HPLO Preservation Round Table: Charting a Future for Oregon's Historic Masonry Building
August 16, 2012 |
The 2012 Roundtable will tackle a building type that defines many of Oregon’s most historic areas, from Main Streets to college campuses: historic masonry buildings. Made of brick, stone, and concrete block, Oregon has several thousand masonry buildings that were built between the 1850s and 1930s, a large number of which have been given local or national historic designation. The 2012 Roundtable will take a look at these buildings, their history, best practices for reuse, and the policy recommendations needed to pass them forward for future generations.
The last workshop for this year's Preservation Round Table will be held in Portland at the Portland Development Commission from 9am to 1pm, snacks included.
A key initiative of the HPLO is the Preservation Roundtable. The Roundtable is designed to bring together various perspectives and skill sets to tackle some of the thornier preservation challenges facing Oregon today. Each year the Roundtable addresses a different topic, convening in multiple locations to analyze the issues and craft baseline solutions – policies, guidelines, legislation, etc. A final report for each year's Roundtable—including an examination of the issues, overview of the opportunities, and template for implementation— is released in the fall and thereafter becomes a component of the HPLO's ongoing advocacy efforts.
