Italianate west facade of the Harker Building, 1878. The facade reads JE NE VEUX PAS TRAVAILLER ("I don't want to work"), a lyric from the Pink Martini song Sympathique. Citroen's licensing of the song for use in a commercial funded the band's purchase of the building. Portland, Oregon. Image credit: Holly Hayes
