<p>The Genoa Building, at the intersection of Southeast Belmont Street and Southeast 29th Avenue in Portland in the USA state of Oregon, is a single-story commercial building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in a Vernacular style with Mediterranean features in 1930, it was added to the register in 1997.</p><br>
<p>After construction of the Morrison Bridge over the Willamette River in the late 19th century, Belmont Street became an important arterial with a streetcar line extending from central downtown Portland to as far east as Southeast 34th Avenue. A business district that centered on the original streetcar terminus gradually spread up and down Belmont. Among the last of the buildings in this development was the Genoa Building.</p><br>
<p>Home to three separate storefronts facing Belmont Street, the Genoa is a square building 60 ft on each side. Although all are 60 ft deep, two of the storefronts are 25 ft wide, and the third, on the west, is only 10 ft wide. Early tenants included a pharmacist, a barber, and a grocer. Significant architectural features include display windows across the north side and part of the east side of the building, 12 ft interior ceiling heights, a partial basement in the rear, and a red clay tile roof.</p><br>
<p>J.W. Wilson was the original owner of the building, constructed by Knott and Rogers. Winifred Guild acquired the property in 1943, and the Guild family retained control of it until 1971, after which it was converted to restaurant space.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Graham Building, 6031 Southeast Stark Street, Portland, in the USA state of Oregon, is a two-story commercial building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1910, it was added to the register in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The wood-frame structure, supported by a concrete foundation and including a full basement, houses a business on the first floor and a domestic apartment on the second floor. Architectural features include a recessed storefront facing a colonnade of fluted wood columns, a double-leaf front door, and plate-glass display windows. Constructed by George Foreman for druggist Thomas Graham, the building preserves a form of commercial architecture typical of the city&#39;s neighborhood business districts around 1900. The building was named a Portland Historic Landmark in 1981.</p><br>
<p>Graham, who operated a drugstore in the building for many years, was born in Ontario, Canada, and moved to Portland in 1891. At that time, the Mount Tabor neighborhood, where the building is located, was slowly changing from rural to residential. Minor commercial hubs in the vicinity generally featured small wooden buildings with recessed storefronts facing streetcar lines. The Graham Building is one of only four such buildings that remain intact in central southeast Portland. The building is currently occupied by Bellwether Bar, a neighborhood bar.</p><br>
<p>The former Mizpah Presbyterian Church is a building in southeast Portland, Oregon.</p><br>
<p>This Carpenter Gothic style church is on the National Register of Historic Places and is the oldest structure in Ladd’s Addition.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mizpah Presbyterian Church was built in 1902, and moved to its current location in Ladd’s Addition in 1911. An addition at the east end was added to the main structure in 1924, and was used for classrooms and meeting rooms.</p><br>
<p>The churchs wood-frame structure features a design from the mid-1800s. Above the prominent entryway staircase rises a Basilican bell tower adjacent to the main structure. In the bell tower is the original bell cast in 1888 by Vanduzen and Tift at the Buckeye Bell Foundry in Cincinnati, Ohio.</p><br>
<p>It served the Presbyterian community as a church and community center until 1961. From 1961 to 1978, the structure was rented to several other congregations and organizations, each of which had a short life.</p><br>
<p>After 17 years of neglect, it was purchased by Artur Lind in 1978 who converted it over the next three years for use as four residential units. Lind completed the design work himself, used the 20-foot pews to make railings, staircases, furniture, and accent pieces, and obtained the National Register of Historic Places designation in 1983.</p><br>
<p>In 1996, Ross Regis purchased the property and has made many improvements to the interior and exterior of the building while maintaining architectural integrity and Artur Lind’s legacy.</p><br>
<h3>2010’s renovations</h3><br>
<p>During 2016-17, the front and rear basement apartments were renovated, and the seismic retrofit was completed. In 2018, the upper rear apartment was renovated, and in 2019 the former sanctuary was renovated.</p><br>

<p>Alexandria station is a historic train station in Alexandria, Minnesota. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 as the Great Northern Passenger Depot.</p><br>
<p>The Saint Paul and Pacific Railroad reached Alexandria in 1878. The Great Northern Railway promoted Alexandria as a tourist destination, with brochures and attractive fares, and the growing tourist traffic made it necessary to replace the original wood-frame depot.</p><br>
