The Portland Yamhill Historic District occupies a 22-block section of downtown Portland between the commercial center and the Willamette River, largely rebuilt following the catastrophic Great Fire of 1873. The district, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is dominated by 17 Italianate-style buildings erected between 1878 and 1887 as the area entered full reconstruction in 1878. Among its notable structures are the Northrup and Blossom-Fitch Building (1858), which predates the fire, the Rensselaer Block by W.S. Ham, the Strowbridge Building in Italianate masonry, and the six-story Moy Building (1910), designed in the Chicago School style. From 1914 to 1934, the neighborhood encompassed part of the Carroll Public Market, anchoring its role as a significant commercial and architectural zone in Portland's recovery and development.
