Italian Gardeners and Ranchers Association Market Building

The Italian Gardeners and Ranchers Association Market Building, also known as the Italian Market, is a historic two-story structure located in southeast Portland, Oregon. Built in 1922 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, this unique building features a flat roof, large loading bays, and multi-paned casement windows. Originally serving Italian farmers and peddlers, it housed various produce-related businesses, restaurants, and meeting halls. The building reflects the rich history of Italian immigrants in the area, who established truck farms along the Willamette River. Today, it stands as a testament to Portland's cultural heritage and offers a glimpse into the city's past.
