Capitol Center (Salem, Oregon)

The Capitol Center is a high-rise office building in downtown Salem, Oregon, United States. Finished in 1927, it was originally known as the First National Bank Building and owned by Salem businessman Thomas A. Livesley. The eleven story building was designed by architect Leigh L. Dougan and is the tallest office building in Salem. Located at State and Liberty streets it is part of Salem's downtown historic district and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as the Old First National Bank Building. History Thomas Livesley who had made his fortune in hops, hired Leigh L. Dougan to design a skyscraper to be built in Salem. At the time, Livesley was the vice president of the Oregon Linen Mills, with Livesley financing the project. Construction began in July 1926 by Hammond & Hammond Company. Named the First National Bank Building, it opened at the beginning of 1927. Livesley was the incorporator of the bank in 1923. When it opened the building was controversial with some describing it as unattractive while others calling it a monument. Thomas Livesley died in 1947 and the building was then renamed in his honor as the Livesley Building, and later changed to the Cascade Bank Building. On October 9, 1986, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The tower was renovated by then owners Morse Brothers, Inc. from 1987 to 1988 and then renamed to its current moniker of the Capitol Center. They would sell the building for $3.1 million to the investor group Salem Gargoyle in January 1997. In April 2003, the building was purchased by Roger Yost for $4.65 million, after he had already purchased the nearby Reed Opera House. Also known as the Capitol Tower, parts of the high-rise were remodeled by Yost, including the installation of new elevators and refurbishing the seventh floor. Details Located on State Street in downtown Salem, the structure rises 151 feet (46 m) to the top of its parapet wall, and contains eleven floors. Classified as the only high-rise building in Salem, it is the third tallest building in the city after the Salem First United Methodist Church (188 feet tall) and the Oregon State Capitol (173 feet tall). Capitol Center is 164 feet (50 m) tall as measured to the top of its tallest antenna. Constructed of a reinforced concrete frame, the exterior walls are lined with a Florentine sandstone that is light pink in color. The exterior includes decorative gargoyles and heads at the top. The fifth floor is considered historic and retains its original look, including doors made from mahogany. There is a total of 49,700 square feet (4,620 m2) of usable floor space in the building.

Capitol Hill Library

The Capitol Hill Library is a branch of the Multnomah County Library, in the West Portland Park neighborhood of Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon. The branch offers the Multnomah County Library catalog of two million books, periodicals and other materials. Capitol Hill and the Holgate branch are of a similar design. History Until the 1960s, Portland's system of public libraries relied heavily on the downtown Central Library supplemented by small collections at many locations in outlying neighborhoods . As population densities changed, the library board responded by establishing larger collections in fewer locations and creating new branch libraries. From 1967 through 1969, the board worked to establish a new branch near Capitol Hill in the West Portland Park neighborhood. The architectural plan was the same as that of the Holgate Library. Although the library opened part-time for a month in early 1972, it did not open officially until December 5, 1972, aided by federal revenue sharing funds. Budget crises affected the library through the 1970s and early 1980s, and Capitol Hill sometimes operated on reduced hours and book budgets through 1984. In that year, voters approved a three-year serial levy (tax) to help fund the library system. Subsequent temporary levies supported the system through November 2012, when voters approved a permanent levy. In 1996, Multnomah County voters passed a bond measure to renovate some branches and to upgrade technology across the system. Closed for renovation in mid-1998, Capitol Hill reopened on February 16, 1999. The architect on the original building was Allen, McMath and Hawkins, and the renovation architect was Thomas Hacker and Associates. Capitol Hill has a floor area of 6,060 square feet (563 m2) with a capacity of 20,000 volumes. A community garden was added in 2017, and interior removations took place in 2023–2024.

Cascade Station

Cascade Station is a mixed-use development of a shopping center, office buildings, and hotels located in Northeast Portland, Oregon, along Airport Way and I-205, near Portland International Airport. It features 1,325,000 square feet (123,100 m2) of office space, 1,200 hotel rooms and 400,000 square feet (37,000 m2) of retail space, on 120-acre (0.49 km2) land. Cascade Station was proposed in 2001. Because of the timing of the project's announcement (September 10, 2001) and the recession that followed, the project stalled for several years and the streets built for it remained mostly empty. In 2005, IKEA signed on as the shopping center's first tenant giving the project the boost it needed for construction to begin. The 280,000-square-foot (26,000 m2) IKEA store opened on July 25, 2007.

