About the Hawthorne District In Portland
The main, and most popular, street that runs through this district is Hawthorne Boulevard. This road was originally home to Oregon’s first mental hospital and was named “Asylum Avenue” until 1883, when the facilities closed. The East Portland residents then renamed the street after the hospital’s founder, Dr. J.C Hawthorne.
