South Park Blocks, Pettygrove and Lovejoy Fountain Parks, and Tom McCall Waterfront Park
Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Portland Art Museum, and Oregon Historical Society Museum
Portland City Hall, Multnomah County Central Courthouse, the Portland Building, Pioneer Courthouse, and Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse
