The National Register of Historic Places is the United States' official list of buildings, districts, structures, sites, and objects important to local, state, or national history.
The program is run by the National Park Service and administered locally by the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office, an office of the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). Oregon is home to over 2000 sites and there are 90,000+ listed nationally.
Here are a few of the notable places highlighted in NBC's Grimm:
1. Portland Police Station
The US Custom House (220 NW 8th Ave, Portland, OR) was used as the exterior of the Portland police precinct.
