Located in Portland's Pearl District, the North Bank Depot Buildings comprise two structures that once served the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway (SP&S), formed in 1905 and commonly known as the North Bank Road. Constructed in the Chicago School style, the buildings operated as a freight warehouse and passenger terminal from 1908 onward. The east building functioned as a passenger station from 1908 to 1931 and also accommodated the Oregon Electric Railway after its acquisition by the SP&S. Both buildings remained in active use by the SP&S and its successor, the Burlington Northern Railroad, until the 1980s. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996, they stand as significant remnants of Portland's railway heritage.
