Revival TouR

2015 Old House Revival Tour!

Saturday, April 11, 2015 | 10:00 am – 4:00 pm Members $20 | General Public $25

After 16 years, more than 4,200 tour-goers, and well more than 100 kitchens visited, our long-running and very successful Kitchen Revival Tour is being transformed for 2015 into the Old House Revival Tour!

This redesigned tour still offers the opportunity to see great kitchens in vintage homes, but we will now also showcase other living spaces. The tour highlights budget-conscious ideas and resources for preserving original building materials, restoring spaces lost to previous remodels, and creating new spaces that are sensitive to the architecture of the home.

With the ongoing struggle over old house demolitions, it has never been more important for us to demonstrate, to even the most skeptical, that older homes can be adapted to a 21st century lifestyle while remaining true to original architectural style, historic character and charm.

No matter what style or era of house you prefer, this self-guided tour offers something for everyone. Homes on the tour represent many of the most common eras and architectural styles in the Portland area.

If you are considering taking on a home renovation project yourself, homeowners and contractors will be on hand to provide you with tips and real-life experiences on everything from retaining original material to integrating modern appliances.

We hope you’ll join us as we embark on a new era for this always popular tour—all in the pursuit of our mission to inspire people to conserve the art, craft, and context of historic buildings and places.

Spring Fun at the AHC

By Fred Leeson

Exciting. Fun. Stressful. In my seven years as a board member, I can’t recall a busier time at the Architectural Heritage Center. Let me discuss briefly those three adjectives, starting with the last.

We have learned over the past year that it does not take a major earthquake to make our city change under our feet. An aggressive segment of the real estate/development community has latched onto Portland’s wonderful early 20th century neighborhoods as the best “location, location, location” to feed their profits by demolishing vintage houses to replace with new. Preservation advocates from the AHC and other organizations have spent months trying to alter city regulations that might slow the pace of residential demolitions by giving neighborhoods a chance to save threatened buildings that they believe are most important to their heritage.

Some progress has been made in the regulations, as you will read elsewhere in this newsletter. Even so, my guess is that few houses will be saved; neighborhoods will find themselves in bidding wars with the developers, and few neighborhoods likely will win. The battle is not yet over; in time, I believe that other strategies may force developers to pay fuller costs for their folly, thus reducing the profit incentive. In the meantime, our neighborhood losses likely will continue apace.

OK, on to excitement and fun! Spring is a great time of year at the AHC—perhaps this year more than ever. Our Education Committee is working on an exciting Old House Revival Tour that will add some laudable restoration/renovation projects that extend into rooms other than kitchens.

Kitchens have been the focus of the Revival tour since its inception, and kitchens will still play a vital role. There are many other opportunities for architecturally and historically

Here Yesterday, Gone TomorrowBy Cathy Galbraith

It was there one day…and will never be there again…I’m increasingly reaching this conclusion every time I’m out and about in Portland’s neighborhoods and downtown when

I see that yet another house or building has been erased. In their places are “McMansions”, row houses, oh-so-plain new houses, or overwhelmingly large new apartment projects. Some streets have become nearly unrecognizable (for me that’s SE Division, and N Williams, as just two examples) and it reminds me of the mid-to-later 1970s when among many, the Goodnough and YMCA buildings were demo’d in downtown Portland. I remember feeling that the Portland that I knew was changing almost overnight. Those demolitions also took away the locally owned businesses that I patronized. I remember thinking that it was there one day and will never be there again.

These days, I think that a lot—these are difficult times for someone who appreciates and reveres Portland’s physical sense of place that’s manifested in the long-standing vintage buildings that orient us to where we are. After standing for so long, buildings and often sections of entire streets and neighborhoods are being erased for new construction that doesn’t physically “fit” its setting, or add much to enrich our lives with needed services. It’s typically just more of the same new construction with no distinguishing features, and could be anywhere in any city.

Great cities are distinguished by well-designed, long-standing buildings that define their particular “sense of place” and Portland has long been one of them. I think that’s what draws people to want to live here, hopefully to put down roots for the long haul and contribute their own talents to helping Portland continue to be the wonderful place that it is. When I overhear someone say “we just moved here, and we like it, but you know what they need here…” going on about importing something from whatever place they left behind, I find myself cringing. My instincts to protect the city that I love rise up and I know that we don’t ever get to own our city, but only get to live here while we can—it’s all about stewardship, as we take care of the places we call home.