<p>The new depot was built more ornately than the usual depots, which were executed from standardized plans developed by the railroads. The Alexandria depot had mosaic tile floors, birch woodwork, enameled brick wainscoting, and comfortable furniture, and it was located conveniently next to a nearby park. The new depot was one of the largest and most ornate along the Great Northern line in Minnesota.</p><br>
<p>The Alexandria depot was an active passenger station until May 1, 1971. The depots last train; Burlington Northerns " Western Star " was not continued by Amtrak & made its last run on April 30, 1971. Freight service continued until 1976, at which point the depot was shuttered. Burlington Northern sold the building in 1984, and its new owners completed a restoration and reopened it the next year as the Depot Express Restaurant and Lounge. The adjacent rail line is now the Central Lakes State Trail.</p><br>
<p>The Yale Union Laundry Building, also known as the Yale Laundry Building, the City Linen Supply Co. Building, Perfect Fit Manufacturing and simply Yale Union , in southeast Portland, Oregon, is a two-story commercial structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built largely of brick in 1908, and embellished with Italian Revival and Egyptian Revival decorations, it was added to the register in 2007. Two-story additions in 1927 and 1929 changed the original building into an L-shaped structure that shares a party wall with a building to the east.</p><br>
<p>Preservation of elements of Portlands industrial laundry era, and its relation to the womens labor movement and the rise of the middle class in the United States, are factors in the building&#39;s listing on the National Register.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Located at 800 Southeast 10th Avenue, the building occupies the west half of the block between Southeast Belmont and Southeast Morrison streets. The southwest corner entry features a stylized Egyptian temple of cast stone. Italianate Renaissance influence is seen in the ground floor&#39;s large arched windows and tall narrow windows on the second. The west facade is lined with banks of large windows that helped illuminate and cool the work areas. Other important exterior features include a large garage door along Belmont Street, and a paved parking lot and water-tower pedestal on the Morrison Street side.</p><br>
<p>The original building&#39;s main floor has vaulted ceilings, large windows, brick walls, a flat roof, and wooden cross beams. The mezzanine consists of three rooms. The second floor has large windows and vaulted ceilings, restrooms, and a lunchroom. Stairs and elevators connect the levels, including the basement and its boiler room. A lobby and office in the southwest corner of the main floor can be entered from inside or via the original main door off Southeast 10th Avenue.</p><br>
<p>Following purchase in 2008, renovations began to convert the building into a contemporary arts center. Architects designed gallery spaces, a bookstore and cafe, a 100-seat room, library and kitchen. Geothermal heating supplied by an aquifer underneath the building will contribute to the goal of LEED Platinum status.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1908, Charles F. Brown, who entered the laundry business in the Midwest in 1892, moved to Portland to build the Yale Laundry Building, and to operate an industrial power laundry on its premises. The buildings basement contained boilers to heat wash water, and the main part of the first floor had beams capable of supporting heavy washing machines. The first and second floors had large windows to admit light and to release heat and steam. At the time of the buildings construction, Portland had 68 commercial laundries of varied types and sizes. By 1916, the Yale Laundry, one of the larger laundries, employed 125 people, many of whom were women.</p><br>
<p>Federal and state laws regulating hours, wages, and working conditions changed markedly in the United States during the early 20th century. The states Industrial Welfare Commission, established in 1913, ruled in 1914 that women could not work in laundries for more than 54 hours a week, and that work days were not to exceed nine hours. The commission established a minimum weekly wage of $8.25 for women working in Portlands laundries. By 1917, the work day was reduced to an eight-hour maximum. In 1920, to lower costs related to regulations and the rise of organized labor, several industrial laundries in Portland combined to form the Home Services Company. The new company lowered overhead by sharing resources, and added a pickup and delivery service popular among middle-class families. The company acquired the Yale Union Laundry in 1927.</p><br>
<p>By 1931, more than 80 percent of the services offered by industrial laundries were sold to individual families.</p><br>
<h3>Yale Union</h3><br>
<p>The building housed Yale Union (YU), a contemporary arts center from 2008 to 2021. Alter LLC, associated with the Monfort Family Foundation, purchased the building for $3.5 million and intended to fund renovations and operations until the arts center generated revenue on its own. Renovations costing an additional $7.2 million, also funded by Alter, included a bookstore and cafe, and a 100-seat room. The center was officially unveiled in November 2010 with a renovated kitchen and additional improvements planned. More than 600 people attended YU&#39;s first public exhibit in May 2011.</p><br>
