United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Mallory Hotel Multnomah County, Oregon Section number 7 Page 1 Overview The 1912 Mallory Hotel is located at 729 SW 15th Avenue in near-southwest Portland, Oregon. Specifically, it is located on Lots 3 and 4 of Block 317 in the City of Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. The hotel was built in 1912 as a "family hotel," designed by Portland architect Hans Hanselmann for former Oregon Congressman, Speaker of the House, and pioneer attorney Rufus Mallory. The 8-story hotel is a reinforced concrete structure. It may be categorized as LATE 19th AND EARLY 20th CLASSICAL REVIVAL - Neo-Classical Revival Style. Setting: The building is located in the Stadium District west of downtown Portland. Once part of the west end of downtown defined largely by early 20th century apartments, hotels and civic buildings, the district was separated from downtown in the 1970s by the construction of 1-405. It is adjacent to and north of the Goose Hollow neighborhood and south and east of the Nob Hill neighborhood. The Mallory is one block west of 1-405, and two blocks east of PGE Park outdoor sports stadium. Two blocks to the north is Burnside, the only east-west arterial that spans the breadth of the city. Two blocks to the south is the 8-acre Lincoln High School campus with a student body 1500. Today, the area is a transitional mix of apartment buildings, generally to the south, and small destination retail and office buildings and civic buildings to the north. Major nearby
