Portland Building

The Portland Building is a fifteen-story office building in downtown Portland, Oregon designed by Michael Graves and opened in 1980.

The building is located at 1120 SW 5th Avenue and houses municipal offices of the City of Portland.

Graves' controversial building, with its distinctive block-like design and square windows, has become an icon of postmodern architecture.

In 1985, the building was adorned by addition of the statue Portlandia above the front entrance.
