The Jacob Kamm residence located at SW 14th Avenue and SW Main Street, 1946. The description on the back of the image states, “’Adventure House’ is the new name that has been given to the pioneer Jacob Kamm residence on SW 14th avenue and Main street, and it seems an excellent name for its new role as a community recreation center. The house and its gardens have been lent to the park bureau temporarily for a play center by the school board, which has acquired the big tract of land as site for a new Lincoln High School. It is not expected the building project will get under way for several years.”

Vintage Portland Community

In June 2014, the Portland City Archives took over the Vintage Portland blog, excited to engage with the Vintage Portland community and explore the City’s extensive photo collection. Over six years later, the VP community has grown and discussions about the history of Portland have flourished. It is my hope that this site will continue to be a place for people to explore Portland through historical images. I want to remind everyone of the Code of Conduct, which includes the Social Media Terms of Use. Please keep the terms of use in mind when you comment on posts. I look forward to seeing your discussions relating to the images posted.
