Northeast Portland’s Alameda Park Addition was first platted in 1909. Construction soon followed and by 1920, hundreds of houses and a busy streetcar line had been built in the new subdivision. Successive waves of homebuilding in the decades that followed have shaped the neighborhood we know today.
Doug Decker will track the initial development of the area, profile key builders and building styles, and share stories of the early years from former residents. Doug has lived in the Alameda neighborhood for 20 years and during that time has done research on many aspects of its history. He also runs a website dedicated to the Alameda neighborhood and old house research: www.AlamedaHistory.org. He and his family live in a 1912 Arts and Crafts bungalow built by William B. Donahue.
Pre-registration is strongly suggested –online or call the AHC at (503) 231-7264.
