Philadelphia Head, St Johns Heart of Portland’s District
Philadelphia Head is St Johns heart as it anchors the district’s growth and public life. The broad grade from the Willamette to the village center, once laid out by Andrew and later connected to the city dock, shapes factories and dumps while the flatiron block hosts city hall police headquarters and a park fountain beloved by residents and animals alike. Charles Woodhouse Jr notes St Johns high school crowds and community events, with residents gathering after 5 pm and during demonstrations, making Philadelphia Head a natural meeting place in Portland.
