The Blagen Block is an historic building in Portland, Oregon's Old Town Chinatown neighborhood, in the United States. The four-story building was designed by Warren H. Williams and completed in 1888. In 1970, the city's Historic Landmarks Commission designated the Blagen Block as a Portland Historic Landmark. In 1975, it was listed as a primary landmark in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) nomination of the Portland Skidmore/Old Town Historic District, the building's designation subsequently translated to "contributing property" under post-1970s NRHP terminology.{{cite web|url=https://www.nps.gov/nhl/find/statelists/or/SkidmoreHD.pdf |format=PDF|title=Revised Documenation, National Historic Landmark Nomination: Skidmore/Old Town Historic District|author=Portland Bureau of Planning|date=October 6, 2008|publisher=National Park Service|pages=15, 17|accessdate=2017-12-04}} Since 2014, Airbnb has had offices in the building,{{cite news | last=Njus | first=Elliot |url=https://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2014/03/airbnbs_old_town_chinatown_sit.html | title=Airbnb's Old Town Chinatown site an unexpected fit for operational headquarters |work=OregonLive.com | date=March 14, 2014}} opening its office in December of that year.{{cite news|title=Airbnb opens new headquarters in Portland| work=KOIN | url=http://koin.com/2014/12/11/airbnb-opens-new-headquarters-in-portland/ | date=December 11, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160625114550/http://koin.com/2014/12/11/airbnb-opens-new-headquarters-in-portland/ |archive-date=June 25, 2016}}
