News & Notes Architectural Heritage Center Resources & Inspiration For Historic Preservation A publication of the Bosco-Milligan Foundation Vol. 22 | No. 4 | Fall 2014 Heritage Auction 2014 “Riches of a City” Heritage Auction: Neighbors in Preservation Saturday, October 18, 2014 | 6:00 pm–10:00 pm Presenting sponsors: Venerable Properties/PacTrust Friend sponsor: Emerick Architects Dinner and Auction: Melody Ballroom 615 SE Alder Street Patrons $100 / Members and Friends $75 Patron Party begins at 5:30 pm at the AHC Tables of 10: $1,000 and $750 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. From the 2013 Auction (from top): Hungry Heart cupcakes delivered by volunteer Marsha Hanchrow; guests Gwen Jones, Kim Fox, and Roy Fox; Liza Mickle and James Hamrick enjoying the event; attendees express their inner superhero 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. continued on pg 3 Architectural Heritage Center | www.VisitAHC.org 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… Pg. 2 PRESIDENT’s column 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.

Architectural Heritage Center | www.VisitAHC.org Pg. 3 Education Program Education Program—Lecture How to Research the History of Your House Saturday, October 4, 2014 10:00 am – 11:30 am 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. Pre-registration is strongly suggested—visit us online at www.VisitAHC.org or use the enclosed registration form. Sponsored by: WILLCO www.fullcircainc.com 503 309 9726 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.

CCB#75725 Pg. 4 Architectural Heritage Center | www.VisitAHC.org Education Program—Lecture Vocabulary of Architecture and Architectural Styles Saturday, October 25, 2014 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Members: $8 General Public: $12 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. Pre-registration is strongly suggested—visit us online at www.VisitAHC.org or use the enclosed registration form. Education Program—Lecture 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. Pre-registration is strongly suggested—visit us online at www.VisitAHC.org or use the enclosed registration form. This program is supported by a grant from the Oregon Heritage Commission Architectural Heritage Center | www.VisitAHC.org Pg. 5 Education Program—Panel Radon Gas: Hazards and Solutions for Homeowners Saturday, November 8, 2014 10:00 am–11:30 am Members: $8 General Public: $12 A naturally occurring substance, radon gas is hazardous and frequently found in homes of any age throughout the Portland area. Since many residential real estate transactions these days involve radon testing, we’re bringing in two experts on radon to discuss why this gas is such a problem and what can be done about it. Craftsmanship Never Goes Out Of Style Vintage and Contemporary Home Design and Remodeling Now on the 2nd floor of Rejuvenation 503.239.6200 craftsmandesign.com CCB #131520 Dr. Scott Burns is a recently retired professor of Geology at Portland State University. He has particular expertise in hazard mapping (including radon and earthquakes), as well as landslides and the Missoula floods that shaped the Portlandarea landscape. Scott will talk about radon, its health effects, and the relationship between radon and Portland area homes. Steve Tucker is the founder of Cascade Radon which has been an EPA certified radon testing and mitigation company since 1991. With more than 35 years experience as a building contractor, Steve will discuss the radon testing process as well as strategies to address radon in the home and system design. If you’ve been wondering what all the hubbub is about regarding radon, this is a great opportunity to learn more. Pre-registration is strongly suggested—visit us online at www.VisitAHC.org or use the enclosed registration form. “Once again, the experience of volunteering during the home tour gave me such pleasure—and benefitted me far more than the AHC got from my volunteer time!” —Kathy Hansen Pg. 6 Architectural Heritage Center | www.VisitAHC.org Education Program—Lecture 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 director and, in her spare time, a docent for the Chicago Architecture Foundation. Today, she is a member of the AHC’s Education Committee and its dedicated docent team.

Meyer, the Claussen Brothers, and the Architecture of “One-Stop Shopping” Saturday, November 22, 2014 10:00 am–11:30 am Members: $12 General Public: $20 Photos courtesy of University 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.

Pg. 8 Portland 101: Crooked Grids, Tiny Blocks, and the Building of the City Saturday, December 6, 2014 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. Sponsored by: Barbara Simon Landscape Design Architectural Heritage Center | www.VisitAHC.org Art Exhibits Perspectives Special Artist Programs Owen Grossman A group exhibit featuring AHC members and artists: Jeanne Schapp (mixed media, painting, and collage), Julie Salamon Greene (encaustic wax and photography), David Greene (photography). Poetry by David Pickering Poetry reading: Fri. December 5th at 6:30 pm Opening Reception: Sat. October 4th 3–5pm; free and open to the public David Pickering’s poetry is powerful and insightful. He inspired the Perspectives creative team and his poems are the cornerstone of the exhibit. Please join us at December’s First Friday (12/5) when David will read his Perspective poems and some of his other works. The Poetry reading will start at 6:30 p.m. Owen Grossman is a self-taught artist. He is 14 years old and, this fall, will be attending the Roseway Heights School as an 8th grader. Opening Reception November 7th Holiday Reception December 5th Receptions 6–8pm; free and open to the public On exhibit through January Everyone has their own unique style and viewpoint. But, do you only have one way of looking at things? Are you willing to consider someone’s perspective that may be different than yours? Art Trading Cards Workshop December 13th 1: 00–3:00 pm In Perspectives, 3 artists and 1 poet visited sites around the Portland Metro area and documented their impressions through an artistic medium. This exhibit, a collaborative effort over the past year, also explores the different definitions of perspective. The exhibit challenges us to open our eyes, minds and hearts to look at things from a different perspective and see another’s point of view. Explore your artistic side creating small works of art: 2½" x 3½" Art Trading Cards are given as gifts or traded with other artists. They are ideal for stocking stuffers! Limit: 20 people Materials fee: $10 per person This class is open to all ages and artistic experience levels. 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. Architectural Heritage Center | www.VisitAHC.org When not creating art, Owen enjoys skateboarding, watching movies (with lots of popcorn), and spending time with his cousins, Brenden, Brianna and Julia. Pg. 9 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.
