As Portland has grown and changed, so has its architectural landscape. Once prominent landmarks have disappeared--the Marquam Building collapsed during 1912 renovations, the massive chamber of commerce building became a parking lot and the Corbett Building became a shopping mall. The city skyline was shaped by architects like Justus F. Krumbein and David L. Williams, only to drastically change in the face of urban renewal and the desire for modernization. Discover the stories behind some of Portland's most iconic buildings, including the Beth Israel Synagogue and the first East Side High School, both lost to fire. Join historian Val C. Ballestrem as he explores the city's architectural heritage from the 1890s to the present, as well as the creative forces behind it.

• I’m a long time Portlander, thirty-seven years, give or take a week. However, not having lived there in twelve years I still miss it. Seeing photos and hearing stories of my beloved city is wistfully comforting. Mr. Ballestrom has done an excellent job covering a breadth of history with a broad selection of research and love. If you’re after an armchair read of the city’s architecture and context of its times, this is a concise resource to actually enjoy. Well done!
