More than most regions of similar size, the Portland area is home to literally
dozens of wonderful residential neighborhoods. We will be celebrating these
terrific places and honoring the people who want to keep them vibrant
and beautiful at the Bosco-Milligan Foundation’s annual “Riches of a City”
banquet/auction on Saturday, October 18, at the historic Melody Ballroom.

You’ve probably seen in the news—or on your very own street—the impacts
of residential demolitions, by which our vintage, affordable housing stock is
being replaced either with skinny houses or McMansions. Success at this
year’s auction, “Neighbors in Preservation,” will help the Bosco-Milligan
Foundation assist in the fight to preserve and renovate houses that deserve to
continue playing their vital roles in the fabric of our great neighborhoods.
Our festivities will include visual tours of many Portland-area neighborhoods
filled with grand old houses both large and small. We also will be saying
thanks to neighborhood activists who are trying to protect their vintage
neighborhoods at the grassroots level.
Auction attendees will be able to shop for the usual fascinating array of
silent auction items, including antiques, books, wine, furnishings, ephemera,
tableware, home décor, and just plain weird fun stuff. Oral auction items
include vacation packages and special exciting events you won’t find anywhere
else, plus an amazing large-scale painting by the late Portland architect Will
Martin, AIA, known for his design for Pioneer Courthouse Square.
The auction is the largest fund-raiser of the year for the preservation,
education, and advocacy work of the Architectural Heritage Center.

Director’s Column
Cures for the Epidemic of
Demolitions—News from
the Front
We need your continued participation and support! You’ve helped
immensely, building consensus around a series of “cures” for the
Demolitions epidemic that will ultimately be achieved.
By Cathy Galbraith
Efforts to slow the Epidemic of Demolitions are inching forward
in the bureaucratic maze that changes city code language. In
July, Portland’s preservation community packed the City Council
chambers to voice their personal experiences of what’s degrading our
neighborhoods—the demolition of one-house-at-a-time, and another,
and another. Some brought photos of bulldozers spitting out pieces of
beautiful old houses and trees mowed down by the dozens.
We joined our other partners who make up the Portland Coalition
for Historic Resources and organized initial testimony to set the
stage for the many who followed. We called for two immediate
changes—(1) A Definition of Demolition, to eliminate the farce
of calling virtual demolitions (such as leaving one remaining
concrete slab) a “Remodel.” (2) Require Notice and Minimum
35 Day Delay for All Demolition applications—to eliminate the
current practice of no notice for one replacement house (with
demolition and new house permits filed at the same time.) We
think these changes will happen this fall.
Mayor Hales and Commissioners Fritz and Novick paid genuine
attention to the four hours of marathon testimony, leaving no
doubt that neighborhoods throughout the city are changing, with
the steady erosion of the distinctive character of each one. The
once-a-trickle of demolitions now feels like an avalanche. Some
builders maintain that “it’s only 300 houses” but ignore the quality
of many of those houses, now gone, along with the 150+ additional
demolitions, called ”remodels” by Portland’s code. The other issue
ignored by many builders is where is the “tipping point”—how
many demolitions and replacement houses that don’t fit will it take
before the neighborhood character (that makes our neighborhoods
so desirable in the first place) is itself, gone? What’s especially
despicable is that we are losing houses that were recently occupied
and fully functional buildings, for the most part—not boarded-up,
dilapidated shacks, but homes.
Portland’s zoning is also contributing to the Epidemic of
Demolitions. As fellow-Coalition member Jim Heuer said at
City Council: “Of Portland’s 145,000 single family homes, nearly
28,000 (20%) sit on land zoned for more units. Of these, more than
half are over 75 years old. Are we really ready to lose one-fifth of
Portland’s vintage houses?” City statistics already show that the
largest numbers of demolished homes are on land zoned R-5.
The stats also show that the average age of the demolished
houses to date is 1927… average size is 1,120 square feet, and
the average replacement house is 2,075 square feet. Clearly,
vintage houses are bearing the brunt of the Epidemic, many
of them historic, but unprotected.
We are still committed to the other “cures” for the Demolitions
Epidemic, those we initially laid out in June, and those proposed
by many of you. Many thanks to all of you who have called or
emailed me to share your concerns and creative ideas…

