International Harvester Company Warehouse

The International Harvester Company Warehouse is a brick structure with industrial design typical of early 1900s manufacturing buildings. Its sturdy design with large window openings and loading docks shows how the space was built to move heavy equipment efficiently.

The warehouse was built in 1912 as a distribution point for farm machinery. It served as a key hub for supplying farmers across the Pacific Northwest during a period when farming was becoming more mechanized.

The building shows how machines changed farming in America and what role Portland played in supplying farmers across the region. Visitors can see how the factory was part of daily life and the economic development of the area.

The building is located on Taylor Street in Southeast Portland and can be viewed from the outside. Information about accessing or studying the structure can be found through its listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

The loading openings and large windows remain original from 1912. These features show how workers handled the daily movement of massive machinery and equipment in and out of the building.
