The building housed nurses for the former adjacent Portland Adventist Sanitarium. The sanitarium was founded around 1895 when the Seventh-day Adventists rented an eight-bedroom mansion from Simeon Reed, converting it into a six-patient facility. By 1897, the property was owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which established the vegetarian Portland Sanitarium Food Company as a branch of the Battle Creek Sanitarium Food Company. A vegetarian restaurant also opened on the site. [3]

Until it was closed for construction, the Nurses' Quarters building housed the Institute for International Christian Communication's WorldView Center, a missionary training program. The program split in 2018, and the training center was renamed to CultureBound. The building was subsequently sold. [4] [5] [6]

In 2014, the building underwent land use review and rezoning in to be converted into 75 micro-apartments, including seismic retrofits. It reopened as "Tabor Commons Apartments" around 2020. [7] [8]
