Additional Information:
The Skidmore Block, at NW First Avenue and West Burnside Street, is an example of a cast-iron front building in the Italianate style. The building was completed in 1889 for Charles E. Sitton-Stephen Skidmore’s business partner and brother-in-law.

Stephen Skidmore was the owner of the oldest retail drug business in Portland. He and Sitton began working together in 1869. When Skidmore died in 1882, he left the bulk of his estate to Sitton, including the parcel on which the Skidmore Block was built.

The four-story commercial building has brick walls with stone front decorated with cast-iron pilasters that create the storefront frames. The upper floors have the original exposed brick walls and wood columns. The ground floor has three equally spaced storefronts and one smaller corner bay. In 1926, when the current Burnside Bridge was constructed, part of the south façade of the building was removed and the bridge ramp came to abut the building at the second story.
