Overview
Last updated Sep-21-09
Designed in the 1940s by noted local architect Pietro Belluschi, the community center originated as the Catlin Gabel School. After the school moved, the Portland Art Association purchased the property for use as an artists' cooperative. Finding the property too costly to maintain, the Art Association decided to sell it, and word spread that the most likely buyer was a developer of condominiums. Since many of the homes in the area are situated on steep lots with no backyards, residents felt that the site would be better used as a park and community center. The problem, of course, was money. The community was given a year to raise $106,500 to purchase the land and the buildings on it. After an exhaustive neighborhood fundraising effort, plus contributions from the City Council and private foundations, the community was still $25,000 short.
