Love Letter to Old Town

Join Central City Concern, Old Town Pizza, and Peter Meijer Architect for a special event celebrating Portland’s Old Town and Chinatown neighborhoods! Enjoy a pizza tasting from OTP while learning about the area's rich history, unique architecture, and vibrant community from PMA, all while supporting CCC.

Old Town and Chinatown are Portland's oldest neighborhoods, with deep histories of trade, commerce, and immigration. These aspects influenced its architectural character and future adaptive reuse in the area. PMA will guide attendees through the neighborhoods' history and its layered infrastructure. We'll learn about the past, analyze the present, and look ahead to how preservation and adaptive reuse can keep these historic neighborhoods active, authentic, and resilient.
