I would hate to see that happen, there is too many beautiful old buildings on that block worth saving.
I could see the KOIN lot being a possibility through some sort of trade deal. I could also see the current Portland Building being razed and rebuilt, something that would fit both the courthouse and the Portland departments in it.
As for the current courthouse building, I hope the exterior of the building is saved and a tower is built in the core of it.
