| dc.description.abstract | Emil Schacht, a significant architect in Portland, Oregon from 1885-1926, has been overlooked in the architectural history of Portland . Although Schacht had a prolific career, in which he designed many buildings of varying types and styles, the bulk of his work and in formation a bout his life have been unknown. The existence of original drawings for many Schacht-designed buildings, housed in the Cachot Therkelsen Collection , has provided the opportunity to conduct a partial inventory of a significant portion of Schacht's work. The results of this inventory are included in the Appendix of this thesis. Additional buildings already identified as Schacht designs, as well as those found during the research process, have been included as well. The Cachot Therkelsen Collection includes a representative selection of Schacht's work and has enabled a preliminary study of his influences to be undertaken. Local building trade journals have provided information about Schacht's career. Selected buildings have been discussed in the text of this thesis, as well as biographical information. This thesis, and the information included in the Appendix, will provide information for individuals writing National Register Nominations for Schacht-designed buildings. The partial inventory included in the Appendix will aid in the identification of Schacht- designed buildings not included in local and/or state cultural resource inventories , and to identify those Schacht-designed buildings already included, but not attributed to him. As a result, a significant portion of Portland's architectural heritage will remain for the benefit of future generations. | |
