All day Saturday February 14th, drop by the AHC and check out a looping slideshow depicting 150 years of architectural styles, from early cast iron buildings in Old Town to the latest in trendsetting styles found around the city.

The program will include images of buildings from every decade since Oregon statehood and many of the years in between. We’ll also include the work of well-known and lesser-known architects, as well as buildings that have been saved and those that unfortunately have been lost. Come help us celebrate Oregon’s 150th, check out our current exhibits and help us continue promoting the value of preserving our built environment.

Questions? – e-mail Val Ballestrem or call the AHC at (503) 231-7264.
