South Auditorium District. Lost Portland neighborhood

8609-A36. Looking east at the now-gone South Auditorium district. Most of this was cleared between 1960 and 1962. In the lower left is the Ahavai Achim Synagogue at the corner of SW 3rd & Sherman, an intersection that doesn't exist anymore. On the waterfront is the Alaska Junk Company and Zidell scrap yards, where two ships are being dismantled. On the right is the Sound Wrecking Co., 2617 SW 2nd. It was wrecked to make way for a Ross Island bridge approach.
