HAVE YOU ATTENDED AN AHC WALKING TOUR?
As you have probably noticed, for the past couple of years
we have been increasing the number of walking tours we lead
throughout the city. This expansion of our tours increases
public awareness and appreciation of Portland’s wonderful
architectural heritage not only in areas of downtown, but also
in a variety of neighborhoods including Eastmoreland, Ladd’s
Addition, Sunnyside, Sellwood, Piedmont, Albina, Buckman,
and Sullivan’s Gulch, among many others. This year we’ve
added new tours in Garthwick, Kenton, Downtown’s West
End, and in Northwest Portland’s Alphabet District. All of
our neighborhoods have interesting stories to tell and one day
you may just see us walking down your street.
The growth of our walking tour program would not be possible
were it not for the tremendous efforts of our volunteer docents
who spend countless hours researching neighborhoods and
buildings, learning architectural terminology, and developing
interesting and walkable tour routes. Education Manager Val
Ballestrem has been working closely with long-time volunteer
Robert Jordan to coordinate our growing corps of
tour docents and to make sure they are well prepared.
This summer we’re offering another full slate with tours on
Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays and for the first time we will be
offering a Skidmore-Old Town Tour on Wednesday evenings
in July and August. This section of downtown is too often
overlooked, but it includes a wealth of interesting architecture
and the ongoing preservation of this National Landmark
Historic District is something of which we should all be aware.
We hope you’ll consider joining us for one (or more) walking
tours this summer. We have a limited capacity, so after
checking the tour listings in this newsletter, head over to
the AHC website or give us a call for the most up to date
information about tour dates, times, and availability.
Thank you to the sponsors of our
2015 Walking Tours for their generous support:

Director’s Column
Ruminations on an Award
By Cathy Galbraith
I was recently honored with an
“Architectural Legacy” award from the
Northwest Examiner, and joined a
group of other award recipients at a
wonderful event at the new home of
the Pacific Northwest College of Art.
Seeing the newly transformed former
federal building at 511 NW Broadway was an experience in
itself; years ago we organized a tour to see the inside of the sadly
vacant building. What a phenomenal change and the perfect
setting for a celebration!
I was asked to make some remarks on my historic preservation
experiences and it made me look back over the past three
decades. Among my “lessons learned”—historic resources
don’t need to be sacrificed for economic development. In
1980, I was the Planning Director for Oregon City and our
visionary city council adopted a new comprehensive plan and
implementing ordinances, after 88 often contentious public
hearings. In one action, two historic districts and 188 individual
landmark buildings were protected.
Along with that victory, however, the city’s largest employer
(Publishers Paper) objected to the landmarking of the oldest
woolen mill building in the western U.S. and two of the three
oldest commercial buildings in the state of Oregon. They wanted
to retain all of their options for their property and the city council
respected their wishes. A few years later, demolition permits
were filed in anticipation of a new paper machine that promised
hundreds of new jobs and tax revenues. The three buildings were
demolished (after full documentation and photography) and the
piles of bricks were hauled away as construction debris. (Someone
brought me a brick that I still have—a souvenir of a sad and
ultimately needless preservation loss).
But—a year or so later, plans for the new paper machine
were scrapped when the bottom fell out of the paper market.
In the end, Oregon City and the state of Oregon lost three
undeniably important historic buildings—for nothing. Publishers
Paper later became another company and the entire paper
mill complex eventually closed.
Today, Oregon City’s elected and appointed officials are working
courageously on the adaptive reuse of the entire mill site, as
a key part of a strategy for economic development through
heritage tourism, and other related development plans that will
bring—yes, jobs. I can’t help but think about how important
those three historic buildings would be today, as part of the
site’s attractions at Willamette Falls. And—since then, I’ve
never believed that our building heritage must be sacrificed for
economic development and jobs. We all know better! I also
do not believe that we must sacrifice our vintage housing
stock throughout Portland’s neighborhoods—to meet the
city’s density goals, and maintain the urban growth boundary.
More on that on our blog, Portland Preservation.
PRESIDENT’s column
Under Fire, but
Preservation is Alive
and Well
By Fred Leeson
A few weeks ago, I pulled into the
parking lot of the Albertina Kerr
Center (a magnificent landmark
building, by the way) just as a big
machine was taking its first destructive bite from a small house
nearby on Northeast Glisan Street. When I returned after a
history presentation and a wonderful Kerr luncheon, the little
residence was no more. A house that existed for close to a
century had been obliterated in less than two hours.
Seeing old buildings fall or burn used to sadden me as a child,
long before I knew anything about history or architecture. I
feel the same way today. You’ve probably read much about
the demolition of old houses in Portland, and I will spare you
another tirade. Seeing the speedy demise of the little house on
Glisan, along with the loss of Middle Eastern antiquities at the
hands of ISIS extremists, reminded me of a thought that struck
me years ago as a college student: “It is so much easier to destroy
than to create.”
Now I’ll suggest a corollary: “It is so much easier to destroy
than to preserve.”

