Oregon Home Magazine managing editor Vivian McInerny mentioned Mac-Bo in her blog, Home Style, on Wednesday. In the entry, McInerny says, “I find other people's remodeling projects a delight. I love hearing stories about how they did and what they did, and why. I admire their vision and thrill to see the results of their labor.” She then goes on to ask readers to send in their remodeling stories and pictures to be posted online. See the post here.
At Mac-Bo, we love to be part of our clients’ remodeling stories. From design development to construction to the last finishing touches, we ensure each story has a happy beginning, middle, and ending. Keep an eye on Home Style in the coming weeks to see some featured Mac-Bo projects.
The Architectural Heritage Center: One of Portland’s Treasures
2012, January 11th
A link that we put on our web page some time ago is for the Architectural Heritage Center. For those of you who are unfamiliar the work of the AHC, allow me to say that it is one of Portland's treasures. In their own words, the "Architectural Heritage Center is a non-profit resource nexus for historic preservation..." "As ‘home base’ for heritage conservation in the Portland, Oregon metro area, the AHC hosts dozens of programs, tours, and exhibits each year which help people appreciate, restore, and maintain older and historic buildings, neighborhoods, and traditional commercial areas.
In the cooler months of winter, the AHC focuses on educational programs, some of which are coming up soon. Ever wonder about the massive William Temple House on NW Hoyt? Come to the lecture “A House of Stone for Dr. Mackenzie: Rebuilding Portland’s Architectural History.” Are you a lover of stained glass? Attend “The Stained Glass of the Povey Brothers.” Are you a railroad fan or curious about the settlement of the Pacific Northwest? Check out “Railroad Architecture and the Northwest: Economics, Ethos, and Culture.”
When the weather warms up, look forward to walking tours of historic Portland such as the “Ladd's Addition Walking Tour,” “Cast-Iron Portland: Skidmore - Old Town Walking Tour,” and “Terra Cotta Portland: Downtown Walking Tour.” Additionally, special home tours such as the Heritage Home Tour and the Kitchen Revival Tour allow you a glimpse inside many of Portland’s historic homes.
We are fans of old houses and love to work on them. Let Mac-Bo help you preserve yours!
