White Stag/Hirsch-Weiss

19-33 NW Naito Avenue
Portland, OR

Of the three buildings, the White Stag/Hirsch-Weiss building at NW Naito Parkway and West Burnside Street is the largest and most industrial in character with its simplified brick and concrete façade.  It was designed and built in 1907 as a manufacturing and warehouse building for the Willamette Tent and Awning Company. Max A. Hirsch—nephew of Aaron Meier of Meier & Frank—was the president at the time. 

When the building was constructed, the entrance faced West Burnside.  In 1926, the Burnside Bridge was built and the entire south façade of the building was shaved off. The façade was reconstructed to attach the building to the new Burnside Bridge. The ground level of the south side became a loading area and the east side of the building became the primary entrance.

The original wood windows on the south facade were replaced with large steel-sash windows and a fifth floor was added. The building has open floor plans and the structure has exposed brick walls, wood columns and beams.  On the roof are the historic Made in Oregon sign and water tower that will be maintained.
