Description:
Opened 1890.
I've read that the fairly glam Hotel Portland was responsible for shifiting Portland's cultural scene and nightllife away "Old Town" to Broadway. Flirted with expansion plans around 1910. Poor construction in the foundations led to detioration and eventual closing.
Demolished 1951. Parking garage until 1980s. Today: Pioneer Sqaure.
