A forgotten Belluschi home awaits reconstructionTuesday, December 14th, 2010Great article posted on Daily Journal of Commerce of Oregon:
POSTED: Thursday, December 9, 2010 at 03:42 PM PT BY: Nathalie Weinstein In a 48-foot-by-10-foot storage unit several miles south of Portland, pieces of the city’s architectural history are waiting to be reassembled. They belong to a house built in 1949 on a woodsy lot in Lake Oswego. The structure may be modest – it’s only 921 square feet – but its architect, the late Pietro Belluschi, is legendary in Portland. Now, more than 60 years later, local builder Tim Mather of MCM Construction plans to reconstruct the house on Marylhurst University’s campus and unveil a Belluschi design that, until recently, few people knew existed. Oregon Historical Society, which documents the state’s past, might not have a futureMonday, October 25th, 2010Please consider voting for the OHS Levy. This affects both the research library and archives as well as the museum. The museum has proven to be an early adopter in the recognition of the value of Mid-Century design and architecture and by passing this levy they can continue to do this important work.

Portland’s Modern Home Tour “Street of Eames” – April 16Friday, April 16th, 2010
Street of Eames is Portland’s annual modern home tour. Each April, this citywide event recognizes the city’s best examples of mid-century modern and contemporary modern residential architecture. The goal of the tour, however, is to raise money for after-school programs for homeless students at two Portland public schools – Chapman Elementary in NW Portland, and Beach Elementary in N Portland. Street of Eames is essentially a home tour to help the homeless. This year’s tour includes architectural marvels from: Oringdulph, Path, Rummer, Seed, Storrs, Waechter, White and Yeon.
