In the beginning

Here it is. The space across the street. These pictures will take you on a journey of what the building looked like when we started.



This first picture was taken from our parking lot, looking west across 39th. We're renovating the second story (above the model train and framing shops). Just picture the sweet view from those upstairs windows.



Step over the caution tape as we head up the north stairs and look south across the deck...

Here's looking from the deck back east at Mosaic's building. In phase two we hope to build a sky bridge for easy access across 39th.

Clearly decorated in the 1970s, the north side office space has been unoccupied for several years, unless you consider the random assortment of furniture to be occupants.

This is where the staff will be preparing your lunch if you stop by for a meeting.

Walking down the hallway toward the south half of the building... This half of the space was home to a 40-seat theater for a youth theater troop. There's debate about whether or not to keep the color schemes (see below).

We've got a lot of work to do. Several Mosaic people have already generously donated their time and energy to move the project forward. If you're interested in helping out, email Doug (dholcomb@mosaicportland.org) to find out more. Check back soon for pictures of the progress.
