From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spalding Building, formerly the Oregon Bank Building is a historic office building in downtown Portland, Oregon on the northwest corner of SW 3rd Avenue and Washington Streets. Since 1982, it has been on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
Architect Cass Gilbert worked on the American Renaissance-style Spalding building while also working on the Woolworth Building in New York City. Completed in 1911, it was considered a skyscraper.[3]
The 103,824 square foot building[4] contains 12 above-ground floors, and its construction mimics a classical column: A base, a shaft, and a capital.[5]
