"STEIGERWALD DAIRY
Situated at 37th and Sandy, the gateway to Rose City Park, Steigerwald Dairy was recognized as one of the earliest dairies of East Portland. The original Steigerwald farm lay outside of Rose City Park, situated from 42nd to about 52nd between Prescott and Killingsworth Streets. The farm also raised nursery stock in addition to the creamery products. An early distribution point (about 1920) for Rose City Park was located in the Vincent block in the store now occupied by Fuller Paints, at 43rd and Sandy.
The replica milk bottle with cream line (before homogenized milk) was the tallest building on the east side skyline when built. Dedicated at an open house on May 19, 20, and 21, 1926, the plant boasted the first and largest automatic conveyer bottling plant in the Northwest. It could wash the glass milk bottles, fill and cap at the rate of 2,500 per hour. The model bottle measured 27 feet in diameter at the base and was 75 feet tall. An inside spiral staircase was used to take a Christmas tree to the top each year. Gayly lighted with red and green electric bulbs the tree could be seen at night for several miles. We all missed the landmark when the dairy was sold and the bottle image changed to promote paint products.
