Native Portlander Mark Moore, curator of PDXHistory.com, presents Postcards in Portland at the Architectural Heritage Center (701 SE Grand) this Saturday, November 6 2010.
Beginning in the early 20th century, postcards rapidly developed into a hugely popular tourist souvenir item and postcards of the “City of Roses” were no exception. Nothing shows off Portland’s rich architectural heritage like vintage postcards. They can offer glimpses into the past of familiar places and those long since forgotten. Their often colorful imagery also gives insight into the lives of previous generations of Portlanders and visitors to the city.
The presentation runs from 10am until 11:30am. The AHC members cost is $13 and the general public price is $18. Find more details and buy tickets at VisitAHC.org.
