Portland's population and wealth exploded in the years immediately after the Lewis and Clark Exposition of 1905, and style-conscious citizens turned to local architects to bring "modern" ideas to life in the new streetcar neighborhoods sprawling out from downtown. Some, like Emil Schacht and Joseph Jacobberger, quickly turned from their established Portland Victorian roots to Craftsman and Arts and Crafts styles. But they were quickly joined by newcomers familiar with eastern architectural trends, like Ellis Lawrence from Boston, Alfred Faber from Philadelphia, and John Bennes from Chicago.

Architectural historian Jim Heuer will share results of extensive research he and his partner Robert Mercer have developed on these and other talented designers of the period and the influences that shaped their residential architecture in the boom years from 1904 to 1914.
