The article uses two styles, "Sixth Avenue" and "6th Avenue", to name streets. Is there a preferred/official usage in Portland? – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:23, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I am aware, no, there is not an official or preferred version – and both versions can been seen on street signs currently in place (and that has been the case for many years; we're not in any kind of transition period with signage). For example, these Google Street View images from 2015–16: "Third" and Everett and "3rd" and Stark. On the two Portland Transit Mall streets, the signage (which was reposted with new signs when the mall opened in 1977) read "Fifth" and "Sixth" at all intersections for 30 years, but when the mall was rebuilt in 2007–08, the new signage installed (by TriMet, not the city) as part of that overhaul all read "5th" and "6th" – but that does not necessarily mean there was any change in official designation by the city, and could even be based simply on the idea that transit users are more likely to include foreign visitors and others whose first language is not English; I have no idea.
I noticed that difference in the article, that I had used both versions, but since both versions are in fairly common use for streets with single-digit numbers in Portland, as well as in use on actual signs "officially" posted along the street, I decided not to settle on just one or the other. Doing so would, in my opinion, imply that just one version is correct or official and the other is not, and that is not the case, as far as I know. However, unofficially I would say that "6th" is definitely much more common than "Sixth" nowadays, but it appears that the opposite was the case when the building was new, a century ago.

The following coordinate fixes are needed for

You haven't said what you think is wrong with the coordinates in the article, and they appear to be correct. If you still think that there is an error, you'll need to supply a clear explanation of what it is. Deor (talk) 14:33, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would love someone to do further research on this building as it appears to resemble a court of law to me. Thank you.
