Attend “The Rose and the Chrysanthemum: Japanese Influence on NW Architecture,” a talk by Robert Jordan, an education committee member at the Architectural Heritage Center. Beginning in the late 19th century, a craze for all things Japanese swept the United States. By 1910, Japanese influence on Portland architecture had begun to take hold. The arts and crafts movement was highly indebted to the Japanese aesthetic, and it can be seen today in the thousands of bungalows throughout the Portland area. Japanese influence was perhaps even stronger during the mid-20th century and it continues to this day in Portland architecture. For info, call (503) 231-7264 or visit .
