The district is located in Township 29, Range 29, Section 5, in Multnomah County. There are 17.46 acres within the district. The majority of buildings within the district are used commercially or industrially, however, some buildings also contain residential units. There are 45 buildings, two features and five vacant properties within the district. There are buildings by notable Portland architects within the district which date from the historic period, 1880-1943. There are 14 buildings dating from the primary period of significance (1880-1909), 15 buildings dating from the secondary period (1910-1943),9 historic non-contributing buildings, 4 compatible non­ contributing buildings, 3 non-compatible non-contributing buildings, and 5 vacant lots. There are also two features within the district, the Simon Building facade, dating from the primary period, and the Chinatown Gateway, constructed after the historic period. The district is significant under criterion A for its historical associations. I i SETTING I1· I Portland's Chinatown Historic District is situated on the west side of the Willamette River, in the commercial and industrial center of the City, between the Glisan Street ramp to the Steel Bridge on I the north, and the Burnside Street Bridge ramp on the south. The Skidmore-Old Town Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, borders the eastern edge of the I I district. The districts overlap from W Burnside to NW Davis Streets, to mid-block between NW' t Third and NW Fourth Avenues. There are 10 properties contained within both the Chinatown Historic District and the Skidmore-Old Town Historic District. The Chinatown Historic District t: contains commercial, warehouse and residential uses. 1 The district is in Couch's Addition to the City of Portland, recorded August 24, 1845. The area was first developed into 200' x 200' blocks, with the east - west streets 60' wide and the north - south streets 80' wide. This area of Portland was first developed with small wooden residences and warehouses. The orientation of these buildings, as most of the early buildings in Portland, was toward the river and water related activities (Space. Style and Structure, p.184). In the 1870's, after a , series of fires, many of the wooden buildings were replaced with brick and cast iron buildings. Small residences were replaced by hotels and boarding houses. Beginning in the 1870's, the railroad changed the focus of the City's development to a financial and manufacturing center. This resulted in growth in northwest Portland, including the Chinatown Historic District. A spur line of the II Oregon Central Railroad Company appears along NW 4th. Avenue on the Sanborn Fire Insurance Company maps of the district in 1879. The Oregon Central tracks were laid from Portland to Salem by December 1876 (Empire of the Columbia p. 309). The relationship between the railroad and commercial buildings within the district was strengthened in 1896 when Union Station was completed just north of the district. The Portland Oregonian in January 1890 described Portland as "the trade center for the Northwest, with a combination of rail lines and seagoing vessels." LU 21-029602 DM AD Exh.