<h3>Center for Native Arts and Cultures</h3><br>
<p>The Native Arts and Cultures Foundation, which Willamette Week has described as the "first and only nonprofit in the USA dedicated exclusively to funding Native art and culture", took over the building&#39;s ownership in 2020. Their first exhibition was held in 2022.</p><br>

<p>The East Portland Grand Avenue Historic District, located in southeast Portland, Oregon, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The district includes approximately 20 city blocks on or near Southeast Grand Avenue on the east side of the Willamette River, roughly bounded on the south by SE Main Street, north by SE Ankeny Street, west by SE Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and east by SE Seventh Avenue. Most structures in the district are commercial buildings rising two to three stories. Immediately to the west of the historic district is Portland&#39;s east side industrial area, and to the east are industrial and residential areas.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The historic district is part of a larger area originally designated in 1850 as the East Portland Townsite. In 1861 James B. Stephens platted the area into 200-foot by 200-foot blocks from a portion of his donation land claim. The townsite was roughly bounded by the Willamette River to the west, 12th Street to the east, Glisan Street to the north, and Hawthorne Street to the south.</p><br>
<p>By 1870, the Oregon Central Railroad included a branch through East Portland, and the community was incorporated in 1871. Commercial development increased, and in 1891 East Portland was annexed into the city of Portland.</p><br>
<h2>Designation of buildings</h2><br>
<p>The historic period of significance for the district is 1883 through 1930. Buildings designated as "primary" contributing properties were constructed between 1883 and 1915. Those designated as "secondary" were constructed between 1916 and 1930.</p><br>
<p>A third designation, "historic but non-contributing," denotes buildings constructed within the period of significance but which have been modernized or altered beyond their historic identity.</p><br>
<p>The East Portland Grand Avenue Historic District includes a total of 74 properties, and 50 are designated either primary, secondary, or historic non-contributing.</p><br>

<p>The James Hickey House is a house in the Eastmoreland neighborhood of southeast Portland, Oregon. The Tudor Revival style house was finished in 1925 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It was built by the architectural firm Lawrence & Holford and was one of architect Ellis Lawrence&#39;s designs for a building contractor named James Hickey. The house was built with the intention of being a model home in the Eastmoreland neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After he moved to Portland Oregon in 1906, Ellis Lawrence designed numerous residential and nonresidential structures, around 260 of which currently survive in Washington and Oregon. He worked in a variety of architectural styles but in his middle period between 1912 and 1930 he worked mostly with Historic Period styles. This is exemplified in the Tudor Revival style of the James Hickey House. The James Hickey House is one of several houses Lawrence designed in the Eastmoreland neighborhood and it is the only house Lawrence designed in this neighborhood that has not been altered significantly. The contractor and financier James S. Hickey Sr. was born in 1893 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and moved to Portland, Oregon in 1924. In 1925 he served as contractor for the James Hickey House which was to be his own house. James Hickey and his family lived in the James Hickey House up until the 40s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Eastmoreland neighborhood where the house is located was developed with the intention of being an upper class suburb. The house is surrounded by similarly sized houses. It is edged by small shrubs on the front, large rhododendrons on the garage side, and the facade is shaded by large maple trees. The houses living room is located on the front elevation which is uncommon in Lawrences designs. This was likely due to the minimal view potential of the flat lot the house was built on. Some of the houses notable features include its decorative brickwork, brick and half-timber exterior surfacing, leaded glass windows and French doors, wrought iron stair railing and door hardware, and tiled living room fireplace.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The James Hickey House is rectangular in design and has the addition of two side wings and a rear bay. The south side wing was added recently. The back yard is enclosed by a covered lattice fence which also keeps the recently added side wing from view. The houses main roof is formed by a gable with clipped north and south ends. This roof is intersected to the front by a large gable at the south end and a smaller gable which extends over the houses main entrance. The gable over the front entrance is supported by a pair of chamfered porch posts and is two stories. The houses garage has a clipped gable roof as well. The exterior of the first floor is covered in red brick and the exterior of the second floor has a half timbered surface. The off center exterior chimney contains decorative brickwork. The front door of the house which is nested underneath the two story extending gable is decorated with a hand forged handle and front plate and is in the middle of a pair of iron lanterns.