The Oregonian Printing Press Park

The Oregonian Printing Press Park, Urban park at Southwest First Avenue and Morrison Street, Portland, United States.

The Oregonian Printing Press Park is a triangular 1,000-square-foot green space at the southeastern corner of Southwest First Avenue and Morrison Street in downtown Portland. It marks the spot where editor Thomas J. Dryer ran a small press to publish Portland's weekly newspaper starting December 4, 1850.

Thomas J. Dryer began publishing Portland's weekly newspaper on a small press at this corner on December 4, 1850; the paper later became The Oregonian. The triangular plot was set aside to mark that first printing site in what is now downtown Portland.

The park's name comes from the press Thomas J. Dryer used to start the Weekly Oregonian on December 4, 1850; the paper became The Oregonian. The 1,000-square-foot triangle at Southwest First Avenue and Morrison Street is a spot to look for the ground where that weekly was printed.

The park sits at a busy intersection downtown, making it easy to visit while walking through the city center. The informational signs are visible from the street, so you can read them without needing to enter a building.
