Ambition and the Transcontinental Era: Railways, Architecture, and Photography in 19th Century Portland
During the late 19th century, railways, architecture, and photography all developed simultaneously in the Pacific Northwest. The railways enabled the emergence of cities, large and small, as well as a new architecture of urbanization throughout the region. In turn, architects worked to give form and character to growing cities, none less than Portland. In turn, photographers worked to capture these dramatic changes to the landscape of the Northwest. In this Architectural Heritage Center talk, Alexander Benjamin Craghead, curator of the AHC's After Promontory exhibit , will examine this intersection of railroads, architecture, and photography, with a special emphasis on Portland’s unique role as the intended terminus of the second transcontinental railroad. Architectural Heritage Center, 701 SE Grand Avenue. 10AM Saturday, November 23. $20 ($12 for AHC members).
