Buy a Brick.

Millions of feet have walked across the bricks of Pioneer Courthouse Square since the space was built in 1984.

The Square is a symbol of Portland, and the bricks symbolize the people that make Portland such an extraordinary city. Each of the 71,165 named bricks permanently placed at Pioneer Courthouse Square reflect a sense of timelessness and a sense of Portland community. You can become part of this rich history by having your name, or the name of a loved one, inscribed in a commemorative brick at the Square. It can be inscribed with an individual or family name, creating a lasting memorial. You may also choose to honor or memorialize someone who has made a difference in your life, such as a parent, professor, classmate, spouse or friend.

We invite you to participate in this ongoing historic membership campaign by becoming a member and purchasing an individual brick.

The $100 cost per brick includes an inscription that consists of 18 characters (including spaces). All bricks are laser-engraved for lasting letter clarity.

To commemorate your membership, we'll send you a frame-worthy Certificate of Brick Purchase - signed by the Mayor of Portland. Once your brick is installed, we'll also send you a "brick map," so you can locate your new piece of Oregon history with ease.
