I'd love to see a special about the Portland Hotel that stood on Pioneer Square. Its hard to find videos about it on here because its name just leads you to a lot of random videos relaitng to Portland hotels.
The Architectural Heritage Center did a good video about the history of Pioneer Square's real estate a few years back - ua-cam.com/video/HmwnfhrBzA0/v-deo.html
Definitely a lie regarding the date when the Courthouse was built. Sure there no existing blueprints of this building. It's easy to see one, or maybe even more floors in the ground caused by the Mud flood. Otherwise, who would create the main stairway going into the higher floor? That was a reason why some guys wanted to destroy it as a witness of a different era like they did with many other ancient buildings in Portland, and across both Americas. Please, don't tell me that the original builders were building with underground floors on purpose. Thanks a lot to those who saved this piece of architecture from a destruction along with the Pittock Mansion.
@@Rosarium2007 @ygagarin5572 Then there's the story of the man who sold the Pioneer Courthouse lot for $200 and was laughing all the way to the bank speculating they'd never build out that far.
I love seeing old buildings kept alive.
The stone for the original part of the courthouse came from the quarry on the Snake River that was owned by my Great-grandfather and his brothers.

I think the Meier&Frank City center lot stood there actually, but I could be wrong...😁
@@nunyabizness199 the M&F parking lot came after the Portland Hotel and before Pioneer Courthouse Square.

It is documented in Judge Deady's own diary as to when the building was built and the complaints of citizens that it was too far from the Willamette.
