On November 12th, crews completed the installation of a roughly 5-by-10-foot art display within the Montavilla Street Plaza at SE 79th Avenue and Stark Street. The artistic representation of a historic streetcar is part of a grant-funded program titled “Meet Me in Montavilla,” with a focus on celebrating the town-turned-Portland-neighborhood’s diverse history while attracting present-day Portlanders to its vibrant community. A December 3rd ribbon-cutting ceremony will officially introduce the outdoor art exhibit to the public, but it is now open to visitors at the center of Montavilla’s historic main street.
The Montavilla East Tabor Business Association (METBA) developed the interactive art and history project with a $50,000 Major Impact Grant from Venture Portland. METBA President Neil Mattson explained that the Meet Me in Montavilla District Activation Project idea originated from board member Becca Clover’s work at a board retreat, seeding the idea for a successful grant application in 2024. The awarded funds originate from American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocations directed by Prosper Portland and the Portland City Council. Mattson said that the Meet Me in Montavilla project will complete its first phase with the launch of the Plaza art installation and subsequent launch of the meetmeinmontavilla.com website.
The art installation features a historically inspired streetcar profile produced by High Order fabricators, incorporating optical elements to create a three-dimensional perspective from its relatively flat representation. Yaqui-Mexican-American artist Marilyn Shawe led the project’s art direction and designed the trolley with cutout windows, allowing inclined visitors to pose for pictures “inside” the streetcar. Local historian and Montavilla News contributor, Patricia Sanders, assisted with the streetcar’s color accuracy and researched information for the piece. Its scale and interactive elements encourage youthful play around the artwork, while the backside of the piece offers information on the trolley line’s influence in shaping Montavilla. “The trolley was one of five primary themes of significance to our community,” said Mattson. The transit availability in this remote area allowed the town to grow from a community outside the Portland City limits into a prosperous neighborhood that officials quickly annexed in the early 1900s. “The trolley became symbolic of the community,” said Mattson. Although the project will have other phases of work across the neighborhood, he explained that the Meet Me in Montavilla project team decided to focus early work at the SE 79th Avenue Plaza because it has become the current center point of the community in Montavilla and is just one block from where the original streetcar spur line terminated on 80th Avenue.
Local lumber company Mr. Plywood donated the weather-resistant building materials for the trolley installation, and the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) contributed to the project, which resides within one of the bureau’s 20 Public Street Plazas. Mattson explained that PBOT’s partnership was helpful because the installation resides within a public street’s parking lane that is currently part of the car-free plaza space, but still needs to adhere to City policy. “It is physically bolted to the street, which requires a certain amount of engineering, approval, permitting, and insurance,” said Mattson. He also noted that METBA can remove the trolley and store it if needed. It was essential for the team to preserve these community investments, allowing for relocation if the plaza were to reopen to vehicle traffic.
Similar to the trolley installation, team members will design the other Meet Me in Montavilla project elements with a sense of permanence and strong historical ties. Future installations in Phase Two will highlight other themes that significantly shaped the area. They include contributions by Japanese American berry farmers, Montavilla’s Black community, and Dehen Knitting Mills. Public installations around those formative community elements, along with others, will roll out in 2026.
For 14 months, the Meet Me in Montavilla project team of Rebecca Clover, Brenda Dunn, Leah Kohlenberg, Neil Mattson, Patricia Sanders, and artist Marilyn Shawe, collaborated with contractors to bring the neighborhood’s newest public art to the streets, allowing everyone to enjoy and learn from it. Look for specifics on the December 3rd ribbon-cutting event on the METBA website. People are free to stop by anytime to take their own pictures with the Montavilla Trolley, now on display in the Street Plaza at SE 79th Avenue and Stark Street.
Update November 20, 2025: The art installation’s ribbon cutting ceremony in the plaza will take place on on Wednesday, December 3rd at 3:30 p.m. Attendees can meet the artists and team members responsible for the artistic streetcar representing Montavilla’s first trolley line dating back to 1891.

After a 12-year run downtown, the annual Archaeology Roadshow will move its 2025 educational and interactive showcase across the river to East Portland on May 31st, taking over the grassy field in Gateway Discovery Park at 10520 NE Halsey Street. Historians, members from universities, Tribes, government agencies, museums, and nonprofit cultural organizations will operate booths at this free event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., sharing presentations and answering questions from inquisitive attendees. People can drop in anytime during the four-hour un-ticketed event. However, some presentations occur at specific times, including an open welcome song and prayer performed by Sam Robinson of the Chinook Indian Nation.
This year’s Portland show features exhibits and hands-on activities demonstrating how arts and crafts reflect the human experience through the items people make and the traditions passed down through generations.

