The Peck Bros. and Bartle Tire Service Company Building, also known as the Photo Art Building, is a historic structure located in downtown Portland, Oregon. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building was designed by architect Charles W. Ertz to serve the Peck Bros. and Bartle company, a firm specializing in tire sales and service.
The building features a two-story flat-roofed design with a basement and a footprint of approximately 65 by 69 feet. Its main entry is located at a corner cut at an angle. During its early years, the first floor was divided into a tire sales area and a large garage area used for auto service.
In 1973, the building underwent a renovation to serve the Photo Art Commercial Photographers. Today, it stands as a preserved piece of the city's history on Southwest 13th Avenue.
