NW Upshur & 27th
Description:
The state of Massachusetts' submission to the 1905 Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition, the building's front was an exact reproduction of the Beacon Hill Statehouse in Boston, the first floor a replica of the Senate chamber of the old Statehouse in Boston, and the second floor patterned in the newer State Senate chamber.
When the Exposition was over it was purchased and relocated to roughly SE Belmont and 66th where it was used as a sanitarium until 1910 when then President of the Portland Rail Light & Power (think PGE+TriMet) purchased it and had it converted into stately Josselyn Hall.
