1918 Mills Open Air School building is being deconstructed

The historical 1918 Mills Open Air School building at SE 60th and Stark is being deconstructed by the Portland Housing Bureau (PHB). At some point, PHB will redevelop the site for affordable housing. This site also is where two earlier other Mt. Tabor Schools were located in the 1800s. Click here to read more about the history of the Mills Open Air School. Doug Decker prepared this history and shared it with community members during a number of community tours of the building last December.

Rare Original 1892 "Mt. Tabor Views" Color Real Estate Brochure Found

The MTNA Neighborhood History Project group tracked down a rare, original color copy of the 1892 "Mt. Tabor Views" real estate brochure. Norm Gholston, with the Architectural Heritage Foundation, has an original copy in his personal collection. Norm scanned all 24 pages for us. The brochure includes amazing, detailed drawings of different views of our neighborhood in 1892 and descriptions of what the neighborhood was like back then. You can view the brochure here. Please contact the MTNA (contact.mtna@gmail.com) if you have any questions or would like more information.  

 

Monthly Meetings

General meetings are on the third Wednesday of the month, from 7:00 PM–8:30 PM. (No meeting in December.) Staring in June 2024 we will test new tech to allow us to meet both in-person at Taborspace AND on Zoom (find links under the "meetings" tab of this website). 

 

Meetings are ADA-accessible and open to the public.
