Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse, just a few years old when this photo was taken circa 1875, is now the oldest federal building in the Pacific Northwest. This east elevation view shows the intersection of SW 5th and Yamhill, the streets still unpaved. Central School, now the site of Pioneer Courthouse Square, stands in the background.
ahhh…car-free…the way it should be
