- MODS Note
- The U. S. Custom House was designed and built by the Office of Supervising Architect of the United States Treasury. James Knox Taylor was head of the office from October 1897 until July 1912. Edgar M. Lazarus was the local architect in Portland designated as superintendent of construction for this work. An article in the Morning Oregonian, March 3, 1898, confirms that plans for the building were ready before Lazarus was hired for his supervisory role.
