Portland Loo
When Portland commissioned the design of the loos, it retained the intellectual property rights to the design, and would receive a royalty from the manufacturer, for each loo it sold. Press reports described this arrangement as a source of funds, for the city.
However, in 2014, a citizen group sued the city, asserting the city had spent over $600,000 to promote the loos, without proper authorization. As a consequence the design was sold to Madden, the manufacturer.
Ladd Carriage House
The Ladd mansion and the city block that the house and garden occupied across the street (Broadway) was also later sold by Helen Ladd Corbett in 1926 for a proposed hotel, prior to her move to Riverwood south of Portland, which earlier had been known as Rivera now known as the Dunthorpe area. Her new house was located in grounds at Pacific Highway (now SW Riverside Drive) and SW Military Road and SW Military Lane. The hotel was never built owing to the Depression. The city block was subsequrently purchased in 1944 by the "Oregonian" Publishing Company and the Pietro Belluschi designed building was built there by "The Oregonian" for its headquarters, which it occupied until 2014 when it was subsequently bought by Amazon's AWS Elemental, whose headquarters now occupy the building.
