A government office building in the middle of Portland. It looks interesting as there is a sculpture sitting in the mid section of the building. Very easy to spot if you are in the town.

Faky, plastic looking, a bit of an isor, quirky ... I am not sure what this building is being praised. So much more that is better to see in this great city. Move on folks

Finished our walking tour at the Portland Building in early May. It is under going repairs and much of the building and statue is covered.

she beautiful to see and you can go up the stairs in the building across the road to get a better picturewe were her on the weekend and it was deserted the building itself is oldPortland itself needs a lot of work but theyre getting there and the walking tour we did was well worth it and an enjoyable way to see things we would normally have missed on our own

It's hard to give this a rating. It's not exactly interactive, so it's a view. I am a big fan of Michael Graves, but this...just doesn't fit, so I see the controversy. The Portlandia sculpture is another story. It's gorgeous and really shouldn't be missed. It is also the second-largest copper repoussé statue in the United States, after the Statue of Liberty. The trees on the sidewalk do not help with the view from the sidewalk, so go straight past the Portland building to The Standard building across the street. You can see some indoor/outdoor escalators in the middle from the sidewalk. Head up to the second floor where you will find yourself in a sort of glassed-in observation area with a direct view of Portlandia above the trees. Perfect photo lineup. It does get pretty warm up there in the summer so you won't be able to stay long.
