It’s time once again for the AHC’s longest running education program. The 14th Annual Kitchen Revival Tour will be held (appropriately) on April 14th. The 2011 tour had the largest ever attendance and we think this year’s tour will be just as fun, informative, and interesting.

If you are thinking of renovating your own kitchen or maybe you just love seeing inside some of Portland’s wonderful vintage homes, regardless of the reason, this tour will delight you. Eight homes have been carefully selected by our AHC Kitchen Revival Tour selection

committee to display a variety, from intact original kitchens, to those painstakingly restored to reflect the home’s original style. Whether your kitchen is big or small, you’ll see how even the most modest of kitchens can be “modernized” to meet your needs and 21st century lifestyle, while also retaining historic character and charm.

This year’s tour selection includes homes from the 1890s to the 1960s. Along the way you’ll see the fine work of local craftsmen and meet homeowners eager to share their kitchen renovation and preservation stories. This tour truly represents the AHC’s mission of inspiring people to conserve the art, craft, and context of historic buildings and places.

We hope you’ll join us for this one of a kind and always popular program!

By Cathy Galbraith

In mid-2007, the National Trust for Historic Preservation announced a new initiative with perfect timing for the Bosco-Milligan Foundation and our activities at the Architectural Heritage Center. The NTHP offered

three years of matching funds for successful applicants for the new “Partners in the Field” program, with specific requirements. Under the moniker of “expanded field services,” PITF partners were expected to ramp up community outreach, technical assistance, and programs—to meet the community’s identified preservation needs. Here at the BMF/AHC, we viewed this as an opportunity to launch a new focus on preservation advocacy, in conjunction with our continuing mission of historic preservation education.

The AHC had been open and operating for just over 2 years…our programs had increased 4-fold as intended and AHC exhibits were following their established schedule. But just as important were growing requests for attention to specific preservation challenges out in the community—everything from help forming historic districts to getting a handle on tear-downs and new developments in traditional neighborhoods.

We prepared our PITF pre-application to the National Trust and got the green-light to submit a full application. We were not so presumptuous to think that we already knew all of the preservation needs and interests of the Portland Metro Area—our application

Planning For the FutureBy Fred Leeson

Being on the far side of 60, I notice fleeting moments when I realize that maybe I won’t live forever after all.

I find reassuring in those seconds to know there is a way that I can continue trying to preserve the values that meant so much to me during my brief shaft of light. Perhaps you know where I’m headed: My assets, meager though they might be, can continue to speak for me after my mouth is silent. But only if I award them to entities committed to advocating for the kind of society I’d like to see us achieve.

If you care about history and about Portland’s vast collection of wonderful old houses, neighborhoods and vintage buildings, I hope you’ll join me in thinking about the Bosco-Milligan Foundation in your estate plans.

We learned during our strategic planning sessions last year that we need to do a better job suggesting planned giving to our supporters. It is a vital tool in building an endowment that will help us smooth out the periodic busts in the economy. We’ve been so busy in recent

Director’s column

PresiDent’s column

included full “preservation needs assessments” to help determine our agenda. (And, after our award, the inside scoop was “the BMF/AHC application was in a class all by itself, by beginning with a community assessment, and then designing programs to meet it.”) We weren’t even daunted by the directive that matching-funds needed to be raised in minimum increments of $10,000, and that there were 5-month lags between match-billings and receipt of NTHP funds! This was pre-recession, after all. (We finally met our $150,000 match requirement in Spring, 2011.)

On June 30, 2012 our formal “Partners in the Field” program with the National Trust will come to a close. What does this mean for our Preservation Advocacy agenda? Well, we are doing exactly what the NTHP intended—continuing the work we’ve devoted so much attention to. Preservation advocacy is now an expected major mission of the BMF/AHC. We will continue to need your support, given the end of matching funds from the National Trust (Many thanks to those of you who contributed to our Year-End Appeal to begin that transition to financial independence.) We are proud of our accomplishments to date—35 PITF programs and more to come; countless hours devoted to the Portland Plan and its other related plans; technical assistance and field services focused on a range of neighborhood-specific challenges and land use applications, and building an expanding network of people like you…We trust that you will alert us to whatever and wherever preservation challenges arise!

