- Description
- National Register of Historic Places (Listed, 2015), Washington High School is located in Southeast Portland, within Portland’s Buckman neighborhood. The four-story, Classical Revival school was designed by the Portland architecture firm of Houghtaling & Dougan and constructed in 1923-24. The school is significant for the role it played in the development of the city’s eastside communities. It was designed to respond to Portland’s need for expanded school facilities; growing concerns around health and safety (with a particular focus on fire prevention); and school designs that offered optimal learning environments as espoused by education experts at the time. The concrete school, which is faced with red brick and finished with terracotta moldings and details, was designed specifically for increased fire protection, as the previous school on the site burned in 1922. Decorative details can be found across the building’s exterior, including bas relief panels, engaged brick pilasters, lions heads, caryatid heads, and inspirational quotes. The progressive school provided technical training and included science laboratories and a 830-seat auditorium, in addition to classrooms. The building ceased functioning as a high school in 1981, but was used for social services by Portland Public Schools until they sold the building in 2013. It has now been rehabilitated and re-opened as a commercial and retail space and performance venue. Source: Oregon State Historic Preservation Office.
