Pittock Block

The Pittock Block is a building in downtown Portland, Oregon, occupying a city block between SW 9th and 10th Avenues, SW Stark and Washington Streets, and west of O'Bryant Square. The site originally was the home of Henry L. Pittock, Portland's major newspaper tycoon. Pittock was preparing to move into the Pittock Mansion and leased the entire block to a California investor with the requirement that a "worthy" building named after Pittock would be built on the site. Since 1987, it has been on the National Register of Historic Places. The Pittock Block is home to the Pittock Internet Exchange (NWAX), Portland's Internet exchange point. Other tenants of the Pittock Block include City Club of Portland, administrative offices of Oregon...
