Marquam Building
''This article is about the demolished Marquam Building formerly at the corner of SW 6th Avenue and Morrison Street in Portland, Oregon, not the Marquam Building at 2501 SW 1st Avenue. The demolished building was replaced by the American Bank Building.''
The Marquam Building was an eight-story, Romanesque Revival office building in Portland, Oregon, United States. Named for Philip Augustus Marquam, the building has been called Portland's first skyscraper and first modern office building. The building resembled a structure designed by Seattle architect John Parkinson and Pennsylvania architect John B. Hamme as an entry in the Portland Chamber of Commerce design competition of 1890.〔An illustration from the September 20, 1890, edition of ''The American Architect and Building News'', page 181, and brief description from page 187, is cited in 〕
==History==
Philip Augustus Marquam acquired the lot at the corner of SW Sixth and Morrison from William W. Chapman in 1854 as payment of $500 in legal fees. Marquam resided on the property and constructed other dwellings, but in the late 1880s he began planning the Marquam Grand Opera House and the Marquam Building, adjoining structures that would cost him $600,000.〔 〕
