Found a group of pics from 2009- 2015. Here's one from the Ferris wheel (remember Insta's tilt-shift filter?!) at the now-gone Milwaukie Daze carnival that used to be on the waterfront. #oregonhistory #milwaukie #milwaukieoregon
Motor Bank Building, (1955), Pietro Belluschi /Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Portland, Ore. #architecturelovers #preservation #midcentury #midcenturymodern #portlandarchitecture
The Henry Failing House, downtown Portland. Took up a whole block (between 5th & 6th, Salmon & Taylor). I can't tell if this is Second Empire or Italiante style. Either way, an amazing piece of Portland architecture (demolished in 1922).
Downtown Milwaukie in late February. #milwaukie #downtownmilwaukie #oregonhistory #traveloregon
The A.G. Long (aka Alexander Gotwald Long) Building, built in 1904 to house his fire apparatus business. In the Pearl. A lotta brick and a cool ghost sign. #ghostsigns #downtownportland #ghostsign #brickbuilding #portlandhistory #oregonhistory
Captured a couple of summers ago near Sumpter, Ore. #oregonhistory #ghosttown #traveloregon #oregonroadtrip #archi_ologie
