Looking for a great venue for your next meeting?

The Architectural Heritage Center is the perfect place to host a staff retreat, business meeting, workshop or lecture. In the heart of Portland’s Grand Avenue Historic District, the AHC is located in the completely renovated West’s Block Building (1883), the oldest surviving commercial building in the district.

The combination of vintage character and modern amenities – adjustable lighting, presentation screens, sound system with microphones, elevator, and WiFi  – makes the AHC unique, comfortable, and convenient. The three-story facility features two meeting rooms, exhibit galleries, reception area, and a small catering kitchen.

Exhibition gallery access is included with most rentals, providing a special experience for your guests. We are happy to work with you to meet your specific event needs.