Historic Preservation Advocacy in 2012 and Beyond

years restoring the Architectural Heritage Center, caring for the collection, developing educational programs and advocating for sound public policy that we have not paid enough attention to endowment-building.

Estate planning is the realm of accredited experts, not me. To stimulate your thinking, I can offer some simple descriptions of basic tools:

Unrestricted bequests. These can be money or real property •designated in a will. The BMF does not accumulate real property, but there may be circumstances where it’s easier for us to liquidate than you. Charitable remainder trusts. You put assets in a trust which •pays income to you (or to other beneficiaries) for life and the remainder goes to the designated charity after death.IRA or retirement account beneficiary. You list a charity as the •beneficiary on your IRA or 401(k) retirement account, and the charity receives whatever remains in the account at your death.

Of course, it’s easier to pretend we’ll live forever. But I hope you’ll join me in not taking the easy path. Let’s make sure our interest in Portland and its architectural history out-live us.

WalKinG tours

All spring quarter walking tours begin at 6:30pm and last approximately 90 minutes. See tour descriptions for specific meeting locations. Tours have limited capacity; sign up early to ensure your spot!

King’s Hill Historic District Thursday, May 3, 2012

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 fairly strenuous walk.

Please meet your tour docents and chaperones at the SW Park Place entrance to Washington Park at the base of the stairway.

Skidmore/Old Town Historic District Thursday, May 10, 2012

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.

Please meet your tour docents and chaperones at the Skidmore Fountain on SW 1st Avenue and Ankeny.

Sullivan’s Gulch Neighborhood Thursday, May 17, 2012

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.

Please meet your tour docents and chaperones at the northeast corner of Holladay Park: NE 13th and Multnomah.

Portland Heights + Vista Avenue Thursday, June 14, 2012

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 fairly strenuous walk.

Please meet your tour docents and chaperones on the sidewalk next to the Ainsworth School playground—at the end of SW Spring St., just west of SW Vista Ave.

Downtown Portland Terra Cotta Thursday, June 21, 2012

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 A.E. Doyle, also shows us how, by 1910, the city’s central business district had moved west of 4th Avenue.

Please meet your tour docents and chaperones at the fountain at Pioneer Courthouse Square.

Hollywood Neighborhood Thursday, June 28, 2012

The namesake for this thriving northeast Portland neighborhood is the iconic Hollywood Theatre which opened in 1926. Beyond the theatre lies a fascinating blend of residential and commercial architecture. This tour takes you to both sides of Sandy Boulevard, where you’ll see lots of historic character, but also the impacts of ongoing redevelopment activities.

Please meet your tour docents and chaperones on the sidewalk east of the entrance to the Hollywood Theatre.

Moving and Shaking Portland: 18 Key People for 18 Decades

Thursday April 26, 2012 7:00 pm–8:30 pm Members: $10 General Public: $18

From settlement in the 1840s until today, people have shaped our city—perhaps more than anything else. Join us for this special presentation as Historian Carl Abbott leads a brisk tour through Portland’s past, highlighting some of the businessmen, politicians, reformers, and artists who have molded the city as a place to work and to live.

Who are the individuals who did the most to shape Portland in the 1850s, not to mention the 1890s, 1950s and 1990s? Did people shape the city or did the city shape us? This presentation will draw attention to key players in the history of Portland. Audience members are invited to contribute their own lists and suggestions of key individuals for each of the city’s eighteen decades from the 1840s and into the twenty-first century.

Dr. Carl Abbott is a long-time AHC member and Professor of Urban Studies and Planning at Portland State University. He is the author of a number of books about Portland, including Portland in Three Centuries: the Place and the People, recently published in 2011 by the Oregon State University Press.