Cascadia County Park

Cascadia County Park (formerly Cascadia State Park) is a park in the U.S. state of Oregon near Sweet Home along the South Santiam River at Cascadia. The park includes a day use area, campsites, hiking trails and 150 foot Lower Soda Creek Falls. History Prior to settlers arriving, groups from the Molalla and Kalapuya tribes visited the park site to harvest huckleberries, fish and hunt. Cascadia Cave is nearby. The cave is an 8,000-year-old American Indian petroglyph site considered to have the largest concentration of rock engravings in western Oregon. Willamette Valley settlers developed a bypass at the park site for horse-drawn wagons. Old wagon ruts are still visible near where Soda Creek meets the South Santiam River. In 1896, George Geisendorfer opened a resort to capitalize on what he called the "curative powers" of Soda Creek's mineral spring water. The resort included a hotel, tennis courts, croquet course, garden and bowling alley. The hotel later burned and the property was acquired by the state of Oregon in 1940. Cascadia was a State Park until September 2022, when ownership was transferred to Linn County, Oregon which had been managing the park for the previous 3 years. Hiking trails Cascadia County Park includes two primary hiking trails. The one mile Soda Creek Falls Trail follows Soda Creek to Lower Soda Creek Falls. The 3/4 mile loop River Trail descends to the South Santiam River. Flora A forest canopy of Douglas-Fir, cedar and hemlock shades the ground, encouraging the growth of ferns, mosses and mushroom species. Wildflowers include Oregon trout lily, fairy slipper, western trillium, camas, fawn lily, Hooker's fairy bells, snow queen, false Solomon's-seal, stream violet, Oregon Iris and Pacific bleeding heart.

Каскадія (парк)

Каскадія (англ. Cascadia State Park) — державний парк в американському штаті Орегон, розташований поблизу міста Світ-Гоум вздовж річки Південний Сантіам у місті Каскейдія. Парк включає зону для денного відпочинку, кемпінги, туристичні стежки та водоспад Нижній Сода-Крік. Історія До приходу поселенців територію парку відвідували представники племен Молала та Калапуйя, які збирали тут лохину, рибалили та полювали. Поблизу розташована печера Каскадія, археологічна пам’ятка віком 8000 років, відома найбільшою концентрацією петрогліфів у західному Орегоні. Поселенці з долини Вілламетт створили на території парку об’їзну дорогу для возів, запряжених кіньми. Сліди старих колій досі видно поблизу місця, де Сода-Крік впадає в річку Південний Сантіам. У 1896 році Джордж Гайзендорфер відкрив курорт, щоб скористатися «цілющими властивостями» мінеральної води Сода-Крік. Курорт включав готель, тенісні корти, поле для крокету, сад і боулінг. Пізніше готель згорів, а в 1940 році територію придбав штат Орегон. Туристичні стежки Парк Каскадія включає дві основні туристичні стежки. Стежка водоспадів Сода-Крік довжиною в одну милю йде вздовж Сода-Крік до водоспаду Нижній Сода-Крік. Річкова стежка довжиною 3/4 милі спускається до річки Південний Сантьям. Доступ Парк розташований вздовж траси США 20, за 14 миль на схід від Світ-Гоум і за 59 миль на захід від міста Сістерс. Галерея Примітки
Cedar Hills Crossing

Cedar Hills Crossing, formerly Beaverton Mall, is a retail shopping center in the city of Beaverton, Oregon, United States. The center is notable in that it was the prior site of a historic airport, Bernard's Airport, where many of the early aircraft innovations of the 1920s and 1930s occurred. Cedar Hills Crossing has been in operation since 1969, and is located approximately between the intersection of SW Cedar Hills Boulevard and Walker Road and the intersection of SW Cedar Hills Boulevard and Hall Boulevard. The current name was adopted in September 2002 when C.E. John Company began the redevelopment of the Mall. Three extra mall entrances, new building facades and 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) of new retail space was involved in the redevelopment, including new restaurants and interior designs. History Prior to the mall's construction, the site was a small airport known as Bernard's Airport. An underground chemical release at the site was discovered in the 1980s. Considerable analysis of this release, along with other on site environmental factors, has been conducted to provide for safety of mall patrons and area residents. At least through the period 1970 to 1990 (the interval when the release occurred) the center functioned in compliance with most local governmental standards for environmental regulation. The mall's name was changed to Cedar Hills Crossing in the last stages of renovations and expansion that began in September 2002. In 2003, tenants and operators of the mall were successful in removing from the city's local street master plan a proposed Fairfield Street–Terman Road connection that would have cut through the shopping center's site. A new 16-screen movie theatre was opened by Century Theatres in November 2004, and a food court was added at around the same time. Since 2006, the shopping center has included a branch of Powell's Books. In 2016, developer C.E. John Co. announced a five-year, five-phase $70 million redevelopment plan for the center. Following this plan, sister company J.E. John Co. has developed 11 new retail buildings, alongside a two story concrete parking structure.