For those who criticize the historic preservation mindset as people-who-resist-any-change, I respond that changes can be good and are part of the passage of time, but whatever we add to our surroundings should be something that’s needed, a good fit with its surroundings—and contribute to our sense of place.

For the many of you have joined with us to advocate for stronger preservation of our building heritage, my immense

appropriate renovations, and the tour planners want to honor them, too. We know tour attendees are looking for ideas for their own houses and the 2015 tour should give us all lots to think about—in the kitchen and other rooms, as well.

Spring also brings an enhanced schedule of the popular AHC walking and bicycle tours of neighborhoods and parks. These offer a great way to learn more about your city, enjoy some exercise, and visit with interesting people. We all know Portland and environs are special and wonderful places; these tours will help you understand why our “built” environment is a great complement to our gorgeous natural setting.

And even if you never leave the main floor of the AHC, there is an excellent series of education programs awaiting you—not to mention our latest fascinating exhibit on historic architectural metals from the Foundation’s artifacts collection.

I tell you, there is never a dull moment!

We note with sadness the recent passing of two members of our Board of Advisors—Central Eastside business owner Greg Wentworth and landscape architect Wallace K. Huntington. Greg had been an advisor since 1994, prior to the West’s Block rehabilitation, was an auction donor, and had remained interested in the organization’s activities. Wallace was involved with the Foundation from the beginning and became an advisor in 2008. He

generously shared his lovingly-restored Case House in Aurora and its extensive gardens with us many times as an auction donation. We thank them for their service as advisors.

Historic Multi-Family Housing of NW Portland (continued) built some of the earliest upscale rental units. In the 1920s, Elmer Feig became well known for his Northwest Portland apartment designs, and a housing crunch during World War II led to the conversion of many classic homes into multi-family units. We hope you’ll join us as we explore this fascinating aspect of one of Portland’s most endearing neighborhoods.

Terra Cotta DowntownSunday, May 17, 2015 at 11:00 am

Downtown Portland’s collection of terra cotta clad buildings is one of the finest in the nation, exemplifying the popularity of

this building material during the early decades of the 20th century. The concentration of these buildings, designed by the likes of architect A.E. Doyle, also shows us how, by 1910, the city’s central business district had moved west of 4th Avenue.

Modernism and Beyond: The Architecture of Downtown (South)Thursday, May 21, 2015 at 6:00 pm

Downtown Portland contains an abundance of post-World War II architecture by Pietro Belluschi, Michael Graves, and the world renowned firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. This tour explores the southern portion of the

central business district. You’ll learn about the controversial as well as the award winners, the architects and firms that designed them, and the issues of the times that led to such dramatic changes to our built environment and skyline.

King’s Hill National Register Historic DistrictThursday, May 28, 2015 at 6:00 pm

Many of Portland’s most notable late 19th and early 20th century architects designed homes in this hilly National Register Historic District. The neighborhood is also known for

its wonderful landscape architecture, serving as a gateway to Washington Park. Be advised that this is a fairly strenuous walk.

Historic Homes of the Alphabet District—Part IThursday, April 23, 2015 at 6:00 pm

Northwest Portland’s Alphabet District, owes its existence to Captain John Couch, his family, and in-laws. Development in the area includes everything from fairly modest homes to mansions—not to mention vibrant commercial

areas. This tour is the first of two tours in which we will look at the wonderful historic homes that define a large portion of this National Register Historic District.

Landscapes and History: A Walk Through River View CemeterySaturday, May 2, 2015 at 10:00 am

Nestled in the hillside just above the west end of the Sellwood Bridge lies one of Portland’s hidden treasures, River View Cemetery. Portland’s contribution to the 19th century rural cemetery movement was so successful it helped

bring about the development of public parks in Portland and elsewhere across the nation. Join us as we tour the

final resting places of the rich and famous of 19th century Portland. We will explore obelisks, monuments and mausoleums, all set within one of the city’s most picturesque landscapes.

Skidmore— Old Town Historic DistrictThursday, May 7, 2015 at 6:00 pm

Learn about some of the oldest buildings in the city and the people who built them in this tour of Portland’s only National Historic

Landmark District. The area also contains the highest concentration of cast-iron fronted buildings on the west coast and much of that iron was even produced locally.

Ladd’s Addition Historic DistrictSunday, May 10, 2015 at 11:00 am

Enjoy a leisurely stroll through this leafy enclave of early 20th century homes, churches, and businesses. This National Register

Historic District is Oregon’s oldest planned community and in 2009 the American Planning Association honored it as one of America’s Great Places.

