The Morgan Building is an office building located in downtown Portland, Oregon, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3][1]
The Morgan was home to Theodore Kruse's Rainbow Grill, which opened in October 1913. Kruse had closed his Louvre restaurant, a hotspot in the gay community, after it was a focal point of the 1912 Portland vice scandal. The Rainbow advertised "fat, juicy, delicious" oysters and a "Special Men's Grill" with meat of the diner's choosing. It closed in June 1915.[4][5] The building was purchased for $27.5 million in 2008, and then next sold in 2025 for $6 million.[6]
Hunan Restaurant, Nodoguro, Roe, and Tercet have operated in the building.
