The Portland Yamhill Historic District, located in downtown Portland, Oregon, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]

From 1914 to 1934, the area included part of the Carroll Public Market.

The area covered, between the commercial center of Portland and the Willamette River, is within a 22-block section destroyed in the Great Fire of 1873; it includes the Northrup and Blossom-Fitch Building (1858) from before the fire. Rebuilding after the fire got into "full swing" in 1878; the district includes 17 Italianate-style buildings built between 1878 and 1887.[3]:7
