Italian Gardeners and Ranchers Association Market Building
Italian Gardeners and Ranchers Association Market Building

The Italian Gardeners and Ranchers Association Market Building, also known as the Italian Market, in southeast Portland, Oregon in the U.S. is a two-story commercial structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built of concrete in 1922, it was added to the register in 1989.Occupying an entire block of the Central Eastside Industrial District, the square structure has a flat roof, large loading bays, multi-paned casement windows, and a full basement. The building, originally catering to farmers and peddlers of Italian origin, housed produce-related stores, a pool hall, meeting halls, a dairy-product area, and two Italian restaurants. Later the building was reorganized for use by three businesses, two on the first floor and one on the second, as well as office space on the second floor.The Italian Gardeners and Ranchers Association formed around 1900 after many Italian immigrants to Portland had settled near Johns Landing on the west bank of the Willamette River and south of Hawthorne Boulevard on the east bank, where it was possible to establish truck farms on inexpensive land. The Association initially set up in a run-down building on the west side of the river but moved to the east side, where it constructed a two-story wooden market building in what came to be known as "produce row". After the wooden building was destroyed by fire in 1921, the Association replaced it with the concrete structure at the same location. In 1929, the Association moved, this time to a larger building at Belmont Street and Southeast 10th Avenue, part of a second "produce row" in southeast Portland.

Auto Freight Transport Building of Oregon and Washington
Auto Freight Transport Building of Oregon and Washington

The Auto Freight Transport Building of Oregon and Washington, also known as East Side Terminal and Eastbank Commerce Center, in southeast Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon is a four-story commercial structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1924, it was added to the register in 2005.Occupying an entire block of the Central Eastside Industrial District, the 64,892-square-foot (6,028.7 m2), U-shaped structure has a flat roof, large industrial windows, and a plain interior with concrete floors and walls. The original building, an open warehouse with a few offices on the second floor, has since been divided into spaces for light industry, business, and office work.The original building was part of an industrial complex that developed on the east bank of the Willamette River in the early 20th century. As Portland grew, freight shipments delivered to receiving stations on the river's west side were slowed by heavy traffic on the city's bridges and in the central downtown. Pressure from business owners and civic groups over two decades led to construction of a central eastside receiving station, the Auto Freight Transport Building. The building, served by huge river docks located about 100 feet (30 m) to the west and by rail lines and surface streets, was capable of handling and storing a wide variety of cargo for transhipment to its ultimate destination. In addition, many small freight companies used it for office and lounge space for their employees.The Auto Freight Transportation Association of Oregon and Washington, a group of small trucking companies, operated the terminal jointly until 1938, when the group changed its name to East Side Terminal, Inc., and moved to another building in the Central Eastside Industrial District. Subsequently, the building became a warehouse used by a variety of freight companies.The Auto Freight Transport Building had a small built-in service station. However, around 1930 an adjunct building called the Auto Freight Terminal Service Station, across Southeast Water Avenue, was constructed to provide fuel and mechanical repairs to vehicles using the Transport Building. It continued to function as a service station until the early 1940s.In 1964, relocation of Interstate 5 from the west bank of the Willamette to the east led to removal of the docks and other waterfront structures of the industrial district and demolition of many old industrial buildings. The Auto Freight Transport Building is the best-preserved historic waterfront building in the 680-acre (280 ha) district.
