Photograph showing the Princess Hotel at East Third and East Burnside streets (now Southeast Third Avenue and East Burnside Street) in Portland on Monday, May 11, 1925, after the hotel was raised and moved northward to accommodate the approach to the new Burnside Bridge. That day, a cropped version of this photograph and image No. 371N5590 were published on Page 16 of the Oregon Journal’s city edition. The photographs were published under the headline “Hotel Safely Moved to New Site.” They had the following caption: “To make room for East Burnside bridge approach, 20,000-ton Princess hotel, concrete building, was moved back 35 feet, operation being concluded late Saturday.” This photograph had the following additional caption information: “Upper picture shows building as it appeared today.” The photographs accompanied a story headlined “Princess Hotel Is Moved; City Saved $25,000.” The story, conflicting with the caption, reported that the building was moved 36 feet.

A “Congregational Church” building lifted onto pieces of wood, during a grading project on the Sunset Highway (26) in an unidentified location west of Portland.

A white church building is mounted on a flatbed truck in the middle of a street. This is the Kronenberg Catholic Church. A worker sits on the roof of the church as it is moved down the street, and another man stands in the distance, watching the move. There is a truck in the foreground, following the church. In the right foreground are 2 men. One watches the move while the other looks at the camera and smiles.
