National Register of Historic Places listings in Multnomah County, Oregon
The following list presents the full set of National Register of Historic Places listings in Multnomah County, Oregon. However, please see separate articles (links below) for listings in each of Portland's five quadrants.
The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) recognizes buildings, structures, objects, sites, and districts of national, state, or local historic significance across the United States.[1] Out of over 88,000 NRHP sites nationwide,[2] Oregon is home to approximately 1,950,[3] and over one-fourth of those are found in Multnomah County. In turn, the large majority (over 90%) of the county's NRHP sites are situated within Portland.
This list includes only NRHP sites within Multnomah County but outside the municipal boundaries of Portland. While some sites appear in this list (and corresponding lists for neighboring counties) showing "Portland" as a general locality, they are nevertheless beyond city limits.

Graf's descendants continued to own the house at least until 2014.[12][13] | |

30 | Sunken Village Archeological Site (35MU4) |
(#89002455) |
Address restricted[lower-alpha 2][18] |
Sauvie Island | The archeological remains of this Chinookan village are unusually well preserved. This cosmopolitan people's complex hunter-gatherer economy and extensive trade network allowed them to establish one of the highest population densities in aboriginal North America, yet they left very few physical remains. The site has been subject to erosion and looting, problems which have been ameliorated by a protective layer of riprap.[19][20] | |

Corbett | Set on a high promontory with a sweeping view of the Columbia River Gorge, this is the only remaining example of several fashionable resort inns that developed in conjunction with the Columbia River Highway in the 1910s and 1920s. In addition to illustrating the rise of automobile touring in the United States, it is also the only inn produced by prominent Portland architect Carl L. Linde.[21] |

Portland | This 1901 house and carriage house, designed by William M. Whidden for himself and his family, is the "best expression" of the Prairie School by Whidden and Lewis, one of Portland's most prominent architectural firms of the period. Whidden's extensive gardens were further developed by Thomas and Mabel Kerr after they acquired the estate in 1911.[22] | |
