Pittock Block, Historic commercial building in downtown Portland, United States

The Pittock Block stands eight stories tall with decorative terra cotta accents and large arched windows at 921 SW Washington Street in Portland.

Construction of the Pittock Block began in 1913 under architect Thomas K. McClelland, replacing the former residence of newspaper publisher Henry Pittock.

The building represents early 20th-century architectural trends through its combination of Romanesque and Renaissance design elements in Portland's urban landscape.

The structure contains three underground levels, including a substation, and offers multiple commercial spaces across its eight floors for various businesses.

Since 2002, the Pittock Block functions as one of the largest internet exchange facilities in the United States within its historic walls.