Legacy Giving
The good news, however, is that preservation is still alive
and well, though almost always a struggle. This spring, three
members of the Bosco-Milligan Foundation’s board of directors
are working on two preservation projects that in the coming
months could become significant preservation victories. Of
course, I’d like to tell you all the details so we can start preparing
for the celebrations. It would be premature to do so, however,
and disclosure might upset negotiations that are not yet final.
Difficult as it is, I’ll keep my trap shut for now. I can tell you that
one involves a building of such architectural merit that anyone
could take one look and say, “Goodness, isn’t that wonderful.”
Help Save the Best of the Past for the Future
The other potential “save” is a small, plain-looking structure
that likely would not draw a second glance for its design. Yet
it comprises a vital piece of Portland civic, neighborhood and
ethnic history that deserves to be remembered and honored.
It is proof that landmark buildings can be recognized for
important events that occurred within them or for important
people associated with them, rather than for architectural
significance alone. We must put to rest the idea that “landmark”
automatically means large and/or architecturally imposing.
I hope these preservation victories can be celebrated in
coming months. It will be a joy and a relief to think that these
buildings will be spared from the steel claws of our relentless
machines of destruction.
Remembering the Architectural Heritage Center in your will
is a lasting way to support preservation of our building history
into the future. Our founders, Jerry Bosco and Ben Milligan,
did just that to bring their vision of an education center
focused on heritage conservation to life. Their gift inspired
others – and this year, we are celebrating the 10th anniversary
of the opening of the Center—a dream realized.
Every gift—no matter the size—will help ensure that
the Center’s advocacy efforts and educational resources
will continue to have significant impact. The federal tax
identification number for our parent organization, the
Bosco-Milligan Foundation, is 94-3090169. Please contact
Holly Chamberlain at 503.231.7264 or hollyc@VisitAHC.org
if you have questions. We thank you for considering a
bequest for the AHC in your legacy planning—and future
preservationists thank you.
Actor Patrick Stewart on Portland:
Well, first of all, it’s a very handsome town. I’ve
always enjoyed architecture, and there is so much
fine 19th-Century architecture, early-20th-Century,
which I hope Portland will preserve. I’m sure it will.