A Quest for Convenience: The Evolution of the Kitchen Appliance

Saturday April 28, 2012 10:00 am–11:30 am Members: $10 General Public: $18

Today we take for granted the ranges, refrigerators, toasters, and dishwashers that inhabit our kitchens. In this image-packed presentation, by AHC Kitchen Revival Tour committee chair Karla Pearlstein, we’ll examine the history of kitchen appliances—how they’ve changed over time and how they’ve changed our lives.

Ever wonder how the dishwasher, refrigerator, or lowly toaster came to be? Or how we came to cook on a stove instead of an open fire or an open hearth? In A Quest for Convenience, we’ll explore how those modern appliances that we use every day evolved. This image filled journey may surprise you, and give you a deeper appreciation for those creature comfort appliances that we know and love.

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

Members: $10 | General Public: $15In order to meet increased demand, we’re expanding our walking tour program. From May through September we are offering a walking tour every Thursday evening in some portion of the city (downtown and in historic neighborhoods as well). Below is a list of the tours we will be offering this spring. The remaining schedule will be outlined in the summer newsletter and on the AHC website. We hope you’ll join us for some architectural history mixed with a little exercise! Pre-registration is REQUIRED for all tours—visit us online at www.VisitAHC.org or use the enclosed registration form.

Love where you live.

Lair Hill Neighborhood Thursday, May 24, 2012

One of Portland’s oldest residential neighborhoods, Lair Hill contains a fascinating mix of historic homes, along with notable buildings significant for their connections to the city’s immigrant populations. It’s also a neighborhood that was impacted by urban renewal. Come along and you’ll also learn that the neighborhood’s namesake might not be what you think it is!

Please meet your tour docents and chaperones in front of the Lair Hill Bistro: 2823 SW 1st Ave.

Yamhill Historic District and Beyond Thursday, May 31, 2012

What is today the Yamhill 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 also home to the city’s early Chinese immigrant community.

Please meet your tour docents and chaperones at the northeast corner of Lownsdale Square: SW 3rd and Salmon St.

East Portland/Grand Avenue Historic District Thursday, June 7, 2012

Along what was once the main commercial spine, in the original and separate city of East Portland, lies an amazing mix of architecture from Italianate to Art Deco. You’ll learn about the well-known Barber Block—a one time mortuary and of course West’s Block—one of the oldest building’s in the area and home to the AHC.

Please meet your tour docents and chaperones at the Architectural Heritage Center: 701 SE Grand Avenue.

Concrete Houses of Portland

Wednesday, May 16, 2012 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm Members: $10 General Public: $18

In the early twentieth century, concrete challenged Portland’s ubiquitous timber as the building material of choice for

“modern” residences. As early as 1906, Portland architects and builders had begun constructing homes from solid concrete blocks formed to look like stone. In the ensuing years, local builders experimented with the “Edison mold”—houses built entirely of continuous poured concrete panels. Concrete houses never became the norm in Portland, but numerous fine examples can still be found in all quarters of the city.

Architectural historian Jack Bookwalter will share his research on these great, sometimes quirky, and always interesting homes. Examples include: homes built from blocks molded by their owners, homes built from molds provided

by the Miracle Pressed Stone Company, “Company Town” housing built for the management of the Swift Meat Packing Company, and Sears concrete block houses.

Program attendees will be provided with self-guided tour maps showing the locations of many of the homes mentioned during the lecture. Some concrete houses may even show up on the following evening’s Sullivan’s Gulch walking tour!

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

The Olmsted Brothers’ Park and Boulevard Plan

Saturday, May 19, 2012 10:00 am–11:30 am Members: $10 General Public: $18

In 1903, the Olmsted Brothers of Brookline, Massachusetts, were hired by the City of Portland to create a plan for a vast network of city parks and landscaped boulevards. The Olmsteds were well known and revered for their citywide planning and landscape designs. Their plan for Portland included many places we know today, such as Terwilliger Boulevard and Mt. Tabor Park, but some parts of the plan were never implemented; other parks that existed in 1903—perhaps most notably Hawthorne Park—have since been lost.