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>While many of the buildings exterior features such as the brickwork, exterior chimney, half timbered surface, and gables exemplify the Tudor Revival style, the buildings interior is more modernized and has fewer Tudor features. Some of the few Tudor Revival features of the interior are leaded glass windows, exposed beams in the living room, and a wrought iron stair railing. The house&#39;s floor is made out of oak and the stair treads are made with mahogany. There are original steam heat registers in every room of the building. The fireplace is contained in the east wall and has no mantelpiece. The rooms are organized around the entrance hall on the first floor. The first floor contains a living room, dining room, kitchen, sitting room, breakfast room and a half bath. The sitting room originally was an exterior side porch. The second floor contains three bedrooms, a library and two baths. All rooms on the second floor have sloped ceilings. The house also has a finished basement.</p><br>

He and his wife, Lillian, were the original owners of the property and lived in the house with their three children. Smith changed jobs and moved to Seattle in 1914, and the Smiths sold the property in 1919.</p><br>
<p>Ellis F. Lawrence (1879–1946), whose Portland firm designed the house, was a prominent architect, city planner, and teacher. In 1914, he founded the University of Oregon School of Architecture and Allied Arts, where he taught and served as dean while also maintaining his office in Portland.</p><br>
<p>The Troy Laundry Building, located at 1025 Southeast Pine St. in Portland, Oregon, was designed by Ellis F. Lawrence in the early 1900s. It is considered a mixture of Colonial, Egyptian, and Renaissance Revival architecture. It is known for its large windows, tall brick walls, and decorative brickwork.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>While the Troy Laundry Building is classified as Colonial Revival, it also features some characteristics of other architectural styles. The towering brickwork with the tall, double-layered windows and the decorative brickwork at even intervals underscore the mixed architectural styles. The building also has hints of Renaissance Revival architecture, which drew inspiration from a wide range of classical Italian styles.</p><br>
<p>Egyptian Revival architecture is also present in the building, as it also incorporates motifs and imagery from ancient Egypt. In addition, the building&#39;s high stone walls and angular wall faces and design attributes in the upper portions of the building are central to this style.</p><br>
<p>The building also has elements of Colonial Revival architecture, as shown by the angular brickwork, small stacked windows, and symmetrical features. Colonial Revival style is often associated with Centennial Exhibitions, which reawakened Americans to the architectural traditions of their colonial past.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>The Troy Laundry Company</h3><br>
<p>The Troy Laundry was established in 1889 by John F. Tait, who came to Portland, Oregon, from Scotland, where he had apprenticed in the laundry trade. His knowledge of the business and his well-respected management skills led to the establishment of a successful, long-running laundry business.</p><br>
<p>The original Troy Laundry building was located on the west side of the Willamette River, but was destroyed by a fire. After the fire, Mr. Tait moved the laundry into a building on the east side of town.</p><br>
<p>In 1892, he ran advertisements for the laundry, which showed how large his operation had become. Tait has set up additional locations throughout Portland, as well as Vancouver and Oregon City, where laundry could be picked up. Troy Laundry became one of the two largest laundries in the city and catered to both commercial and residential clients. Within 25 years of its establishment, Tait has over 150 people working for the laundry. A pioneer in the industry, Tait was one of the first people in the laundry industry to switch to an eight-hour work day.</p><br>
<p>By 1913, the laundry had outgrown its earlier building, and a new Troy Laundry building was built at the corner of 10th and Pine St. The new building incorporated a variety of innovative features, including a large employee dining room and lounge, its own electrical generators, new engines that ran 44 washers, and 22 extractors. The new building also had standard oil burner dryers, steam equipment, and drying systems, including a tumbler – technologies that were evolutionary for their time.</p><br>
<p>The Troy Laundry company eventually had a customer base that included 10,000 residential, industrial, and commercial clients, generating $600,000 in revenue per week.</p><br>
<h3>Ellis F. Lawrence</h3><br>
