Henry Building (1909), Portland

The renovation of Portland’s 112 year-old Henry Building -- on behalf of the nonprofit Central City Concern -- presented a variety of challenges. The project team was tasked with providing a cost-effective seismic design solution that both respected the historic character of the structure, while also adding affordable housing units. Thanks to a collaborative design approach and numerous tax credits, the Henry Building is now the tallest seismically-reinforced masonry building in Portland. Today, the rehabilitated National Register-listed building offers safe, beautiful and dignified spaces for 173 veterans and low-income residents. Photo credit: Josh Partee.
