Lost Oregon

Documenting past + present + future Oregon architecture + its built environment.

Photo of the Week: Portland waterfront

A remarkable scan from a postcard that illustrates our bridges, waterfront and long-gone architecture: Image courtesy of the exceptional Portland Waterfront History blog.  And, if you’re into our local bridges (and who isn’t really?), coming this summer is the PDX Bridge Festival.

From the back of the postcard: Love to see older buildings (this one was built in 1926) being reused. And speaking of reuse (how’s THAT for a segue?), the business in there now sells gently used nice kitchen equipment at super reasonable prices. Ad for the Ports o’ Call on Swan Island, 1974. The fantastic KGW Broadcast Center on SW Jefferson. The Edris Morrison Studios (1222-1224 SW Broadway) was a portrait photography studio run by photographer and theater actor Edris Morrison Cox (1903-1997). Mummy’s in downtown Portland closed in 2022. There are some great articles about it floating on the web (check out Thebeerchaser’s review). No, I haven’t lost my mind, just got lost in downtown Los Angeles last month (yes, I know my page is called Lost Oregon). Wasn’t sure where to post, so, why not do a photo dump here? I really loved downtown LA’s energy, contrasts, and, of course, its architecture. Top 9 pics of 2025. The Acrop building is for sale!?"
