Event Spaces : Cheatham hall

Classy and Elegant

In Cheatham Hall you’ll find a comfortable interior, graced with an elegant design of simple lines and soothing wood tones throughout. A permanent raised stage lends a theatrical feel to the hall, making it ideal for presentations, panel discussions or performances.

In a beautiful park-like setting, Cheatham Hall provides an exceptional venue for your event. Adjacent to the Discovery Museum and surrounded by Portland's Washington Park, Cheatham Hall features stunning architecture and beautiful landscape. The nearby Washington Park MAX station provides excellent transportation alternatives.

With the hall's versatile use, our setup staff can meet your event needs for classroom-style presentations, dinners, banquets, ceremonies, news conferences, audience presentations, workshops, tradeshows and more.

Ceilings that vault 20 feet high give the hall a sense of spaciousness. A U-shaped foyer surrounds the main hall and is suitable as a display area, reception space or for informal conversation during break periods. Cheatham Hall is entirely carpeted in contemporary neutral colors.

Further amenities include adjustable lighting, a full kitchen, basic sound system and an enclosed side patio for extra space or event preparation.
