Telegram Building
The Telegram Building is a historic building in Portland, Oregon. It was constructed in 1922,[2] several years after The Evening Telegram newspaper had been purchased by John E. and L. R. Wheeler.[3] The Telegram was a newspaper founded in 1877 by Henry L. Pittock; it merged in 1931 with the Portland News, creating the Portland News-Telegram, which ceased publishing in 1939.
