Spalding Building
Type
The Spalding Building, completed in 1911, originally housed the Ladd and Tilton Bank, which became the largest, and for many years, most powerful bank in Oregon. Designed by Cass Gilbert, the building represents the end of the classic phase of American skyscraper development, and was called the "best of Portland's new commercial buildings" by Architectural Record (1912). It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Much of the building's banking interiors were lost in a major renovation in 1956, and subsequent renovations continued this loss of historic fabric, leaving the interior dark and confining.
The Spalding Building Rehabilitation project brings back the building's banking history through use of high-quality, long-lasting materials and rigorously refined organization. The entry lobby features two relocated and refurbished historic vault doors that employ a range of metals; stainless steel, bronze and brass. The original lobby featured marble at the walls and floor, and a coffered ceiling. The historic lobby and vault door materials became the basis for our materials palette. This palette was rigorously organized into a system of meticulously aligned battens and control joints inspired by a bank vault's interior construction. This rigor continues into the elevator cabs. Elevator doors and transoms feature etched stainless steel with a pattern taken directly from the vault door's intricately detailed mechanical parts.
The main floor lobby design direction carries through the upper floor elevator lobbies and other common spaces. Existing bank vaults were reused as bicycle parking for a generous bike commuter and fitness facility featuring lockers, private shower rooms, and exercise equipment. Outside, a new glass entry canopy protects pedestrians and maximizes natural light in the building's entry lobby.
