Quoted from Society of Commercial Archeology VP, Jeremy Ebersole: “The Peaks is a quintessential example of the exaggerated modern style of architecture, one of the best in the entire Portland metro area. Perfectly displaying the style’s characteristic soaring, cantilevered roofs, expansive storefronts, and virtuosic exposed structural elements, the building is powerfully optimistic, bold, and resonant not only for its period of construction in the Atomic Age but for a vibrant city of today.”
