The Commodore – 1615 S.W. Morrison Street at 16th Avenue, Portland, Oregon

The Commodore – 1615 S.W. Morrison Street at 16th Avenue, Portland, Oregon
The former Commodore Hotel is a four-story, Art Deco style, reinforced concrete building located in Portland, Oregon, United States. It was built in 1925 by Herman Brookman, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The building currently houses a market, apartments, and a restaurant. Although the base has ben altered, the remaining elevations and interior spaces retain a high degree of integrity.

The upper floors are divided from the base by a rounded belt course. Pendant-like cast stone decorations are located between each bay below this belt. Just above the belt are sculpted birds which are about four feet tall. They are set in front of large pilasters which further define the bay rhythm. The original windows on this facade have been replaced with hinged aluminum ones. Each bay has one of these, except the center bay which has paired windows. In the center bay a single, narrow pilaster passes between the two windows paired together, while in the other bays narrow pilasters bracket the single window.