Historic Homes of the Alphabet
District—Part I
Thursday, July 2, 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 look at the wonderful historic homes
that define a large portion of this National Register Historic District.
Skidmore—Old Town
Historic District
Wednesdays at 6:00 pm: July 8, 15, 22, 29 and
August 5, 12, 19, 26
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 produced locally.
Once a separate city from Portland, Albina has
a lengthy and diverse history—along with some
fascinating architecture. This tour explores
old Albina from stories of early proprietors
and its development as a railroad town, to its
transformation into the heart of Portland’s
African-American community and the impacts of urban renewal.
Modernism and Beyond: The
Architecture of Downtown (North)
Saturday, July 18, 2015 at 10:00 am
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. You’ll see
the work of iconic architect Pietro Belluschi as well
as 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.
The South Park Blocks:
A Cultural Mandate
Sunday, September 20, 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 while listening to
stories about the area’s history and architecture. The South Park Blocks
stand alone as a place of revitalization, refreshment and cultural allure.
Alameda Neighborhood Tour
Historic Sellwood
Come learn the “checkerboard history” of
Sellwood. Before it became a part of the City of
Portland in 1893, Sellwood was an independent,
incorporated town. This tour takes you through
a section of the original Sellwood tract where
you’ll see a variety of houses and commercial buildings, some dating
back to the town’s earliest days.
Downtown Oregon City:
the First Capital of Oregon
Come and explore the downtown of Oregon’s
first incorporated city. On this walk you’ll see
buildings and landmarks along Main Street, including the historic Arch
Bridge connecting Oregon City to West Linn. You’ll also learn about
the history of the city that was platted by Dr. John McLoughlin and was
once the capital of the Oregon Territory and the end of the Oregon Trail.
Pg. 4
Historic Albina
Take an enjoyable stroll back through
time to examine the events, forces and
players that shaped this northeast Portland
neighborhood. The walk will trace a
portion of the old Broadway Streetcar line as it highlights Alameda’s
prolific homebuilders and architectural styles. The stories you’ll hear will
help you better understand the layers of history that give Alameda such
distinction. This tour is moderately strenuous.
Lair Hill Neighborhood
Named for pioneering Portland lawyer
and newspaper editor William Lair Hill,
this residential neighborhood is one of
Portland’s oldest. Lair Hill contains a
fascinating mix of historic homes, along
with notable buildings significant for their connections to the city’s early
immigrant populations. It’s also a neighborhood that was impacted by
urban renewal and freeway development.
Walking Tours (Continued)
The History of Irvington
as told along NE Tillamook
and Beyond
Yamhill Historic District
and Beyond
Saturday, August 1, 2015 at 10:00 am
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 Portland’s early Chinese
immigrant community.
Pioneers to Postmodern
Downtown Tour
Thursday, August 6, 2015 at 6:00 pm
Take a whirlwind tour of the entire range
of Portland’s architectural history. You’ll
learn about the first wooden structures
near the river as well as the elaborate
cast iron, stone and terra cotta decorated
buildings of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. From there you will
be transported into the modern age and the sleek designs of Pietro
Belluschi and the Post Modernism of Michael Graves.
Thursday, August 13, 2015
at 6:00 pm
The largest National Register Historic
District in Portland, Irvington
encompasses 583 acres and 2,800 buildings. This tour explores only a
small slice of a remarkable neighborhood, including the work of notable
architects like Joseph Jacobberger and Ellis Lawrence—all with the goal
of providing a broader understanding of the fascinating and rich history of
this one-time streetcar suburb.
Modernism and Beyond:
The Architecture of Downtown
(South)
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.
Historic Kenton Neighborhood
Historic Multi-Family
Housing of NW Portland
In the early 20th century, Kenton was
the heart of Portland’s meat packing
industry and home to the largest livestock
exchange on the West Coast. Swift &
Company, through various subsidiaries,
platted, developed, and heavily influenced
the industrial, commercial and residential
growth of Kenton. This tour shows how
a dominant employer influenced the housing stock of management and
labor in a neighborhood that possessed many elements of a company town.
Mid-Town and the West
End: Icons, Hidden Gems
and Historic Preservation
Sunday, August 16, 2015 at 11:00 am
Northwest Portland’s Alphabet
District is often thought of for its
beautiful mansions, when in fact, it
has a surprising history as a “rental”
district. The Couch family 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 aspects of
this fascinating neighborhood.
Sunday, August 9, 2015 at 2:00 pm
Explore downtown between the
South Park Blocks and I-405—an
area filled with iconic buildings
as well as numerous lesser-known
architectural gems. You’ll see historic
apartment houses, storefronts, cultural and religious buildings, and
the remnants of what was once a thriving residential area, while also
gaining an understanding of the impacts of development on historic
preservation efforts. For those driving to the tour, consider parking
near SW 12th and Main as this is close to the tour’s end point.
Terra Cotta Downtown
Thursday, August 20, 2015 at 6:00 pm
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 architect A.E.
Doyle, and others, also shows us how, by
1910, the city’s central business district
had moved west of 4th Avenue.

Ever wonder who lived in your house before you...or what your
house looked like originally...and why is there a bathroom on
the back porch? Researching the history of your house can
answer those questions and many others you might have. It can
even shed light on the development of
your neighborhood.
Please join us as historians Tibby O’Brien
and Morgen Young take you through
the steps to uncover the history of your
vintage house (as well as any other
building). Using the latest online sources, local archives, and
libraries, they will show you that the process is not so mysterious
when you know what steps to follow and where to look.

