This building, in NE Portland, is slated to be demolished soon. I looked in a window and could see that the interior, due to a leaky roof, has lots of black mold. The building is located in a residential area, but may at one time been a commercial venture. My guess would be that some developer will build a couple of houses on the lot. Keep you posted.

From the Sabin Plateau looking down on the Irvington area of NE Portland. Twisting tree at the bottom was an eye-catcher for me.
Mike’s House: Project Completed
For the past two years I have been following the renovation of this house in the Sabin Area of NE Portland, Or. It belongs to a guy named Mike. Mike and I have talked a few times during the course of the renovation, but I have no idea what his last name is. I believe this house belonged to an old guy that I saw once a few years ago, a relative of Mike’s wife. The house was inherited and nearly a tear-down; it was just a horrible mess inside and out. I don’t know how the old guy survived the winters in this house. The house is even more spectacular on the inside. I have peeked in a few windows, but have not seen Mike since he completed the interior. He did everything within his power to keep the integrity of the original design, even down to the shade of yellow he chose for the exterior. If/when I get a chance to walk through the interior I’m sure Mike will allow me to take some photos.
