Ladd School - Portland Oregon

Long gone downtown school. Once located on the Park Blocks. Architecture and snow..... An awesome combination!

Christian Brothers Business College - Portland, OR


I'm not sure what year it was built or when it was lost but this wonderful building once stood at the corner of NE Grand and NE Clackamas. Today it is the parking lot for my dentist.
