I should have taken a photo with someone standing next to the window, they are absolutely HUGE!
Just guessing, from the height of the refrigerators... The cross beam of the window (pic #3) would sit a 5' so the top must be at least 9' feet tall?

May be the bottom half not including the arch.

Cool addition to get a growing tech company move in here.

In late summer, the Flywheel crew will be relocating from the Mastercraft building (where they co-office with SPN) to a new 6,000 square-foot space above Wilson and Washburn bar and restaurant at 14th and Harney.

"We're spreading our wings," Knudtson joked. "We just needed more space and being closer to the Old Market is a plus. It's more walkable, has a few more amenities."

The space is newly renovated and has a thrift shop in the basement, the restaurant on the first floor, clean, industrial office space on the second floor and apartments on the third and fourth floors.

"thrift store in the basement"?
are they talking about second chance or am I missing something? because for a hipster company calling a 40 year old Antique and Vintage store a thrift shop would be rather declassè

This is cool, I ran across a picture my buddy took back when he knew the old owners. Came a long way.

It looks like they are installing some facade work on the east front of the building below the windows to match the west side under the windows. Here is a picture for reference:

After looking back at this picture, it appears they are just restoring the building to the way it once looked. I didn't even notice that it wasn't the same. Maybe they will add on the the top overhang and restore it to original as well.

Will they paint the east side red to match the front?

Paint won't do much. What we really need is a new building next to it to round-out the corner. Mid-block buildings from that era were never meant to have their sides left exposed.
