It should be noted that, as is the case with many early Portland, Oregon movie houses, the address for this one is incorrect on today’s map of the city. Starting in 1930, Portland went through a “Great Renumbering” and many addresses were shifted. This theater was located in the Oregonian Building, and that address in 1908 was 135 SW 6th. After 1932, and to the present day, that address is 537 SW 6th.

Apple maps is putting the pin icon in the wrong neighborhood. The Bakeronian was Downtown, not in the East Burnside district. Perhaps correcting the zip code to 97204 will fix the map error.

Well drat, it didn’t work, the map still shows the wrong location. I’m out of ideas.
