My New Home in Portland



It's called the Harrison Tower.   It was built in 1965 as Portland's first residential high-rise project by Skidmore Owings and Merrill, architects of the Sears Tower in Chicago.   None of the interior mid-century details remain, but it offers spectacular views and has been completely updated for modern living.    My one bedroom apartment is on the 17th floor and looks East towards the river and also North overlooking downtown.   After apartment hunting for 3 days, it was decided that this was certainly the best deal in town.   The unit won't be available until July, so I'll head to Colorado for the month of June and visit my folks.   Below are some photos of my future home and new beginning in the Pacific Northwest.

Looks like a Soviet block.
