Today it seems an anachronism, this 1920s building in the midst of the modern Good Samaritan campus. But this building was named after a man who was considered "one of Portland's first great industrialists, one of the first to systematically develop a market for American products in China, and a leading factor in the early expansion of transpacific steamship service."
I was born at Wilcox Memorial and would love to know a bit more about it.
ReplyDeleteIt is now used as Good Samaritan's Administration Building.
