History
The conservatory advertised itself as "answering a need" for a "Standard Conservatory of the Fine Arts" on the U.S. The conservatory opened in 1918 in the Broadway Building, subsequently relocating to northeast Portland. In 1927, the conservatory constructed the nine-story Studio Building in downtown Portland, after which it formally closed some time in the 1940s.
Founded by J.R Ellison and Clarence White, the Ellison-White Conservatory was originally located in the Broadway Building in downtown Portland, and held its first classes on September 9, 1918. The conservatory was associated with the Ellison-White Lyceum and Chautauqua Association, which had originated in Boise, Idaho. The conservatory advertised itself as answering a need for a "Standard Conservatory of the Fine Arts" on the U.S. West Coast. By 1920, the conservatory had relocated from the Broadway Building to a location on Everett Street in northeast Portland. In 1922, the conservatory expanded its voice department. In 1927, the conservatory constructed the historic nine-story Studio Building in downtown Portland, located at SW 9th and Taylor, relocating their operations there. The Studio Building had more than 100 rehearsal studios, sound-proof walls, and was attached to the 450-seat Guild Theatre. The conservatory was closed by the Ellison-White Lyceum and Chautauqua Association some time in 1940s after the Great Depression, though the exact date is unknown.
