Historic Property Offering Glisan Building Downtown Portland’s Iconic Glisan Building Goes on the Market Chris Crabb - Crabbsoup PR The two-story Glisan Building offers 9,000-square-feet plus a basement. It has been seismically upgraded, has a modern elevator, and breaks up well for two tenants. The building has been lovingly and passionately restored and maintained by its current owners, the McAleese Family of Portland. Built in 1889 and named after Dr. Rodney L. Glisan, the building features Queen Anne Italianate style architecture with a flat roof line, pedimented doors, projecting eaves and tall, arch-headed windows. It is famous for being the last structure in Portland to use cast-iron pilasters and columns. Portland is home to the second largest collection of cast-iron architecture in the United States, just behind New York City’s historic Soho District. Currently home to the renowned Kells Irish Restaurant and Pub, the building has been in the McAleese Family since 1990. The upstairs originally served as the offices for Dr. Glisan, while the main floor hosted a creamery. It also served as a location for Chown Electric Supply Co. in the 1960s. The building is a City of Portland Historic Landmark within the Portland Skidmore/Old Town Historic District, which was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977 for its historic importance as a major 19th century West Coast port and for its collection of cast-iron commercial architecture.

  • Greeting Cards, Postcards, Notepads, Magnets and More
    iambibby catalog 2019 artwork by Christopher bibby Hello and welcome to our 2019 catalog! We design affordable, locally made, high quality greeting cards, postcards, notepads, magnets and more. All of our products feature the art and imagery of Oregon artist Christopher Bibby. Chris’s art acts as a powerful reminder of the beauty of nature. Our goal at iambibby is to help people connect to and share this beauty with each other through our functional, unique products. We also offer journals, calendars, stickers and coasters made by responsible partners in California and china. Christopher’s story My career as an artist began in Glasgow, Scotland in 1997. I was a shy 20 year old boy living on my sister’s couch, working in a coffee shop in the artsy west-end of town. A co-worker saw some of the sketches I had done of Glasgow and said I could help her paint some signs at a local restaurant. I was terrified but went along and did my best. It ended up being a turning point in my life. For two weeks I was paid to draw and paint. It felt like a miracle. This experience led to an epiphany in the form of a question: “What if I could get paid to learn how to paint?” Back at the coffee shop this question consumed me for a week and then compelled me to quit my job. I had no money, no connections, no experience, no materials and no plan but I did have a dream. That dream made a lot more sense to me than my current path of drifting from job to job without true purpose.

This leafy metropolis has become THE place to eat – a culinary hotspot, thanks largely to its location in bountiful northern Oregon. The state’s wet winters and balmy summers nurture a boggling variety of produce, including meat and crops from the rugged plains out east, and ample seafood from the Pacific to the west. What doesn’t grow here, friendly neighbour California generously supplies. It’s no surprise that chefs and producers are heading to Portland to make their mark. It’s like a throwback to the pioneering spirit of the Oregon Trail era, when Americans packed their covered wagons and rolled on out here in search of greener pastures. These days, the wagons have given way to food trucks, now numbering more than 600, and the burgeoning street-food scene is now embraced as part of the city’s culture.
