07.10: Portland's Slabtown
2013-06-13 22:35:31| Powells Books Events Calendar
In Portland's first decades, the northwest side remained dense forests. Native Americans camped and Chinese immigrants farmed around Guild's Lake. In the 1870s, Slabtown acquired its unusual name when a lumber mill opened on Northrup Street. The mill's discarded log edges were a cheap source of heating and cooking fuel. This slabwood was stacked in front of working-class homes of employees of a pottery, the docks, icehouses, slaughterhouses, and lumber mills. Today, Slabtown is a densely populated residential neighborhood, with many small shops and restaurants and an industrial area on its northern border. Mike Ryerson, Norm Gholston, and Tracy J. Prince, coauthors of Portland's Slabtown (Arcadia), used archives, historical photograph collections, and interviews to uncover the little-known history of this charming neighborhood.
