Controversy

[edit ]

The building remains controversial among Portlanders

There is/was a bus operator who referred to a stop for it as "..., Portlandia, the great ugly building it sits on" --Jason McHuff (talk) 09:15, 23 April 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Only one name

[edit ]

I have removed from the article the claim that "Portland Municipal Services Building" is an alternate name for the building, as was already done earlier for "Portland Public Services Building" (also claimed to be an alternative name for the Portland Building), due to lack of evidence. The Emporis listing is the article's only reference for this claim, and I do not believe that one reference is sufficient on its own to support including this statement in the article. Personally, Wikipedia is the only place I've ever seen this claim, but if someone else has reliable sources to support it, then feel free to re-add the statement, with citations.

i should think that the emporis reference is more reliable than one editor that doesn't concur. either way, there are google references found under the other name, and that is sufficient for a mention in the article, even if it's just for a cross-reference. --emerson7 02:42, 8 November 2010 (UTC) [reply ]

Goldberger's remark WAS negative

[edit ]

"Not all commentary has been negative." begins the 4th paragraph under "Reception." But that quote by Goldberger is definitely negative. He said that our building's look drove other American architects back to classic architecture. So if you ever rewrite this section... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.164.179.189 (talk) 19:57, 6 June 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