Auction Equals Action
By Fred Leeson
Here’s the quirky aspect of the Bosco-Milligan
Foundation’s annual fund-raising auction: hard
work is no guarantee of ultimate success. However, there can be no
success without the hard work in advance.
Our auctions in 2012 and 2013 were the most successful in BMF
history. An expanded auction committee has been working
hard since May to keep that admirable trend alive in 2014. The
continued success of our beloved Architectural Heritage Center
depends heavily on the auction’s revenue.
No matter what the final result on Oct. 18, I want to salute the
2014 auction committee. Two board members, Eileen Fitzsimons
and Nanette Thrush, have been energetic, creative cochairs. Meg
Talbott, who has been involved in every auction since its inception
in the late 1980s, once again is managing the always-interesting
silent auction. Carole Bess White took charge of the Patron Party
that occurs immediately before the auction.
Committee members Becca Mohr, Joan Plank, Kate Crawford,
Paulla Dacklin, Nancy Carr, Sue Gerritz and Barbara Coleman
stepped up to take on myriad tasks including soliciting oral auction
items, planning decorations, designing and publishing the auction
booklet, constructing the auction website, acquiring items for the
dessert auction acquisition, entering data, managing the wall-ofwine, and preparing slide-show presentations.
Carol Morgan, a long-time auction helper and former long-time
board member, graciously hosted a wine and hors d’ oeuvres party
at her house where BMF friends voted on treats for the Patron
Party and contributed to building the wall of wine. This is a perfect
opportunity for me to thank Carol for her service on the board,
and to say thanks in advance for her continuing commitment to
support the auction and the Foundation.
Thanks, too, to Holly Chamberlain, our deputy director who
provides endless staff support and good cheer.
So those are the players behind the scenes of the 2014 auction.
What will it take to make the event another big success? YOU!
Please come, enjoy the food, drink and festivities—and bid
generously within your means.

Heritage Auction (Continued)
Our collective bid for general support will include a request for
funds to make some needed repairs to our own gem of a historic
building, which is showing signs of wear after nearly 10 years of
public activity. Like a responsible homeowner, we can’t afford to
let our property suffer from benign neglect.
Many auction items can be previewed on our website (www.
VisitAHC.org). New items will be added as they are received,
so keep an eye on the auction page. If you cannot be present
the night of the auction you can submit a bid by October 7th by
email to [email protected] or authorize a friend who will be
attending to bid for you. Contact us for details 503.231.7264.
Raffle tickets for a package of outstanding wines and for a
special behind-the-scenes winery tour at Domaine Serene are
available now. You can purchase them through the newsletter
form or our website, or at the front desk at the AHC. Sales
will continue the night of the auction ($5.00 each, or five for
$20.00). “Golden tickets” at $50.00 each give the lucky winner
a choice of any of the oral auction items! You don’t have to be
present to win, but we hope you will be!
Bob Strong, aka “Handyman Bob” (KXL Radio “Around
the House” on Saturday mornings) will join us again as
Master of Ceremonies, and Chris Sheik will serve as our
Auctioneer-Extraordinaire.
Tickets to the auction are on sale now ($100 for Patrons, which
includes appetizers and beverages at the AHC beginning at 5:30
pm and an early entrance for bidding; $75 for the dinner and
auction at the Melody Ballroom) and may be purchased on line
or by mail. Avoid a waiting list, and purchase your tickets now!
Share an evening with friends of preservation. Find unique
treasures and a great bottle at the “Wall of Wine.” Your support
of our historic preservation education and advocacy activities is
very important and very much appreciated. We’ll see you there!

Members: $8
General Public: $12
Older, Smaller, Better:
How Character-Rich Buildings and
Blocks Support Great Neighborhoods
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.
Special Location: St. James Lutheran Church
1315 SW Park Ave.
Tuesday, October 7, 2014
7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
All Tickets: $8
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.
New research from the National Trust for Historic
Preservation’s Preservation Green Lab shows that
neighborhoods with a mix of small, old and new buildings
outperform districts of large, new buildings on a wide variety
of social, economic, and cultural metrics.

In 1961, Jane Jacobs issued the now-famous argument that the
most thriving urban streets and neighborhoods are comprised
of a mix of old and new buildings, used in a variety of ways
by diverse people and groups. Today, more than fifty years
later, many of Jacobs’ ideas are widely accepted among urban
professionals, but city policies and plans often continue to
favor large-scale redevelopment projects over more fine-grained
approaches that utilize existing community assets and preserve
communities’ built fabric. Dr. Michael Powe, Senior Research
Manager from the Seattle-based Preservation Green Lab, will
connect new ideas drawn from Big Data to the writings of
Jane Jacobs and discuss how blocks of modestly-sized older
buildings are quietly contributing to robust local economies and
distinctive, livable communities.

Do you find yourself describing the elements of buildings in
terms of thing-a-ma-jigs and what-cha-ma-call-its? Join us as Eric
Wheeler, member of our AHC Education Committee, helps
demystify the language of architecture as it relates to some of the
common architectural styles found in the Portland area.
This updated program is a great follow-up to the House
History research program and is ideal for anyone interested in
architecture. After this session you’ll be able to impress your
friends, family, coworkers, and contractors with your new-found
knowledge of architectural terms such as gambrel, oculus, lintel,
corbel, and quoin. From pilaster to pediment, there’s sure to be
a little something for the architectural nerd in all of us!
Program participants are encouraged to bring photographs of
their homes or any building details that you can’t seem to identify.
There will be a short break midway through the presentation.

