Over the past few months, with the help of some wonderful photographers, we have been hard at work capturing the architecture and beauty of downtown Portland, the Pearl, the Central Eastside and many of the other Portland neighborhoods. Some of this could only be done with the cooperation of our friends in the Portland brokerage community, the rest we did by simply walking the streets and shooting buildings.

Most of the pictures can be found on the site, but here are a few of our favorites.

The Blagen Block:

The Blagen Building, located in Old Town, was built in 1889 and is a gorgeous example of Italianate architecture, which was at the height of its popularity in the second half of the 19th century.

Its location on NW 1st is absolutely picturesque. Pure Portland.

The Spalding Building:

These pieces are located in the Spalding Building’s lobby. Made out of old vaults, their contrast to the clean and beautiful lobby is quite striking.

The Spalding Building was built in 1911 and was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1982, one of over 500 in Portland.

The Postal Building:

Pardon the photography on this one; this was before we realized it was best to take the camera out of my hands.  The Postal Building, built in 1901, was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1978. I found the highlight of this building to be the beautiful atrium. (Wish my picture did it justice)

The Barber Block:

Most people familiar with Portland will recognize the historic Barber Block. Built in 1890, this building is another example of Italianate architecture but with a unique flair of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture as well.  Known as an east Portland landmark, it was added to the Registry of Historic Places in 1977.
