Looking North on Sixth Street, Portland - 1900

This unusual photo shows a side view of the 1890 Hotel Portland on the left. Most photographs look into the courtyard, between the two wings of the building.

The foreground cross street is Yamhill; the next cross street is Morrison. The Pioneer Courthouse grounds are across Sixth Street to the right. The 1892 Oregonian Building, with its tower, is in the left background. At 154 feet high, it was the tallest building in Portland until 1911.
