About Crystal Hotel's Nomination

Crystal Hotel was initially nominated and listed under the National Register of Historic Places in 2009 for its significance in commerce and community development. Fifteen years later and through the hard work of the LBGTQ+ Historic Sites Project, this nomination was amended to recognize the building's historical significance to the LGBTQ+ community between 1969 and 1985. During this era, the Crystal was an integral part of the Gay Triangle - the heart of the city's queer scene - as The Majestic Hotel and Club Baths in the ‘70s and Club Portland in the ‘80s. The property was a safe haven for Portland's queer community during a time when many felt they had to hide their true selves in fear of their lives. This new designation in our listing not only highlights our personal ties to Portland's LGBTQ+ community, but the importance of uncovering and documenting LGBTQ+ stories nationwide.
