The Hallock–McMillan Building, also known as the Hallock and McMillan Building,[1] is the first and oldest commercial brick building in downtown Portland, Oregon, in the United States.[2] The building was designed by Absalom Hallock and completed in 1857. It is adjacent to the Fechheimer & White Building.[3]
Description and history
Built in 1857, the Hallock–McMillan Building is downtown Portland's first and oldest commercial brick building, according to the Architectural Heritage Center, a preservation advocacy non-profit organization. The building was designed by Absalom Hallock, the "city's first architect", on behalf of the San Francisco Bay Area's Phoenix Iron Works.[2]
In 2010, Portland developer John Russell purchased the building for $700,000.[1] In 2011, Russell announced his plans to restore the building's exterior to its original appearance. Plans include three "graceful" Romanesque-style cast iron arches on the first floor and partial arches above the second floor's windows.[2] Exterior renovation plans must be approved by the Portland Historic Landmarks Commission.[2]
