This building IS NOT demolished. It is currently a cafe. Also, the correct address is 838 NW 23rd St, Portland Oregon.

Here’s a Google Map linky, you can clearly see it’s the same building…

The records of architect Day Walter Hilborn list a remodeling of the “Knob Hill” Theatre in Portland as a 1938 project. The project must have been the conversion of the Nob Hill into the Esquire, which took place that year.
