Jackson Tower Portland Oregon

The Jackson Tower is a historic 12 story office building in downtown Portland,Oregon. It was built in 1912 and was formerly The Oregon Journal Newspaper Building.

It is a structure that is a bit amiss among the modern buildings that surround it. When it was built the builders used glazed terra cotta as the exterior sheathing over the building's steel frame.

The terra-cotta glaze contributed to keeping the building fireproof through the years. Over the years, the interior has been renovated and has been turned into office space.

The image has been converted to a digital painting that I hope you enjoy. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!
