Cathedral Park is both a park and subsequent neighborhood in the northernmost section of Portland, Oregon on the east shore of the Willamette River. The park is situated under the St. Johns Bridge, and was given its name due to the Gothic arches that support the bridge, which resemble a cathedral arch. ==History== The St. Johns Bridge connects the neighborhood to the Linnton and Northwest Industrial neighborhoods in Northwest Portland across the Willamette. In addition to these neighborhoods, Cathedral Park is bordered by St. Johns on the northeast and University Park on the southeast. The 1911 Sanborn Map Index for the City of St. Johns, Oregon shows that the Cathedral Park neighborhood was part of the original City of St. Johns prior to annexation by Portland in 1915.〔(Portland Communities )〕 The neighborhood is named after its most prominent landmark, the city park also called Cathedral Park,〔(http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?action=ViewPark&PropertyID=97 ) ''Portlandonline.com''〕 which in turn is named after the cathedral-like columns of the St. Johns Bridge it surrounds. In August 1949, a fifteen-year-old girl named Thelma Taylor was kidnapped and murdered under the bridge in the space where the park now exists. According to local folklore, due to this, the park is supposedly haunted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cathedral Park, Portland, Oregon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
