The 511 Federal Building is a former federal post office that currently houses the Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) in Portland, Oregon, United States. PNCA moved into the building in February 2015, after a $32 million remodeling project.[3]
Previous occupants of the building included the Department of Homeland Security offices for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement[4] and the Department of Agriculture.
The building was constructed in 1916–1918 and opened in 1919[2] after being commissioned by the Secretary of the Treasury, one of the last post offices built under the 1893 Tarsney Act, and cost $1 million.[4] It was designed by architect Lewis P. Hobart.[2] It is located between Portland's Old Town Chinatown and the Pearl District. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places[4] in 1979, as the U.S. Post Office.[1][2] The building is six stories tall and has a footprint of approximately 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2).[5]
