Building Notes
The State of OR's Parks and Recreation Department website said of the Alco Apartments: "The 1912 Alco Apartments building, located at the northern end of the central east side of Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, has local significance under Criterion A in Commerce. The building is significant for its association with the streetcar-related commercial development and linked residential development of Portland's Central Eastside and retains a good degree of integrity. The period of significance begins with the building's construction in 1912 and extends through 1958 when the last streetcar, the interurban service between Oregon City and Portland, was terminated."
