Become a Restore Oregon Modernism Volunteer! On July 13th, our volunteer team will support the event as docents and helpers during two shifts between 11:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. We'll be in SW Portland, spread over multiple elevations, so we will all need to maneuver stairs and a terraced landscape. Much of the event will be outside, so anticipate warm weather. If you are interested in supporting Restore Oregon with your time and energy and receiving a free ticket to the event, sign up to volunteer here: https://lnkd.in/g-pCnyUf . . . . #restoreoregon #restoreoregonmodernism #volunteerportland #architecture #architecturestudent #aiaportland

A Prideful Shoutout to Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability for its meaningful work to proactively designate two more LGBTQ+ landmark properties in the National Register of Historic Places - NPS. Precedent-setting work for historic preservation in Oregon! https://lnkd.in/gC3kK7g2
We are proud to announce another reason to celebrate this Pride Month! BPS's LGBTQ+ Historic Sites Project nominated two historic buildings for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, the country's official list of significant historic places. Our nominations were successful making the Erv Lind Field in NE Portland and the Crystal Hotel in the west end of downtown the second and third LGBTQ+ landmarks designated in Oregon, joining Darcelle XV.

Restore Oregon attended the grand opening of the historic Anna Mann housing project in Portland last Friday! This affordable housing project preserved and renovated a Tudor-Revival National Register Landmark building and added new construction of two buildings, creating 128 total units on 3.1 acres of green space in the Laurelhurst/Kerns Neighborhoods. Cheers to Innovative Housing Inc and their awesome team for crossing this over the finish line! The Federal Historic Tax Credit was used -- such an important tool to help solve the need for housing everywhere in Oregon!
