Portland Spaces Historical Homes Timeline

The Portland Spaces website is up and my absolute favorite feature is the historical timeline of single family homes in Portland starting in the 1840’s. There is also an upcoming lecture called “Houses that Make History”. See more details here.
I could look at old photographs for hours. In college I volunteered at the Lane County Historical Museum helping catalog old photographs for a new database. A good number of the photos were by a local photographer in the 50’s who went around photographing homes that were set for demolition. How thoughtful of him to preserve those homes as best he could for future generations to see.
