- Note
- Orignally named the Nortonia Hotel, then the Danmoore Hotel, Edgar Lazarus named this residential apartment building and hotel the Ramapo Hotel in 1909. Lazarus owned the property. The assignment of Franklin Hotel as the historic name of this building is an error. The names 'Nortonia" and 'Danmoore' were later used for other hotels. This hotel is an example of apartment houses and hotels built after the Lewis and Clark Exposition of 1905 during a decade when Portland's population grew exponentially. Teague, Edward H.
