In 2010, the Sherlock Building was purchased for $6.8 million by the Church of Scientology, with plans to turn it into the headquarters for its Portland chapter. The Church had previously purchased the nearby Stevens Building, but had decided that it would not be suitable without costly renovations.[5]

Tenants

At the time of the building's purchase in 2010, Ruth's Chris Steak House was a tenant.[5]