West coast cities boomed in the early 20th Century, propelled by
soaring international trade and exploding growth of agriculture
and natural resources. Portland was no exception—in the
years from 1900 to 1910 Portland’s population grew by 130%!
The rapid growth and early adoption of electric streetcar
transportation led to the rise of “suburban” developments, most
of which sprawled across the relatively flat East Side of the city.
This richly illustrated lecture explores the confluence
of architectural taste changes and urban development
that resulted in our amazingly rich heritage of residential
architecture. This is especially timely in that our
quintessentially “Portland” neighborhoods are all too often
being targeted for demolition and redevelopment to the
dismay of residents who cherish that which helps define
Portland as a unique place to live.

Gallery Exhibit
Heritage Auction
Strength, Utility,
and Beauty:
Architectural Metal
in the Gilded Age
Due to popular demand,
Strength, Utility, and Beauty is
continuing into the fall. This
fascinating exhibit, curated
by historian Morgen Young,
uses examples from the
Bosco-Milligan Foundation’s
collection of nearly 2,000v
metal artifacts to tell the story of how metals were commonly
used in late 19th– early 20th century Portland architecture.
Among the artifacts you’ll see in the exhibit is an amazing
cast-iron griffin from the 1883 Kamm Block, giant hand cut
sheet-iron musical instruments that once adorned the cornice of
the Allen Music Store, and our latest addition, the only known
hand drawn presentation drawing of a cast-iron building in
Portland. Donated to the AHC by Craig Kiest on behalf of the
late Wallace K. Huntington, this drawing by architect Richard
Martin Jr. for the architectural office of Warren H. William
and Justus Krumbein, combines the work of three notable and
important 19th century Portland architects.
Logos, Monograms, and Corporate Imagery:
The Fine Ornament of Emblematic Hardware
With pieces from around the US, this exhibit shows how
individuals, businesses, fraternal organizations, and even
educational facilities once used doorknobs to reinforce their
identity. Included in the display are doorknobs from the 1892
Oregonian tower (demolished in 1951), the Oregon Hotel
(now the Benson), and the Multnomah Athletic Club. You’ll
also see a variety of monograms and symbols, many of which
are of unknown origin, in addition to several examples from the
Elks, Masons, Odd Fellows, and the Woodmen of the World.

From the Advocacy Committee
The New Demolition Delay
Rules and Your Neighborhood
By Steve Dotterrer; Board
Vice President and Advocacy
Committee Chair
On April 20th, Portland’s new demolition delay requirements
went into effect. The automatic 35 day delay and the possibility
of a 60 day extension for a total delay of 95 days, seems like
a long time (especially if you are the developer). But almost
everyone who has been involved in trying to save an existing
house will tell you that it takes much longer and will be more
work than you expected. The rewards are great, but it is worth
spending some time now to be prepared.
delays. The demolition delay provisions also apply only
to certain lands in the City—those that are zoned R for
residential. This includes both the traditional single family
and most multi-family zoned areas. The city’s “Main Streets”
are often a mix of R zones and commercial zones, so these
provisions for notice and delay will only apply to some of
the houses on those streets. Get to know your zoning and
if any of the houses in your neighborhood are subject to
even greater review because they are landmarks or in
historic districts. You can find out your neighborhood
zoning at the BDS website (www.portlandoregon.gov/bds)
or at Portlandmaps.com.
4. Do you know your neighbors and your association
representatives?
All Appeals must include:
To save an existing house under these rules you have to have
a fairly extensive plan and access to some funds. Few of us
have the time and money to do this on our own. Even to get
the sixty day extension means meeting with the owner who
proposes the demolition and understanding what would get
them to resell the property to a buyer willing to keep the
house. It also means having an estimate of the costs involved
in keeping the existing building, if any, or moving it to a
new location. In addition, you will need an initial estimate
of the costs and a financing or fundraising plan. Getting all
this done in thirty days is hard work, so knowing in advance
your neighbors and their willingness to spend time and
money saving a house is a good idea. So when you have your
neighborhood block party or barbecue this summer, talk
to your neighbors about these issues—which buildings or
areas are critical to you? What are the different skills that
people might offer for any rescue effort? Who is skilled at
negotiation? At research? It will take a team to get the house
saved—who do you want on your team?
• Copy of the letter sent to the property owner requesting a
meeting to discuss alternatives to demolition. Include a copy
of the certified or registered mail receipt(s).
Get to know your official Neighborhood Association
Representatives. They can save you money on the appeal
and are a good source of advice on how to proceed.
• Evidence of the property’s significance to the neighborhood.
Members of AHC have had some inspiring successes saving
houses—like the Goldsmith House in NW, and also in moving
houses. These successes happened under old rules. The new
rules give advocates some “official” time to make the save.
But it is a good idea to be prepared. Are you ready?
If you live in a neighborhood where demolitions are likely and
you care about existing character (and don’t we all?) it is a good
idea to gather some advance knowledge, before the you get the
notice of demolition.
1. Do you know what the new demolition rules are?
See www.portlandoregon.gov/bds/article/525779 to get started.
There are links to lots of specific information there.
The demolition delay of 35 days and the notification
requirement applies to all Demolition Permits and also to
Major Alteration Permits. The possibility of an extension
for 60 additional days is only available in the case where a
demolition is proposed. To get the extension requires that
an appeal form be filed.
2. Do you know the requirements for an appeal?
• Narrative describing the plan to save the structure (buying
the existing house and site, or arranging to move the house

