​Originally known as the Calumet Hotel, the building was built in 1907 during the boom in Portland after the Lewis & Clark Exposition.

Designed by noted Portland architect Joseph Jacobberger, the Calumet was a blend of French Renaissance and Edwardian style. It rented rooms for $1 per day and offered new luxuries, like private baths in every room. The hotel’s heyday continued into the 1930s when it was renamed the Esquire Hotel and was used for low-income housing from 1932-1983.  In 1984, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Today it is home to The Esquire.

The renovation retained the original steel stairs, repurposed the original Douglas Fir floors, created a four-story open-air atrium in the middle of the building, installed an innovative eco-friendly heating/cooling system, and gave an artistic presentation to a rainwater-recovery system. 
The Esquire was awarded a LEED GOLD certification, a rare distinction for an Historic renovation.