Historic Multi-Family Housing of NW PortlandThursday, May 14, 2015 at 6:00 pm

The Pearl District: Preservation in the Midst of ChangeSunday, May 31, 2015 at 11:00 am and Thursday, June 25, 2015 at 6:00 pm

Over the last 20 years, the Pearl has been transformed from an outdated and tired industrial area into one of Portland’s premier residential and retail districts. A century ago, the area went through a similar transformation—from a working class housing area at the edge of a marsh, to the city’s premier industrial and warehousing area. Many of Portland’s best known architects of the period designed buildings for important local and national companies. Most of these buildings remain, with their exteriors intact and new uses inside.

Yamhill Historic District and BeyondThursday, June 4, 2015 at 6:00 pm

What is today the Yamhill National Register Historic District was separated from the rest of Old Town when the new Morrison Bridge was constructed in the 1950s. This tour contains fantastic 19th century cast-iron buildings, as well as some of the most

notable historic commercial architecture in Portland. You’ll also learn about how this one-time market area was home to the city’s early Chinese immigrant community.

Sullivan’s Gulch NeighborhoodSunday, June 7, 2015 at 11:00 am

When Ralph Lloyd began his 35-year long project to create an east Portland

“downtown” in 1926, the site for his project, Holladay’s Addition,

was one of Portland’s grandest neighborhoods. The remaining neighborhood, now known as Sullivan’s Gulch, was heavily impacted by the development of Lloyd Center but still retains some wonderful architecture.

New! Garthwick NeighborhoodWednesday, June 10, 2015 at 6:00 pm Wednesday, June 24, 2015 at 6:00 pm

Garthwick? Where is that?...you might ask. Located just south of Sellwood and north of the Waverly Country Club, this hidden residential neighborhood is a great “outdoor lab” for the most

popular residential styles of the 20th century. Join us in an exploration of this often overlooked, off-the-beaten path neighborhood on the edge of Southeast Portland.

Portland Heights and Vista AvenueThursday, June 11, 2015 at 6:00 pm

What was once a very difficult area to build, or even get to, became a popular residential district, as transportation options increased in Portland during the late 19th century. Today the mixture of homes, ranging in style from Colonial

Revival to Art Deco, is a veritable “who’s who” of Portland architects and their masterworks. Be advised that this is a fairly strenuous walk.

Modernism and Beyond: The Architecture of Downtown (North)Thursday, June 18, 2015 at 6:00 pm

This tour explores the northern portion of downtown where you’ll look at Portland skyscrapers—from the oldest to the near-tallest and most recent. The fingerprints of iconic architect Pietro Belluschi are on five buildings on this tour including, perhaps, his most famous of all. Other stops include the work of modern masters

Richard Sundeleaf, Skidmore Owings & Merrill, and Zimmer Gunsul Frasca. We’ll also look at three “modern” public plazas and try to figure out reasons for success or failure of those designs.

From Soda Pop to Swimwear: The Commercial and Industrial Architecture of Sandy BoulevardSaturday, June 20, 2015 at 10:00 am

Sandy Boulevard has a long history of commercial and industrial architecture with styles ranging from Brick Utilitarian to Brutalism—all with a generous supply of Streamline and Zig Zag Moderne in between. This tour takes a closer look at a surprising

Records Center

Sandy Boulevard (continued)section of the city; an area that hosts some of the city’s most notable businesses. You’ll also see firsthand how the automobile played a major role in the form and style of 20th century architecture.

Portland Vernacular: the Buckman NeighborhoodSunday, June 21, 2015 at 11:00 am

Buckman is one of the city’s oldest Eastside neighborhoods with a variety of vernacular housing types beginning with late 19th century cottages through the building boom years of the early 20th century when the bungalow and four-square were popular citywide. You’ll even

see some early duplex and triplex houses that give Buckman a unique character as well as post-World War II multi-unit housing.

The Houses of EastmorelandSaturday, June 27, 2015 at 11:00 am

The Eastmoreland Neighborhood is known throughout Portland for its undulating pattern of dense, tree-lined streets and landscaped yards. Once farmland, the housing in Eastmoreland was largely constructed between

1925 and 1940. Along this walk you’ll see not only some fantastic architect-designed houses in period revival styles, but also their popular, but not architect-designed, counterparts.

