The home of Campbell Signs/Campbell Communications Company is an eccentric building.

I assume the eccentricity is at least partly intended to showcase possibilities for potential customers.

I personally really like the train mural, painted on what looks like an overhead door.

The overhead door is surrounded to look like the train is emerging from a tunnel.

The number plate of the locomotive is the address of the building.

Campbell Signs/Campbell Communications Company also has a custom-built replica of a military tank. It is built on a 1974 Cadillac Coupe deVille chassis, retaining most of the Cadillac features, and was completed in April, 1998. It is 21 feet long and over 8 feet wide and is street legal to drive in Oregon.
