Liberty Building - Medford, Oregon - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Located in the heart of Medford's central business district, construction on the Liberty building began in 1909, when the first two stories were completed. In 1911, an additional two stories were added. This building was one of many designed by well-known Medford architect Frank C. Clark. It is the second-tallest structure in Medford, behind only the reincarnated Hotel Medford (the original Hotel Medford, razed in the late 1980s, was another Frank Clark design).

In 1973, the third and fourth floors were condemned due to issues with the heating system and a need for work to bring the fire exits up to code. Extensive alteration, undertaken to achieve compliance with then-current energy code, substantially reduced the historic character of the building, however, it remains on the National Register of Historic Places.