The South Park Blocks: A Cultural MandateSunday, June 28, 2015 at 11:00 am

This eleven-block downtown area was first platted and donated to the City in 1852, transforming a fire break parcel into the most desirable residential area of its day—complete with schools, playgrounds, stately homes and places of worship. Come take a stroll through the groves of elms and hear some of the stories they would love to tell about the area’s history

and architecture. The South Park Blocks stand alone as a place of revitalization, refreshment and cultural allure.

Portland 101: Crooked Grids, Tiny Blocks, and the Building of the City

Saturday, April 18, 2015 10:00 am–11:30 am Members: $12 General Public: $20

How did Portland get this way, with its little square blocks and weird intersections, the funny pronunciations and the bridge ramps to nowhere? Why is it even located where it is? There’s a reason for everything (we didn’t say a good reason…)!

Stone carver’s mistakes, upside-down pineapples, and mythical tunnels are just part of the things true Portland residents should know about. We’ll look at the grid, the naming and re-naming of our streets, and the eras of commercial architecture that have marked our compact and vibrant downtown, as well as the near blitzkrieg effect of the Great Demolition which left us with parking lots where the temples of finance and industry once stood. Long-time AHC Education Committee member Robert Jordan will guide us through 150 years of Portland’s development—a great overview for those just getting interested in Portland’s architectural heritage as well as for anyone who ever wondered “Why did they do THAT?”

Pre-registration is strongly suggested—visit us online at www.VisitAHC.org or use the enclosed registration form.

Revival Styles in American Architecture

Wednesday, April 22, 2015 7:00 pm–8:30 pm Members: $12 General Public: $20

All through the 19th and well into the 20th century, architecture was dominated by eclecticism. Gothic and Italianate Revival dominated for decades but were later supplanted by Greek, Federal, and Colonial revivals. The popularity of all of these architectural styles can still be seen throughout the Portland area.

Please join us as AHC Education Committee member and walking tour docent John Doyle discusses the variety of

“revival” architectural styles we see every day in Portland. John will touch on those styles with which we are most familiar as well as some of the later, less familiar and sometimes more whimsical styles such as Jacobean, Byzantine, Egyptian and even Mudéjar. You’ll be sure to come away from the lecture with a better understanding of the subtle differences and architectural elements that define many of our “Revival” style buildings.


Historic Theaters of NW and SW Portland

Saturday, April 25, 2015 10:00 am–12:00 pm Members: $12 General Public: $20

The final installment of our long-time program series on Portland area neighborhood movie theaters. This chapter concludes with an examination of difficult to find theaters in Northwest Portland as well as a fresh look at some of the southwest movie houses first researched in 2006–07.

Theater historians Steve Stone and Mike Mathews are back—this time to discuss cinemas in Linnton, Nob Hill, Thurman, and other parts of Northwest Portland. This area has proven to be their biggest research challenge so expect some surprise finds and rarely seen photos. They’ll also talk about the smaller theaters of Southwest Portland and Multnomah and maybe some very early downtown nickelodeons. The images and the stories these guys share are a treat and your questions or theater stories are always welcome!

The Basics of Wood Window Repair

Saturday, May 9, 2015 10:00 am–12:00 pm Members: $8 General Public: $12

Contrary to the mass marketing that fills our mailboxes, original windows can be refreshed and repaired to meet today’s energy savings goals. At the same time, preserving original windows also preserves historic character and re-uses material that is inherently sustainable. This workshop covers the basics of identifying problems and repairing the wood windows in our older homes.

Original wood windows are the “eyes of a building” and contribute tremendous charm and authenticity to our older homes. But after many years of openings and closings, coupled with the impacts of seasonal weather changes, our windows can develop a set of maintenance needs that must be attended to.

To address these issues, the AHC welcomes back Patty Spencer, owner of Fresh Air Sash Cord Repair Inc. Patty will share her years of experience in preserving and restoring the function of original, double-hung, wood windows found in homes built in the 1940s and earlier. With a focus on improving function, this workshop will cover the basics that owners of older homes should know, including: signs of window deterioration, preventive maintenance measures, good maintenance and repair practices, plus good ideas about weatherization. Window replacement is not a cost-effective means of saving energy, and is certainly not “green.”

If you love your original, double-hung windows, but just wish they worked better—they can! Come learn to do-it-yourself from a local expert.


