Abstract
This is a study of a group of 67 buildings that were featured in a publication titled Residential Portland 1911, produced in that year by The Newspaper Syndicate of Portland. The buildings represented in that book are a specific resource type -- Portland's high-style residences at the beginning of the 20th century. This study investigates that group of properties to determine patterns of preservation and change from 1911 to the present. How or whether buildings were maintained, restored or rehabilitated; how some buildings have survived or adapted, and how some have not; and how these issues are linked to larger patterns of urban growth and cultural change are the key questions addressed by this project. To support this analysis, this project examines physical change in the study group of 70 structures through contemporary photographs, alteration records, and maps.
