Located in Downtown Portland, this neoclassical structure works as a courthouse for Oregon's Multnomah County. It was constructed between 1909 and 1914. In the early 20th Century, this was one of the largest courthouses in the West Coast region. The courthouse had a courtyard at the time of its establishment, which ceased to exist due to expansion policies. The structure is home to 39 courtrooms, four of which still retain the original design.

Catholic Archbishop Blanchet originally lived in this house, which was built in 1879. The Gothic Revival-style building had divine beginnings but through the years it was also the location of a speakeasy, architectural studio, a sign company and is currently the home for the Al-Amir Lebanese Restaurant. This ornate structure has been well preserved and boasts eight arched windows framed with elaborately carved moldings. The light brown exterior and red trim blend in well with the other historic buildings in this part of downtown area and is a sound example of Portland's historic past.
