Near the end of the 19th Century, the richest man the world had ever known-Andrew Carnegie-decided to give away most of his wealth while he was still alive. Building free public libraries became one of his first preferred charities. Between 1911 and 1922, seven Carnegie-funded libraries were built in Portland and Gresham, designed by four outstanding architects of the era. More information and registration here.

Volunteers will be on hand to answer your questions and share AHC library resources for building history research, local history, Oregon architects, and of course, the preservation of our historic buildings.

Kitchen Revival Tour!
April will be here before we know it and so will our 15th annual kitchen tour!
The committee is hard at work reviewing kitchens and finalizing the details of the event, but there is still time to nominate a kitchen for consideration. We are especially interested in knowing about in-tact period kitchens. If you would like to nominate a kitchen, click here. If you know of a great kitchen that should be considered but do not have time to do the nomination yourself, email Val and let him know about it.
