The building was demolished sometime after June 2003, and is currently a vacant lot owned by the Portland Development Commission.
The development is the Vanport Square building just to the north – a local film buff shows some of his collection of ephemera in the Old Town Pizza on Monday nights.
No longer office spaces, it was demolished, and the site has now been rebuilt on.
Does anybody have any pictures of this place?