3. Do you know your neighborhood zoning?
At the AHC, we follow a number of the demolition proposals
and are working at the policy level to strengthen the rules
and regulations for demolitions. We often comment and raise
concerns when significant historic houses are proposed for
demolition. Remember, this is a city-wide issue and the same
process applies to most demolition applications.
The demolition delay provisions only apply to the demolition
of single family houses. Apartments or commercial and
institutional building demolitions are not subject to these

FUNDRAISING NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Painting Portland—
Cityscapes and
Quiet Moments
A solo exhibit by Stephen Korbich
Continues 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 Portland. As a followup to his very popular 2010 exhibit at the AHC, Stephen opened
this exhibit in June. He hopes that this new body of work will be
inspirational to everyone who loves this city and its quiet moments.

Urban Portland
A solo exhibit by Gary Buhler
Opening Reception August 7th, 6:00–8:00 pm
On exhibit through September 29th
For the last several years, Artist and George Fox University
Professor of Art, Gary Buhler has been painting urban landscapes.
He finds that he enjoys exploring architectural elements and
the spaces we occupy. This exhibit features details of many
recognizable historic buildings and spaces in Portland. In these
landscapes Gary strives to organize and surprise as he expresses
feelings and ideas about culture and humanity. Color, contrast, and
texture are his favorite tools in this exploration.

Special ANNOUNCEMENT
Introducing New Nonprofit Software
for the AHC
After months of testing, evaluation and training, the AHC
is pleased to announce that we are now using a new—and
much improved—database system. NeonCRM was developed
by individuals from the nonprofit world specifically for other
nonprofits. It is a cloud-based product and allows AHC staff,
members, volunteers and friends to easily update personal
information and sign up for programs and events.
Benefits for AHC members, volunteers and friends:
• Ability to securely update personal information
• Ability to securely sign up and pay for education programs,
walking tours and other events
• Ability to securely initiate or renew memberships and donations
Benefits for AHC staff:
• Ease of access to data in the office or in the field
• Secure synchronization with QuickBooks for more accurate
record keeping
• Faster processing and notification for education programs,
walking tours and other events
• Easier tracking for membership, fundraising, programs,
events and volunteers
What you need to know:
• Everyone should create a login/user name and password.
• Program registrants should watch their inbox (and spam
filter, just in case). The program registration email will
serve as your ticket.
• If you do not use online registration, it is important that you
call or come to the AHC for up to date program information.
• If you mail in your registration, please note that we must receive
the registrations no later than 10 days before the program(s).
• All registrations are first come, first served.
We are very pleased with this efficient, easy-to-use new software
and we hope you will be equally pleased. Please bear with us as
we work through a few kinks over the coming months. Let us
know if you have any problems and we will strive to make this
transition as seamless as possible for all concerned. This is a big
move forward for our organization. Many thanks to the generous
donors who made this possible!

Volunteer recognition and Opportunities
What a productive time it has been for AHC volunteers! The year

tours are again underway. All of these activities are made possible
with the help of our dedicated volunteers. Thanks to all of you!
We recognized two of our own as Volunteers of the Year- Nancy
Carr and Eileen Fitzsimons—for their exceptional efforts in so
many different activities during 2014. Thank you so much!
