I originally posted the PORTLAND PLACES: Keller Auditorium page on my old website on March 17, 2010.
The Keller Auditorium, operated by the Portland Center for the Performing Arts, is one of Portland's main venues. research sources for this page included Emporis and Wikipedia. This and the following posts include links to historic photographs from the University of Oregon Library Digital Collections.
Keller Auditorium on February 15, 2010
Construction of the Portland Public Auditorium began in 1916 and it opened in 1917. It was extensively rebuilt as the Portland Civic Auditorium in 1967-1968 by contractor Ross B. Hammond Company with new architecture by Stanton, Boles, Maguire & Church. In May 2000 it was renamed the Keller Auditorium after the Keller family donated $1.5 million for a renovation.
