National Register of Historic Places listings in Northwest Portland, Oregon

The following list attempts to comprehensively present the full set of National Register of Historic Places listings in Northwest Portland, Oregon, and offers brief descriptive information about each of them. The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) recognizes buildings, structures, objects, sites, and districts of national, state, or local historic significance across the United States.[1] Out of over 80,000 NRHP sites nationwide,[2] Oregon is home to approximately 1,900,[3] and over one-fourth of those are found in Portland. While these sites are widely spread across all five of Portland's quadrants, heavy concentrations are found in the Northwest District neighborhood of the Northwest quadrant, and the Downtown and Southwest Hills neighborhoods of the Southwest quadrant.

Only NRHP sites within the municipal boundaries of Portland are shown in this list and its companion lists for the other four quadrants. Some sites beyond city limits will appear in other lists showing "Portland" as a general locality, but are excluded here. Although Portland's legal boundaries extend into Clackamas and Washington counties, all of the city's NRHP sites lie within Multnomah County.

This National Park Service list is complete through NPS recent listings posted December 30, 2011.[4]
