Telegraph building

fabarmadillo 1/15/22
Anyone know the location of the "old telegraph building"? That's what Eric called the place that had the practice space where he recorded Nation and Furr. I'm curious bc when I went to Portland I tried to find it to take a photo - I wondered if it was the one at SW Park & SW Oak, but I'm still not sure.

I remembered reading that it also became a dance studio, which led me to this article that mentions a bit of BT history: https://www.streetroots.org/news/2017/03/28/blitzen-trapper-rock-concert-meets-theater-portland

Looks like it was also called the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Building, located on SE Ankeny. This article: (https://portlandpreservation.wordpress.com/2010/01/13/goings-on-ov) gives an address of 532 SE Ankenny.

Hope this helps!  Any Portlanders please feel free to correct me.

Thanks so much for investigating this. I looked up that address myself and found more info to back you up: this says Revolver Studios was located in that building and Blitzen Trapper recorded albums in one of their practice rooms. https://www.medioq.com/US/Portland/196525653707477/Revolver-Studios

Hey! The building has been restored and is an ad agency now:

Thanks for the info Michael!
 
I took this picture when I was in the city on Friday for the concert. Though the neighborhood must have looked much different in 2008. 
 
I also just had to take one there that shows my "Furr" tattoo.
