The Kenton Hotel is a historic hotel in Portland, Oregon. It was built in 1909, added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 16, 1990,[3] and identified as a contributing resource in the Kenton Commercial Historic District when the district was added to the National Register on September 3, 2001.

History

The building was first built by the Swift Meat Packing company in 1909. Since the building deteriorated from the 1970s to the 1980s, it was almost demolished in 1990. However, owing to its history, it was kept and added to the National Register of Historic Places.[4]
