After publishing from there for 13 years, the paper moved out in 1961, and the building stood unused until it was bought in 1968 by the City of Portland, which demolished it the next year to make way for an expansion of Harbor Drive, which itself was largely replaced in 1974 by Tom McCall Waterfront Park.There is currently no permanent public market in the city, although plans are in progress to build the James Beard Public Market at the west end of the Morrison Bridge."@en }
