Long Description:
Portland City Hall
(1895/1998) is located at 1220 SW Fifth Avenue (New Address) and
1221 SW Fourth Avenue (Old Address), Portland. Architect: Whidden
and Lewis/Renovation by SERA Architects. Built in 1895 and restored
in 1998, the Renaissance, Classical Revival style City Hall is one
of the grandest buildings in Portland. When City Hall was built, it
had one of the first steel frames in the state. The $30-million
restoration program managed to return most of the original charm to
the structure, much of which had been destroyed by haphazard
changes over its lifetime. City Hall's rotunda on SW Fourth Avenue
shows the damage where a huge construction crane crashed down just
after the renovation had begun.
