Who Are We?

We are your neighbors in Laurelhurst.  We love our neighborhood, with its quiet streets, mature tree canopy, century-old houses in traditional Portland styles, small and large.  

​

In 2016-2019, dozens of us, joined by the Laurelhurst Neighborhood Association, worked to list Laurelhurst as a National Register Historic District.  That listing was the culmination of work that started back in 1990 and was kept alive by generations of neighbors.  

​

Our mission is to appreciate and preserve Laurelhurst's historic architecture, streets, urban forest, and park; to advocate for preservation and against destruction; to work for "density without demolition"; and to keep Laurelhurst residents and other Portlanders abreast of relevant developments.

​

We are not part of the LNA.  Our blog and emails aren't from the LNA.  We often work with the LNA.
