This rare example of an Italianate Townhouse would have met the wrecking ball had not a devoted team of preservationists moved heaven and earth (literally) to save it. It took an act of City Council, numerous agencies, and a team of talented craftspeople to move and restore this gem top-to-bottom on its proud new site. Photo credit: KLIK Concepts

The post DeMuro Award Preservation Spotlight: Fried-Durkheimer House (1st Morris Marks House) (1880), Portland appeared first on Restore Oregon.

The façade of Portland’s oldest standing commercial building has been restored precisely to its original design. The architectural team researched and documented the original façade, including fire shutters. The craftsmanship by the contractor, the masons, and millworkers was exceptional. The parts of the original façade that were cast iron were carved in wood molds and recast in iron. Hidden inside the façade is a massive reinforced concrete moment frame that meets stringent current seismic codes. The reinforced façade was tied to the neighboring building as structural support.

After suffering a prolonged decline, the most prominent building along Redmond’s Main Street has come back to life as a boutique hotel, co-working, dining, and community meeting space. The project included careful rehab of the Georgian facade, addition of a rooftop lounge, and restoration of its dramatic lobby.

Obsolete agricultural buildings are among the most difficult to repurpose, causing much of Oregon’s farming heritage to be lost. A Willamette Valley icon was saved by turning a consternating set of design constraints into a unique and inviting wine and hospitality destination. Photo credit: Aaron Johanson.

Spanning two city blocks in Portland’s Central Eastside Industrial District, the former Custom Stamping factory complex was repurposed as creative, tech, and light industrial space with community-building in mind. Gravity-defying bowstring trusses and assorted heavy machinery were retained as part of this homage to Oregon’s industrial heritage. Photo credit: Peter Eckert.
