The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, highlighting its significance in Portland's commercial history.
The district features a distinctive street grid pattern that was designed to accommodate horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles.
The district's proximity to the Willamette River made it a bustling hub for shipping and trade in the late 1800s.