Whimsical and Quirky: the Storybook Style

Saturday, May 16, 2015 10:00 am–11:30 am Members: $12 General Public: $20

Do you ever wonder who was inspired to build and promote those fanciful homes of the 1920s and 1930s that seem straight out of a fairy tale? Join us to hear the story of how Portland came to have so many of these whimsical “Storybook Style” homes.

The end of the First World War brought about a time of nostalgia, of lighthearted humor, and rambunctious building creations. It was during this time that home styles in the US began to reflect those of 17th and 18th century Western Europe. An architectural revival to be certain, but with an emphasis on specialty craftsmanship, theatrical flair, and abundant (and sometimes extraordinary) architectural features.

Over time, the style evolved as architects and builders employed charming details and intimate scale in an effort to lighten the hardships of the Depression. Drawing on the work of architects such as A.E. Doyle and Wade Pipes, as well as numerous not-so-well-known Portland area home builders, this presentation promises to be an adventure you won’t soon forget! Our presenters are AHC Education Committee members Leslie Hutchinson and Barbara Fisher. Leslie and Barbara will share the “story” of the Storybook Style, and how it came to be so popular in Portland and elsewhere across the country.

A Benefit of Historic Districts

By Steve Dotterrer; Board Vice President and Advocacy Committee Chair

Given the large number of recent demolitions, especially of houses in Portland’s inner neighborhoods, it is timely to note that one advantage of historic districts is the demolition review required by the Portland Zoning Code, with the possibility of outright denial. In most situations, the code calls for a delay

in demolition to allow for negotiation and the result may be preservation by purchase. But, this should not be the only way to save our heritage and it is not the only way. With National Register properties or National Register

historic districts, Demolition Review, with the possibility of denial, provides another way to save buildings—but it depends upon government regulation.

Portland has had several recent demonstrations of the benefit from historic districts. The first is the Irvington Historic District. There have been no requests for demolition of single family houses since the district was created in 2010, while there have been many demolitions in nearby neighborhoods. The bar to gain approval for demolition under the demolition review procedure is high (and would be very difficult to meet when the applicant is simply replacing one house with another). It appears that this is understood and no one has tried.

The other demonstration of the benefit is the recent City Council decision rejecting the demolition of 1727 NW Hoyt, in Northwest Portland’s Alphabet Historic District. The building in question was an example of streetcar commercial architecture but what really set it apart was its social history—its role as an early maternity hospital operated by a woman. In any case, as required by the code, the Landmarks Commission recommended denial to the Council. The Council confirmed that recommendation, since the applicant’s replacement structure was not deemed special enough to justify demolition of the resource.

Creating an historic district is not easy—it is, at the very least, a multi-year effort. Just ask the folks in Irvington who created their district, or the advocates in Buckman who recently tried and failed. It requires lots of work—research, community organizing and persistence and learning a lot of wonky stuff to create a successful nomination but, the work and the wonk are what saves the historic building.

A new historic district might be the right approach for an area you want to protect. It is not a simple process and both architectural and social history are important in creating a nomination, but the protections are the strongest.

This Fall, the AHC will again be offering a training session on creating an historic district. If you are thinking about protections in a district, this is the session for you, so keep your eye on our calendar.

Strength, Utility, and Beauty: Architectural Metal in the Gilded Age

On exhibit through Summer 2015

Using examples from our collection of nearly 2,000 metal artifacts, this exhibit tells the story of the variety of metals

found in late 19th–early 20th century Portland architecture. Many of these items were produced locally and with some now nearly 150 years old, they were clearly built to last.

Through The Lens of India Cynthia Hovind photography exhibit

Opening Reception April 3rd, 6:00–8:00 pm On exhibit through May 30th

For over two weeks, Cindy traveled by bus through the countryside of Rajasthan, wandered in the Thar Desert with camels, toured the Taj Mahal, spent hours driving across New Delhi, and ventured along the Ganges River in

Varanasi, the holiest city in India. She found the country to be a land of amazing beauty teeming with diverse cultures, colors, and chaos, and her experience is reflected in this exhibition.

Painting Portland—Cityscapes and Quiet MomentsA solo exhibit by Stephen Korbich

Opening Reception June 5th 6:00–8:00 pm On exhibit through August 1st

Architect and artist Stephen Korbich is drawn to quiet places, alleys, vacant lots, industrial things and ruins. He uses his paintings to communicate the way he sees this city. As a follow-up to his very popular 2010 exhibit at the AHC, Stephen is adding to a growing portfolio of work focused on Portland. He hopes that this new body of work will be enjoyed by everyone who loves this city and its quiet moments.
