Historical Tour of Congress Square

Architectural Historian Scott Hanson will provide a dynamic look at the history of Congress Square. From churches and mansions to streetcars, hotels, museums, and plazas – this important intersection has been an epicenter of downtown Portland’s evolving development for more than two centuries. The half-hour tour starts inside SPACE Gallery with an illustrated talk and then finishes outside in Congress Square. Two tours are offered: 12:30PM and 6:00PM. Sponsored by the City of Portland Planning & Economic Development Department.
