>Yes, you are right. Portland Oregon is in Multnomah County. It is the largest city and seat of the county. The Weatherly Building is located at 516 SE Morrison, Portland, Oregon 97214. It's not exactly in a part of town that you would be wandering around in. There are a lot of businesses. It is about five blocks from the Willamette River on the east of the river. Some of those buildings in that part of town are apartments for low income people. Don't know if there were any people that the building was named for but it probably came about that way. If someone had a book about the history of Portland it would tell you. Hope this tells you something.< Boy, you sound like someone from the 'burbs. I happen to pass the Weatherly building to and from my way to work every day - in fact, live 8 blocks from it. Guess I'll have to be more careful now that I know I live in a bad part of town! : ) The building is not all that old - so I don't know it'd have all that much historical significance. The building is listed in the 1930 City Directory - George W. Weatherly (see listed below) is probably for whom the building was named. He lived in Laurelhurst (a more posh area), was chairman of the board of Dir Western Dairy Products Co, president of Crystal Ice & Stage Co., vice-resident The Citizens National Bank, and of Jones Weatherly & Co. Clayton W. Weatherly was sec-treas of Jones Weatherly & Co. - and is listed at the "building office". In the 12-story building are (among others) the Crystal Ice & Stage Co., lots of attorney, real estate, the Portland Bulletin (a weekly paper), the Pacific Woodmen Life Associiation, KTBR Radio Broadcasting Station, Carnation Milk Products. The 10th floor housed the Weatherly Building Surgical Hosptial - the upper floors seem to be populated by lots of dentists, physicians, orthodontists, etc. I have a list here of the biographical sketches that were done in those "mug books" around the turn of the century, and find the following Weatherly's listed: Fred S. Weatherly (b.1869) George W. Weatherly -- sketch is in "History of the Columbia River Valley >From The Dalles to the Sea", written by Fred Lockley, and published 1928. Hiram Weatherly (b.1838) James A. Weatherly Julie JulieKidd@compuserve.com http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JulieKidd/
