Lost Portland, Oregon
December 13, 2018 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeAs Portland has grown and changed, so has its architectural landscape. Once prominent landmarks have disappeared – the Marquam Building collapsed during 1912 renovations, the massive chamber of commerce building became a parking lot, and the Corbett Building became a shopping mall. The city skyline was shaped by architects like Justus F. Krumbein and David L. Williams, only to drastically change in the face of urban renewal and the desire for modernization. In Lost, Portland Oregon (History Press), historian Val C. Ballestrem explores the city’s architectural heritage from the 1890s to the present.
