Portland Sanitarium Nurses' Quarters
The building housed nurses for the former, adjacent, Portland Adventist Sanitarium. The Sanitarium was founded in ca. 1895 when Seventh Day Adventist rented an eight-bedroom mansion from Simeon Reed, turning it into the six-patient sanitarium. By 1897 the facility was owned by the Seventh Day Adventist Church, who founded the vegetarian Portland Sanitarium Food Company, a branch of the Battle Creek Sanitarium Food Company. A vegetarian restaurant also opened on the site.
Until it was closed for construction, the Nurses' Quarters building held the Institute for International Christian Communication's WorldView Center, a missionary training program. The program split in 2018, with the training center being renamed to CultureBound. The building was sold then.
The building went through land use review/rezoning in 2014 to be turned into 75 micro-apartments. The construction also included seismic retrofits. It will be called "Tabor Commons Apartments" when it reopens in ca. 2020.
