The building hosting Logan Grocery (right) was built in 1910. In later years, the building hosted a few other stores like Zwhalen’s Market and Romoli’s. A permit was issued for it to be a mixed-use hotel and office space a few years ago. In 2024, the dispensary THX went in, the first business to use that space in 45 years.
The Alameda Theatre (left) was a 600-seat establishment opened in 1926 by three siblings and was in operation for 11 years. Forty years later, the theater was bought out and became the Alameda Cinema, the first Black-owned theater in Portland. The legacy lives on in the current Alberta Rose Theater (right), which hosts productions originally from the Alberta Cinema, long-running plays and other events.
The building that hosted the pizzeria Al Forno Ferruzza (left) from 2009-2014 was built in 1917. The building has been vacant for a decade because of a burst pipe and the mold buildup that followed (right). There is still a location of Al Forno Ferruzza open off Highway 26 in Rhododendron, near Mt. Hood.
The NW Electrical Company Alberta Substation building (left) was built in 1931. The building has hosted a few restaurants and bars over the years since, including The Station. From 2022 to present, Bar Cala (right) has called the building home. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, due to its notable Mediterranean architecture style.
Pictured on the left is one location of the Red & White Store franchise—this specific one was also known as Irving Market and Grocery. Another grocery called Ray-O-Sun replaced it in 1937, which has since closed, leaving it a vacant lot. Around 2019, a year-round shop selling goods from the well-known Portland winter craft fair Crafty Wonderland (right) opened in the building.