Virginia Butler, with the Archaeology Roadshow, explained that the name is an homage to the PBS series Antiques Roadshow, which has people bring items for expert evaluation. Students working on the inaugural Portland event wanted people to make the connection to the TV show because the Archaeology Roadshow similarly allows attendees to bring up to three objects for expert examination, and those people will attempt to determine the object’s age and possible function. Unlike the TV show, volunteers at this event do not offer appraisal but help people connect to the history contained within those objects. Presentations cover the whole of human existence in the region, and organizers try not to put date limits on what constitutes archaeology. “Science can tell us people have probably been in this area for over 15,000 years. But the Indigenous perspective suggests you can’t really put a time on it because some of their origin stories say they’ve been here forever,” said Butler. “There will be perspectives from tribes from the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, the Chinook Indian Nation, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, and the Klamath Tribes. Their presence will provide those perspectives that go back to ancient times but continue today—since all of these people are part of our world, and they are continuing to educate their people and others about ongoing traditions. Then, we move to more Euro-American settlements with their arrival in the early 19th century. We have several historical societies present. We also have multiple museums and cultural organizations that tell the story of more recent migrations and ongoing immigrant stories. The Portland Chinatown Museum will host a [calligraphy] exhibit, and The Japanese American Museum will host an exhibit,” explained Butler.
The Archaeology Roadshow embraces all phases of human settlement in the region and tries to present people with an experience that entertains and informs visitors about that shared history through activities and face-to-face engagement. Participants can throw an atlatl—a throwing spear—at a target as people have done for thousands of years to take down game. The Hellenic-American Cultural Center & Museum intends to perform a dance representing the Greek American experience in Oregon and SW Washington. Gresham Historical Society will present a musical-focused exhibit that explores the music history in Gresham titled Dance Halls to Divas, Gresham’s Musical Heritage. They will have some instruments at their booth for people to practice and explore their musical expressions. The Rocky Butte Preservation Society will showcase stone masons and metal workers’ craftmanship used while creating the viewing area on top of an ancient cinder cone.

Although people from universities, nonprofits, government agencies, and cultural organizations will staff most of the booths, Butler explained that several private companies in town carry out projects related to archaeology and history, supporting legal policy structures that help preserve and protect the past. One company sharing the exhibit Art and Craft of Mourning and Remembrance, an archaeology of memorialization, will look at the human experience engaged by memorializing people’s passing and how that occurs across the human experience. “So it’s not specific to the region. That’s one of the things that we hope visitors will get from this. There are important specific things that happened in our area, but it’s also important to know that we share a lot of common ground, at some scales, with how we approach the passing of loved ones, how we approach creating containers to store food, and make pottery. These things bring us together and are distinctive across our cultures,” said Butler.
The Archaeology Roadshow began in 2012 out of the Portland State University’s desire to expose students to public outreach practices in a campus event. The yearly event grew beyond Portland in 2017 when the roadshow opened in Harney County, with shows in Burns and Hines featuring specific regional exhibitors and historical societies. Post-pandemic, they have continued to expand into places like the Dalles and Bend. Growing beyond the Portland Metro area gave event organizers more opportunities to work with U.S. Government agencies that operate in those areas. “Federal agencies have carried out a lot of cultural resources work supporting archaeology and cultural preservation as part of their own mandates. You have to have a timber sale with the U.S. Forest Service. The consequence of that is you may potentially disturb archaeology and local history. And ahead of those big timber sales, you document what those impacts might be and then try to mitigate them ahead of the potential disturbance or destruction. So all of our federal agencies have mandates to protect and support archaeology,” explained Butler. “Organizations like the National Park Service will often attend more than one event. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will be in Portland, they’ll be in Bend, and they’ll probably be in Harney County.”