Join us as William Hawkins, FAIA and Wes Risher provide an introduction to the origins of Portland’s park system, with its roots firmly planted in the Olmsteds’ 1903 plan. Among his many credentials, Hawkins (a long-time BMF/AHC board member) is on the board of Portland Parks and Recreation and is co-chair of the National Association of Olmsted Parks. Wes Risher works with the Friends of Terwilliger, who are planning a centennial celebration for the boulevard later this year.

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

From Factory to You: Kit Houses in Portland and the U.S.

Saturday, June 16, 2012 10:00 am–11:30 am Tuesday, June 26, 2012 7:00 pm–8:30 pm Members: $10 General Public: $18

From the early 1900s until the Second World War, so-called “mail order” houses played an integral role in the U.S. real estate market. The ability to mass produce and ship entire home kits epitomized post industrial revolution manufacturing and marketing. Join us as historian and AHC Education Manager Val Ballestrem takes a fresh look at the mail order house phenomenon and its impact on Portland.

With the advent of the industrial revolution, the first “mail order catalog revolution” was not far behind. By the late 19th century, not only could you purchase furniture, house wares, and clothing through catalogs, you could order new millwork, plumbing, and lighting fixtures too. As the popularity of buying by mail grew, savvy timber and construction companies, along with two giants of the mail order world Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward, began marketing entire homes that you could order straight out of a catalog. In addition to Sears and Wards, you could order a cottage, bungalow, foursquare, Tudor, or even a ranch style home from companies such as Aladdin, Gordon-Van Tine, and Fenner Manufacturing. The home kits were typically shipped from factories to the rail depot nearest you. In the Pacific Northwest, several mail order house companies had their own factories, making it even easier for the average person to take delivery of their new residence.

Thanks to the very generous gifts in her memory, this program is presented in honor of the late Barbara Grimala, a longtime AHC volunteer, Education Committee member and mail order house aficionado.

The Basics of Wood Window Repair

Saturday May 5, 2012 10:00 am–Noon Members: $8 General Public: $15

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 of course the fact that you are re-using material 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 Patty Spencer, owner of Fresh Air Sash Cord Repair Inc (freshairsash.com). 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 and repair practices, plus good ideas about weatherization. Window replacement is not an 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.

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

What could be more fitting for our very last formal “Partners in the Field” National-Trust-supported preservation advocacy program than the subject we started our initiative with—the Portland Plan? As all of the related planning work has proceeded, we’ve participated every step of the way—and we find that there is lots of public confusion out there. Of course, we want to dispel that and we have just the right program to do it!

Join us on Saturday, June 30th as we bring together the very best experts who will help untangle the Portland Plan maze for us all. The city’s Bureau of Planning and Sustainability will be sending their upper echelon staff, joined by Central City Stakeholders chairman Chet Orloff, and Citizen Involvement leader Linda Nettekoven, who will together address:

The Portland Plan—where are we at, what’s the timeline for completion and adoption? The Central City Plan/2035—where and how does it fit with the overall Portland Plan?

Great News for the Future of Preservation Education in the Northwest

Art Demuro is a long time friend and loyal supporter of the AHC and the preservation community. His recent $2.8 million

gift to the University of Oregon Historic Preservation Program ensures a bright future for our cause.

President of Venerable Group, Inc., Art has been a champion of the Historic Preservation Program for many years, giving generously of his time through guest lectures and mentoring students, serving on an

advisory board and through many key charitable gifts. This investment promises to significantly improve an already excellent program, and is among the largest gifts ever given in the nation to an academic preservation program.

“My goal is to increase the educational opportunities for those who want to seek training in historic preservation,” DeMuro said. “My hope is that others who have a passion for this work and the means to make similar gifts will want to join in and make it a bigger effort.”

Thank you to Art and all of our members who make a difference in the field of preservation.

The AHC is attempting to do our part to reduce the consumption of trees and energy, AND make your membership and donation dollars go further. Whenever possible, we want to send you communications by email rather than postal mail. With your help, we can email renewal notices and keep you informed of special events and opportunities that do not make it into our printed newsletter.

If you are not receiving emails from us, we do not have a working email address for you. Your email address will never be sold or shared, and will be used only to send AHC official mailings.
