Portland, Oregon, contains many fine business blocks, one of whichis shown on p. 336. Forty-one years ago the first business houseof Portland was erected — a small log house. In November, 1843, A- L. Lovejoy and A. M. Overton locatedclaims on the present site of Portland. In the fall of 1844 Over-ton sold his interest to F. M. Pettygrove for $50; and during thewinter following a small log cabin was erected. These two men,Lovejoy and Pettygrove, had an idea that the future city of Ore-gon would be built upon the site which they had selected.
