Interested in learning more about Alameda? I’m doing an education program for the Architectural Heritage Center, which has been rescheduled to Saturday, January 23rd from 10:00-11:30 in the Center’s auditorium on Southeast Grand Ave. It will be a good opportunity to have a closer look at the evolution of Alameda, and specifically at several of the prolific builders and their design styles that have shaped the neighborhood we know today. It’s also a great excuse to drop by and get to know the Architectural Heritage Center a little better. And you might even meet a neighbor or two!
You can find more information about the program, and a link to registration, at the AHC website: http://www.visitahc.org/content/upcoming-programs
60 years have passed since I lived in the Alameda neighborhood and attended Alameda grade school. However when visit Portland I am still often asked, “Where did you attend grade school?” And I proudly reply, “Alameda”,” And I still receive such positive comments. Such as,”Oh my children go there now, and ” Isn’t that a wonderful school?”
Alameda still gains respect for quality and I am proud that I lived there and attended school there years ago..
