The Ladd Carriage House is a building in downtown Portland, Oregon. It is one of the few surviving pieces of the former grand estates which once existed in the downtown core. It was on the National Register of Historic Places from 1980 until 2008. It was restored to the list in 2010.
The building served as an outbuilding to the William S. Ladd mansion, once located across Broadway on the block now occupied by The Oregonian's headquarters. Since its decommissioning as a private residential structure, it has been used as offices and retailing space.
An early remodel, circa 1930, converted the open first floor and hayloft into three floors of offices according to architect Van Evera Bailey, who established his office in the carriage house.
