Summary
[edit]DescriptionDowntown Portland circa 1914 from roof of county courthouse.jpg |
View of the center of downtown Portland, Oregon, circa 1914 (possibly 1913), from the roof of the Multnomah County Courthouse, the west wing of which had only recently been completed. This view is looking north on 5th Street (now SW 5th Avenue) from Salmon Street. The Pioneer Courthouse, which still stands today, is in the center of the photo. At the lower left corner is the home of Henry Failing (d. 1898), which was sold in 1924 by his heirs and replaced by the Public Service Building. Between the Failing House and the Pioneer Courthouse is the former Corbett Mansion, built in 1874 as the home of Henry W. Corbett. In 1926, the Pacific Building was constructed directly adjacent to the Corbett house (between it and the Pioneer Courthouse), and in 1936 the house was torn down, after H.W. Corbett's widow passed away. Constructed in its place in 1938 was a new central bus depot [which closed in 1985 and sat empty for many years], itself replaced by a new, additional Hilton Hotel tower (its "Executive Tower") in 2002. |
