past! I used to love this beautiful mosaic and hosed it down occasionally as it was shielded by rain but did attract dust.
Luckily because of the way it has been protected with an overhang through the years it has never deteriorated! Lloyd also did the Lipman's Building (later) Frederick & Nelson at 4th & Madison (downtown Corvallis).
