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.
