LONGWOOD
Read moreThe only house of Byzantine influence on the banks of Mississippi. This octagonal house of red bricks and white woodwork is topped by a dome shaped by bulbs, such as Orthodox churches. Originally the house had to have six floors, but construction was interrupted by the war of Secession and the poor doctor Nutt, owner, died of pneumonia and grief without having seen his dream completed. His descendants lived on both floors of the house for a hundred years. Now classified as a historic monument, the house is worth a visit.

CHINA GATE
Read moreThe two golden lions mark the entrance to Chinatown. This is a tradition found in all American Chinatowns. The door was installed in 1986, when the district had already existed for nearly a century. You can see red lamp posts in this area too. In reality Chinatown is an abandoned neighborhood where homeless people are massing and we advise you not to go too far west it is a bit of an evil resident. This neighborhood, which was actually a little Japanese Tokyo, was emptied of its inhabitants after the Second World War, when the Americans decided to drive out Japanese migrants after the Pearl Harbor attack. The Chinese have stayed, but there are only a few restaurants not the best and newest, and blinds closed.

THOMPSON ELK STATUE
Read moreThe emblematic pulse of the Oregon forests lies proudly in the heart of the Plaza Blocks. Called by the 24 th Mayor of Portland, David Thompson businessman, in 1900, this bronze statue was in his very controversial erection. First, because it is actually a fountain for horses, installed in the middle of the street, which, from time to time, could cause great traffic jams. Next, because The Elks, or Exalted Order of Elks, a very private club derived from franc, declared the momentum created by sculptor Roland Hinton Perry'a monstrosity of art '. However, the momentum resists and in 1974 it is, with the Plaza Blocks, classified as historic monument. Today, its position seems strange, it seems to turn its back on traffic and the city, but it must be remembered that it is leaning towards the west and the promised land, namely the Pacific Ocean. Gus Van Sant, from Portland, immortalized her in My Own Private Idaho.
PORTLAND BUILDING
Read moreBuilt in 1982 under Michael Graves, this building is the first example of postmodern architecture in the United States. With its various materials, small windows and the predominance of stone, it differs radically from the other office buildings built at that time. In 1985, the Portlandia statue of Raymond Kaskey was added. It is the second largest U.S. copper statue (the first one being the statue of Liberty). The building now houses the city's offices. Since 2006, the building has been covered by a "green roof" which allows for the evacuation of heat and more ecological moisture.

ULYSSES S. GRANT HOME
Read moreThis brick house was designed in 1860 by William Dennison, for a notable city. Bought in June 1865 by a small group of local Republicans, she was presented to Grant two months later. The house is typical of the Italian style. After his election to the presidency in 1868, Grant only went there from time to time. He made his last visits in 1880. In 1904 Grant children gave the house to Galena City with the assurance that the property was preserved in memory of Fire Grant and for no other purpose. However, the maintenance of the house turned out to be too expensive and the city gave in to the state of Illinois in 1931. Full restoration took place in 1955. Most of the furniture used by Grant and his family stayed in the house.
