The Portland Van and Storage Building is a building located in north Portland, Oregon listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Portland fire marshal halted construction in 1925 when it was discovered that window space in the building was not equal to one-twenty-fifth of floor space, a violation of the building code. The city council granted a special permit allowing construction to be completed, giving the building its unique appearance.
