Overview

In 1957, hotel manager Harry Heathman operated two hotels in Downtown Portland, OR, the Park Heathman at 731 SW Salmon Street, and the New Heathman at 712 SW Salmon Street. (See Portland, Oregon, City Directory, 1957, p. 66.)

Building History

Hotel owner George Heathman spent about $1 million to erect this 300-room, 11-story hotel, originally catering to a wealthy clientele. Due to the success of this venture, Heathman erected the New Heathman Hotel one block away in 1927. It stood one story lower.

In 2020, Harsch Investment Properties operated the Park Tower Apartments for low-income seniors and disabled residents of Portland.