<p>Architect Ellis F. Lawrence was born in Malden, Massachusetts, in 1879. He received both his bachelors and masters degrees in architecture from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which was the first school of architecture in the United States. After graduating in 1902, Lawrence worked for three architectural firms: Codman and Despradelle; Andrews, Jaques & Rantoul; and John Calvin Stevens. Lawrence was greatly influenced by his experience working for Despradelle, as well as by his former studio instructor John Calvin Stevens.</p><br>
<p>In 1906, Lawrence headed west where he intended to open an office in San Francisco. He stopped in Portland along the way to visit a friend and former M.I.T graduate. Scrapping his plan to move to San Francisco, Lawrence decided to remain in Portland. He soon joined his friend E. B. McNaughton and engineer Henry Raymond in partnership in November 1906. Lawrence became the firm&#39;s chief designer. In February 1910, he left the firm to pursue independent work until 1913 when a former classmate and friend from M.I.T. William G. Holdford joined him in a new partnership. Ormond Bean and Fred Allyn eventually joined the team in 1928. Bean left the firm in 1933, and both Allyn and Holdford left in 1940.</p><br>
<p>Lawrences first design in Portland was his home, which was located in the Irvington neighborhood of Northeast Portland. In 1914, he founded the University of Oregon School of Architecture and Allied Arts in Eugene, Oregon. He organized the school around teaching methods that rejected the traditional philosophy. Lawrence believed in the integration of all the arts. He eventually became acquainted with many of the Portlands most influential businessmen, including John Tait. He also became friends with Frank Lloyd Wright and the Olmstead brothers.</p><br>

<p>The listing for the William B. Holden House was for a.75 acre property located at 6347 Southeast Yamhill, that consisted of the entire tax lot of Lot I, Belmont Villa, Portland, Oregon.</p><br>
<p>In 2016, the National Register recorded a boundary decrease listing with address 6353 SE Yamhill, with property name William R. Holden House. This appears to indicate that the 6347 property has been split, and the original.75 acre property is no longer intact. Further the middle initial appears to indicate a typo; the listing would have made sense as a boundary decrease to the William B. Holden House listing.</p><br>

<h2>Usage</h2><br>
<p>Located at S.W. Fifth and Stark, the three-story building was the headquarters of the First National Bank (FNB) in Portland starting in 1916, and continued to be a portion of the headquarters complex until 1972. The banks main offices later moved into new buildings constructed directly adjacent—first in 1923, in a new four-story marble building at Sixth and Stark (initially occupied by the affiliated Security Savings & Trust Company, but owned by FNB), and later in 1957–59, with a much larger expansion, into a building now known as 400 SW Sixth Avenue, which replaced buildings at Sixth and Washington and in 1960 also replaced the First National Banks 1923 building.</p><br>
<p>The original building of 1916 continued to form part of the two-building headquarters complex until 1972, when First National moved its headquarters to the new 40-story tower adjacent to the administration services building next to City Hall.

<h2>Congregation history</h2><br>
<p>As a congregation, what is now known as the First Presbyterian Church of Portland was organized on January 1, 1854, and was only the third Presbyterian church in the Oregon Territory. services were originally held in private homes, twice a month. For the first year, Reverend J. L. Yantis journeyed on horseback to Portland from Calapooia, Oregon (2 miles east of Shedd), 80 miles to the south. Services were later held at a larger venue, the Canton House—a public meeting place at Front and Washington streets that was later known as the Pioneer Hotel, the Lincoln House and the American Exchange building.</p><br>
<p>By 1860, the congregation had grown to 87 members, and fundraising for a permanent church building began. and was dedicated on May 22. It included the first pipe organ in Portland. A 1,052-pound bell was donated by Caroline E. Jagger Corbett, wife of Senator Henry W. Corbett. It was made by Meneely & Company (of Troy, New York) from bronze Civil War cannons. A 1987 article in The Oregonian said that in 1865, the bell "rang out the news that the Civil War had ended. Five days later, it tolled for President Lincoln&#39;s death."</p><br>
<p>The church society was incorporated as "the First Presbyterian Church and Society of the City of Portland" in 1865, by members William S. Ladd, John C. Ainsworth, O.P.S. Plummer and others.</p><br>
<p>As the congregation continued to grow, First Presbyterian counted many prominent Portlanders among its members, including Henry W. Corbett, William S. Ladd, John C. Ainsworth, and Jacob Kamm.</p><br>
<p>By the 1880s the congregation had grown to 900 members, and it was decided that a new, larger building was needed. In 1883, a parcel of more than a quarter-block was purchased at 12th and Alder streets for the new church, and later an adjacent property at 13th and Alder was purchased for a parsonage. Architect William F. McCaw was hired to design the new building, and his plans were approved in July 1886.</p><br>
