Building History
Theodore Burney Wilcox (1856-1918), who made a fortune in banking, commissioned the Portland firm of Whidden and Lewis, to design this office property. Its scale, structure and styling closely resemble the Stevens Building also by Whidden and Lewis.
Building Notes
This building, like almost all tall buildings built on the West Coast after the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, had a steel frame.
Architect Frederick S. Allerton leased Room #715 of the Wilcox Building in 1913. (See Polk's Portland, Oregon City Directory, 1913, p. 1449.)
