The Telegram Building is a historic building in Portland, Oregon. It was constructed in 1922,[2] several years after The Evening Telegram newspaper had been purchased by John E. and L. R. Wheeler.[3] The Telegram was a newspaper founded in 1877 by Henry L. Pittock; it merged in 1931 with the Portland News, creating the Portland News-Telegram, which ceased publishing in 1939.
The red brick and terra-cotta structure culminates in a colonial-style clock tower.[4]
A major renovation was completed in 2004, renovating the building to accommodate multi-tenant office space. The renovation added two floors of underground parking, office space upstairs, and a penthouse (also office space) behind the clock tower. The Telegram Building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[2]