<p>According to The Oregon Encyclopedia, in the 1920s First Presbyterian Church was "among the ten largest congregations in the United States."</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>Construction of the existing building began in 1886. By May 1887, the foundation had been completed, and the cornerstone was laid in a ceremony on May 2 of that year. The chapel was finished in May 1889, as work continued on the main auditorium. The total construction cost was approximately $120,000 (equivalent to $ million in ).</p><br>
<p>The church bell from the 1864 building was moved to the new building in 1889 or 1890. and the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h3>Description</h3><br>
<p>Designed in High Victorian Gothic style, the First Presbyterian Church occupies an 85 x site and includes a 185 ft spire. but copper cladding replaced the shingles in 1929,</p><br>
<h4>Exterior</h4><br>
<p>The buildings stone exterior is made of rusticated black basalt with lighter sandstone trim. The main portion of the building is a gable-roofed auditorium (sanctuary), the main access to which is via a narthex. There are three entrances to the narthex. Two include an arched doorway topped by a pediment, with a trio of stained-glass windows (and smaller, accent windows) above the large wooden doors. One of these entrances faces Alder Street at the base of the tower, at the buildings northeast corner. The other, at the buildings southeast corner (the opposite end of the narthex), faces 12th Avenue. The third narthex entrance is on the south side of the building and is fitted with a porte-cochère. An additional entrance on the buildings north side is located immediately west of the sanctuary and east of the chapel, and is positioned about mid-block on Alder Street. As with the other two original entrances, it has an arched and pedimented doorway with stained-glass windows above the doors. The sanctuary doors are decorated with ornamental brass overlay and leather, and the principle exterior entrance doors feature decorative brass hinges.</p><br>
<p>Positioned on each side of the main auditoriums gabled roof are two gabled dormers, each with a "rose-like" stained-glass window. A "dormer-like" pavilion (without entrance) is centered in the narthex, below the great window—the churchs largest stained-glass window, in the east end of the auditorium.</p><br>
<p>At the building&#39;s west end is a chapel with a transverse gable roof (set at a right angle to the main roof and auditorium), with an arched tracery rose window of stained glass at the south end, where the pulpit is located. At the time of its completion, its floor area was 36 x. At its north end, on Alder Street, it has a twin-door entrance, with a narrow sandstone arch above each single door.</p><br>
<h4>Interior</h4><br>
<p>The main auditorium is 69.5 x in size, with a 57 ft ceiling. The balcony and its stairways were added in 1892. It wraps around three sides of the sanctuary and has an undulating curve in the center, at the rear (east end) of the sanctuary. The church&#39;s interior is "richly embellished". The auditorium features extensive use of cherrywood, carved by Nicholas Strahan, for the "chancel, choir loft, and organ", as well as for "the pulpit, pews, ornamentation, and balcony railings". Strahan was from Portland, but had learned his craft in England. The carvings feature Gothic motifs. The pews are laid-out in a semi-circle.</p><br>
<p>The 57-foot-high ceiling is topped by a timber roof that has "arched braces, hammerbeams, kingposts, tie beams, purlins and rafters, all carved and ornamented, and, like the rest of the woodwork, in a natural finish," as described in the building&#39;s nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The church&#39;s many stained-glass windows were designed by David Povey of Povey Brothers Art Glass Works, of Portland.</p><br>
<p>The current pipe organ is a 52-rank Jaeckel organ dating from 2000. It replaced a Moller organ that had been installed in 1929. The building&#39;s original organ was one transferred from the 1864 building at 3rd and Washington streets.</p><br>
<h4>Window gallery</h4><br>
<h2>Church grounds</h2><br>
<p>The parsonage at the southeast corner of 13th Avenue and Alder Street, immediately west of the main building, was demolished and replaced by a 3½-story, Tudor-style church hall that houses the church&#39;s administrative offices, rooms for Sunday school classes and various other facilities.</p><br>
<p>The church complex now occupies the entire city block, bounded by 12th and 13th avenues and Alder and Morrison Streets, but this was not the case before 2006. Since 1924, the Danmoore Hotel building had stood in the southeast quadrant of the block, directly abutting the porte-cochère In 1988, the 118-room apartment hotel and property, which had been acquired by some of the churchs members, was donated to the church, under long-term plans to relocate its residents to replacement housing (known as the Alder House apartments) located kitty-corner from the main church property, and redevelop the site. Following a 2001-launched fundraising campaign among members, plans for the redevelopment came together. The Danmoores residents were relocated, the building was razed, and a three-story underground parking garage was built in the space, being completed in March 2006. A landscaped plaza designed by Hennebery Eddy Architects was created on top of the parking garage, at street level, and opened at the same time.</p><br>