Community Builders: Fraternal Lodges in
America and Portland
Saturday, November 1, 2014
10:00 am – 11:30 am
Tuesday, November 11, 2014
7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Members: $12
General Public: $20
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, fraternal lodges played
an important societal role across America as community builders
and as a virtual financial “safety net.” While since that time,
private and public organizations have largely taken over these
roles, many of the lodge buildings and temples, including those in
Portland, are still standing, all too often hidden in plain sight and
suffering from a mostly forgotten past.
Thanks to a grant from the Oregon Heritage Commission,
architectural historian and AHC Education Committee
member Eric Wheeler will take a broad look at the fraternal
lodge movement in America and the architecture it inspired,
both nationwide and right here in Portland. Included in the
story are wellknown examples
of Portland’s
fraternal lodge
buildings, such
as the downtown
Elks Temple
(now part of the
Sentinel Hotel)
or the Hibernian
Hall (Wonder
Ballroom) in the
Eliot neighborhood.
You’ll also learn about some of the not-so-well-known
buildings in the region like the Red Men Hall on Hawthorne
or the Lents Odd Fellows Lodge. You’ll learn about the
context in which these fine, yet sometimes quite modest,
buildings were constructed, and discover how many have
been re-purposed, rehabilitated, and put to new uses, while
others have been lost or have an uncertain future.
This presentation is the first of a two-part series;
the second installment will premier in early 2015.

Portland’s Architectural One Hit Wonders
Saturday, November 15, 2014 10:00 am – 11:30 am
Members: $12
General Public: $20
Singular works of individual architects and firms from around the
country light up our skyline, parade down our avenues and help
define our architectural heritage. From Pioneer Courthouse to
the new Apple Store, out-of-town architects have come and gone,
never to return. Yet, what do we know of the professional lives
and works of Cass
Gilbert, Charles
Luckman, or
Alfred Mullett, to
name just a few?
Join us as we
go behind the
facades and meet
up with, among
others, the 1930s
“Boy Wonder”
of industry who later, as an architect, became the target of
preservationists; the 19th century church designer who created
(unbeknownst to him!) a future Hard Rock Cafe; and the
“preposterous little humbug” with a penchant for Second
Empire French designs. Expect some surprises and maybe a
scandal or two along the way!
Ellen Shapley, in a former life, was a corporate research

of Oregon Libraries
Perhaps no other entrepreneur had
such an impact on 20th century
Portland as Fred G. Meyer. In the 1920s,
Meyer began building his “One-Stop
Shopping” stores around the Portland
area. This program takes a close look
at the life and work of Meyer as well
as the work of the architectural firm
of Claussen & Claussen, with whom
Meyer frequently worked.
Please join us as Bosco-Milligan
Foundation President Fred Leeson
presents the story of Fred Meyer, putting his life and work
in context with the stores he built. Portland architects Fred
and William Claussen play an important role in the story, as
they designed some of Meyer’s first stores, along with several
other notable Portland buildings including the Roosevelt
Hotel and Laurelhurst School.
In addition to his volunteer work with the Bosco-Milligan
Foundation/Architectural Heritage Center, Leeson is also the
author of the recent biography of Fred G. Meyer, My-Te-Fine
Merchant: Fred Meyer’s Retail Revolution. He will have copies
of his book on hand to purchase.

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?”

Photographic Perspectives with
David Greene
Owen has been routinely drawing for
more than 3 years and finds inspiration
from the old houses in his NE Portland
neighborhood. He enjoys attending
house tours, and collecting period house
books that focus on buildings from the
early 1900s.
As evidenced in his work, Owen is
captivated by all of the details found in
historic architecture—dormers, sash
windows, brick patterns, and intricate wood
details all find their way into his work.
Having no formal training, Owen has
carved his own path, creating his own
rules about image making. He decides
everything from where and what to draw,
what tools to use and how to array them,
and deciding what details go into good
picture making. He prefers simple and
direct materials, using ordinary letterhead
paper and a mechanical pencil.
This program will be offered in January.
Check the winter newsletter for more
details. David will show you how to
develop your artistic eye.

When not creating

skateboarding,
watching movies

popcorn), and
spending time
with his cousins,
Brenden, Brianna

Gallery Exhibits
Architecture in Bloom:
Botanical Motifs from
the Victorian Period
through the
Arts and Crafts Era
Opening Fall 2014
Meyer Memorial Trust Gallery
From ancient times to the present day, every architectural style
has employed at least some adaptation of botanical imagery
in its designs. To
symbolize new
life, the ancient
Greeks placed
stylized versions
of leaves from the
acanthus plant
on their buildings.
Egyptians and
then the Assyrians
viewed the lotus as
symbolic of new life,
and frequently used it in their architecture and art. By the latter
half of the 1800s, American architects were drawing upon design
publications and mass-produced building parts, much of which
was replete with botanical ornamentation.
The use of decorative woodwork, with abundant carved and cutout design elements, reached its zenith during the Victorian Era
and often looked to nature for inspiration. No house fixture was
left untouched and often no expense was spared, during this
time in which rich decoration reigned supreme.
As the Arts and Crafts movement became popular in the early
20th century, botanical motifs became more subtle, appearing in
decorative painting, stained and leaded glass, densely patterned
wallpapers, hardware fittings, or even the borders of parquet
floors and fireplace surrounds.
Using artifacts from all facets of the Bosco-Milligan Foundation
collection, such as beautifully carved woodwork, finely-detailed
tile and terra-cotta, decorated light shades and fixtures, flowered
sinks, and ornate stained glass windows, this exhibit will illustrate
just how popular “flora-tecture” once was in the Portland area.
