For the 1982 post-modern building by Michael Graves, see Portland Building.
The Public Service Building is a historic 67.06 m (220.0 ft), 15-story office building in downtown Portland, Oregon, United States. The building and its attached parking garage have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Public Service Building and Garage since 1996.[4] It was built to house the offices of the Portland Gas and Coke Company and the Pacific Power and Light Company.
