Description:
The first steel-frame building in the western U.S. 9 stories tall, with an extra 4 counting the clock tower, for a total height of 203 feet, the tallest tower in Oregon when completed.
KGW made its first radio broadcast from this building in 1922.
The tower may have been demolished in the 1940s, and the rest of the building followed in the '50s.
