[5] She later sold the Carriage House (or Ladd Barn as it was also known) in 1925 to the Hoffman family's Wauna Land Company.

The city block was subsequently purchased in 1944 by the Oregonian Publishing Company and the Pietro Belluschi designed building was built there by The Oregonian for its headquarters,[8] which it occupied until 2014 when it was subsequently bought by Amazon's AWS Elemental,[9] whose headquarters now occupy the building.

One proposal was to move the Carriage House to Lair Hill, but this was logistically complex (steep streets, crossing bridges, cutting Portland Streetcar lines).

Extensive exterior renovations occurred after the Ladd Carriage House moved back to its original site by Venerable Properties.
