City of Portland - Planning & Development
Chapman Building
473-477
Herbert W. Rhodes designed the classical revival Chapman Building, which was built on the site of the Preble House Hotel.
Verticality was seen as the emerging shape of the 20th-century city. For Portland, the 1929 stock market crash and Great Depression stopped the progress.
In 1962 the Chapman Bank – now known as the Time and Temperature Building – gained two more stories. It was not until the 1970s that more tall buildings were added to Portland's landscape.