Celilo Converter Station

The Celilo Converter Station, built in 1970 and owned and operated by the Bonneville Power Administration, is the northern terminus of the Pacific DC Intertie, near The Dalles, Oregon, in the United States. History The Celilo Converter Station was originally configured with six groups of six-pulse mercury arc valves with a blocking voltage of 133 kV each (for a total of ±400 kV) and a maximum current of 2,000 amperes. 1985 Two six-pulse valve groups of thyristors were added in 1985, to increase the voltage to 500 kV per pole for a total differential voltage of 1,000 kV. 1989 Two new 1,100 ampere, 500 kV thyristor converters were added, in 1989, in parallel with the two existing converters, giving a total transmission power of 3,100 Megawatts (3,100 A at ±500 kV). For this extension a new converter hall was built at the southern side of the station at 45.593816°N 121.112490°W﻿ / 45.593816; -121.112490﻿ (Converter hall of extension of HVDC Pacific Intertie). 2001 Security concerns in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the U.S. led to the Celilo Converter Station closing to the general public. It previously had included informative displays describing the history of DC transmission and the Pacific Intertie. 2004 The mercury arc valve groups were all replaced in 2004 with light-triggered thyristor groups, to eliminate the environmental risks of mercury and to reduce the maintenance costs of the obsolete mercury arc valves. 2016 The new Celilo Converter Station went into service in January 2016 after the entire terminal had been replaced with a new two-converter terminal rated ±560 kV 3410 A (3800 MW), while the Oregon section of the transmission line was upgraded to ±520 kV and 3,220 MW. Related structures There was also a DC test facility for testing high voltage equipment nearby (now abandoned, soon to be demolished). At the end of the 1960s, a test transmission line for 1,333 kV was erected at 45.482792°N 120.814097°W﻿ / 45.482792; -120.814097﻿ (1333 kV DC Line). The facility was built to test the high voltage DC equipment intended for a planned connection between Celilo Converter Station and Hoover Dam that never was built.

Center Street Bridge (Salem, Oregon)

The Center Street Bridge is a road bridge located in Salem, Oregon, United States. It spans the Willamette River, connecting West Salem and Oregon Route 22 to Salem. It carries vehicle traffic eastbound from Route 22 and directly from Wallace Road. Traffic exits onto Center Street directly, and onto Front Street via a pair of northbound and southbound off-ramps. The current bridge structure, opened in 1984, replaced the previous bridge on this site that was built in 1918. History Various crossings have existed on the site of the Center Street Bridge over the years. The previous bridge, opened in 1918 and replaced a steel bridge that had been built in 1891, initially carried two-way vehicle traffic. It was later switched to eastbound-only when the westbound-only Marion Street Bridge opened in 1954. The 1918 bridge was reconstructed in 1983 after the completion of a widening project from two to four lanes on the Marion Street Bridge. The current structure carries four eastbound vehicular travel lanes and a multi-use path.

Central Catholic High School (Portland, Oregon)

Central Catholic High School is a Catholic college prep school located in Portland, Oregon. It is the only archdiocesan high school in the Archdiocese of Portland. History Central Catholic was founded in 1934 by Archbishop Edward Howard as a diocesan high school for boys. In 1930, St. Mary's Cemetery was closed and the interments were relocated, mostly to Mount Calvary, and Central Catholic High School was built on the site of the old cemetery. During the Great Depression, Central Catholic High School recruited players from all over the Portland metro area and faced significant challenges in securing funding to build the high school. However, Archbishop Howard visited all of the Portland parishes to raise funding, and a carnival benefit was held to raise more; moreover, in 1938, a generous bequest of $20,000 was left to the school by Susan Kratz, providing the necessary resources for the project to move forward and making it possible to open the school in 1939. It was dedicated on May 9, 1939, and opened with about 125 freshman and sophomore students. The first principal was Father Francis Schaefers. Initially, the school operated on a pay-as-you-go basis, meeting its expenses with its tuition, which was $50 a year. Overhead was low because many classes were taught by the diocesan priests, who did not take salaries, and by sisters from different congregations, who were paid $50 a month. While teaching, many of the priests continued their education at universities such as the University of Notre Dame, the University of Oregon, Catholic University, Dominican College of San Rafael, and the University of Chicago. Central Catholic became a co-ed high school in the 1980s. It accepted the first co-ed students as freshmen and sophomores for the 1980–81 school year. The first co-ed class graduated in 1983. As part of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company received between $2 million and $5 million in federally backed small business loan from Customers Bank as part of the Paycheck Protection Program. The company stated it would allow them to retain 143 jobs.
