This blog started almost two years ago. Our first post was July 2016. Since then, many hundreds of Laurelhurst residents have canvassed every house in the neighborhood (remember that winter?); given and attended presentations and meetings; delivered, sent, written and read flyers, door hangers, emails and blog posts; met each other, worked together and become friends in a common cause. Our neighborhood voted 83% to 13% in favor of becoming a National Register historic district and we elected a LNA board committed to carrying out this mandate. We selected a consultant, did the necessary historical research, and completed the survey of every single house in Laurelhurst. We fought off HB 20

HISTORIC
LAURELHURST
A blog about Laurelhurst, Portland.
We live in Laurelhurst. We love the quiet streets, the century-old houses, the traditional Portland residential architecture, the mature tree canopy, the sense of place and time. We think this place is worth protecting.
