Mid-Century Geek Alert. For the second year in a row, I am a proud sponsor of Restore Oregon’s Mid-Century House of Tomorrow Tour. The tour will feature visionary and well preserved homes throughout the Portland area that were considered futuristic in their day. Themes include gadgetry, pre-fabrication, and entertaining spaces.

The self-guided tour runs on Saturday, May 14th from 10:00-4:00, and starts in SE Portland. A separate companion talk will take place on the eve of the tour, May 13th, at the Pietro Belluschi designed Central Lutheran Church.

To learn more about the tour, please visit www.restoreoregon.org.

I hope to see you there!

The organization was founded in 1977 as the Historic Preservation League of Oregon and is devoted to the care of the places that make Oregon so special: historic homes and neighborhoods, bridges, barns, churches and Main Streets.
