Portland's Roadside Architecture

Roadside Architecture
Date: 
March 25, 2010 - 5:30pm - 7:00pm

City Club Commons, 901 SW Washington St., Portland OR 97206

Beginning in the 1920s, a new kind of architecture developed along America's roadways. Geared to passing motorists, these fanciful representations of giant Paul Bunyans, over-sized animals and other objects caught the eye and were not easily forgotten. Sometimes there was a relationship bweteen the architecture and the goods sold, but often roadside architecture was simply outrageous for its own sake. Over time, roadside architecture evolved to include thematic examples, like theaters designed with the exotic imagery of distant cultures.