Butler noted that the Archaeology Roadshow is more than an informative event. It is a valuable tool in connecting organizations and municipalities to understand the importance of historical preservation as communities grow. “This kind of work is really about relationships. The Archaeology Roadshow builds relationships at different levels between the organizations doing this work. Every time you start digging in the ground, you might open up and identify some archaeology. There’s a lot of effort to ensure that we don’t lose historical knowledge as we go forth with development.” The organizing group wants to convey the ethics and legal aspects of artifact collecting in context to its importance to people and not just as a regulation. “We want to emphasize that when you simply dig into what may seem to be an archaeological site and remove objects, you’re losing the context. We lose our ability to understand broader meanings of what those artifacts mean relative to each other. We’re also harming descendant communities that might have special connections to those places. So we convey some of the ethics and the legal aspects of collecting,” said Butler.
Overall, the roadshow project intends to expand people’s understanding of archaeology, a practice often formed through movies and school field trips. “I think most people think that archaeology is exciting; there’s an adventure and an explorer level to it. The Indiana Jones image is about finding things, and a lot of people think archaeology is a treasure hunt. I hope people come and realize it’s so much more than that. Archaeology is everywhere. History is happening everywhere. We are so much richer if we understand it, and we feel much more connected to a place if we understand its history,” said Butler. “People will walk in with one concept of archaeology, and then it’s going to get a lot bigger because of the cultural connections.”
Virginia Butler and the other event organizers hope moving to East Portland after more than a decade will open this event to more organizations and residents who do not always have an opportunity to engage with history in a hands-on and dynamic environment. Within the over thirty-five pop-up exhibits, guests will find people demonstrating skills such as weaving cloth or fibers, tool making, and building baskets, with the option for visitors to participate. Anyone interested in history will also find booths filled with people offering a museum’s worth of information, Including Montavilla News contributor Patricia Sanders, who will join Paul Leistner from Mt. Tabor in sharing neighborhood history. Gateway Discovery Park is a fully accessible facility, and the event staff will have translators for Russian, Cantonese, and Spanish speakers available throughout the event so more people can participate in this community-enriching event. The event is free and open to the public thanks to financial support from East Portland Action Plan, Portland State University, and other sponsors.
Long a Montavilla landmark, the historic Saints Peter and Paul Episcopal Church is slated to be demolished to make room for a much-needed affordable housing complex.
The Montavilla church became known as Saints Peter and Paul only in 1968, when the congregations of the Montavilla church, St. Peter’s, merged with the Lents church, St. Paul’s. But the history of the Montavilla church goes back more than 100 years.
At its beginning, there was no church building, but the congregation had existed since at least 1915. At that time, Montavilla’s tiny Episcopalian community of some ten families gathered in homes or rented spaces. By 1920, they were an official mission church thanks to the assistance of Rev. Thomas Jenkins, rector of St. David’s in Portland.
Rev. Jenkins was dedicated to making Episcopal churches available to suburban communities. St. Peter’s was one of three mission churches he established in eastern Portland. Only St. Peter’s Chapel, as it was then called, survived and in 1926, got its own church building. When the congregation built a larger church in 1959, the original church was renamed Jenkins’ Hall in his honor.

But being designated a mission church did not necessarily come with a church building. The Montavilla congregation had to continue worshipping in rented spaces until it built a church in 1926. Until then, they were frequently forced to move as their rental spaces were sold. In 1920 and 1921 alone, they relocated five times.
Nor did a mission church come with a permanent priest. Sometimes, a visiting priest would conduct Sunday services, but sometimes, congregants like Dorcas Hallum and Ernest Stockley took the pulpit.
This 1924 Sanborn fire insurance map detail shows the last St. Peter’s rental located on E. 80th Avenue, opposite the big 1893 Methodist Episcopal Church.
In 1926, the St. Peter’s congregation took out a loan and erected its own church at the corner of Pine Street and 82nd Avenue. Despite its small size, it was designed by the prestigious Portland architectural firm headed by Ellis F. Lawrence, founder and dean of the University of Oregon School of Architecture, and so many years later, it became an official historical landmark.
On Sunday, September 12, 1926, the St. Peter’s congregation processed from their rented quarters on 80th to the church site at the corner of 82nd and Pine for the groundbreaking ceremony.

Archdeacon Jay Claud Black officiated the first service on November 14, 1926. On November 18, the new church held an open house with the Women’s Guild hosting an afternoon tea followed by an evening of entertainment and a dance.

During the Depression, St. Peter’s had a series of temporary priests, so much of the church operation was still up to members of the congregation. They paid off the church mortgage in 1930 and soon after built a social hall. Unfortunately, at one point, the church coffers were so low that parishioners Mark and Ethel Francklin paid the priest’s salary.
During the 1940s, the congregation continued to be led by temporary priests. Then, in 1950, it got its first permanent priest: Rev. Kent Lambert Haley, who served St. Peter’s for the next 16 years. When he retired at the end of 1966, he left a legacy of remarkable accomplishments, including a new and larger church.

Rev. Haley had arrived in Portland just one year earlier, fresh from divinity school in Berkeley, California. His first posting was at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, where he was also ordained as a priest. In 1950, Bishop Benjamin Dagwell urged Haley to take charge of St. Peter’s.
When he arrived in Montavilla, he found a rundown church surrounded by weeds. Rev. Haley’s daughter Mary still remembers playing in those weeds.
The church was located at the edge of Portland’s dense suburbs. 82nd Avenue was still a two-lane road, with farms, orchards, and nurseries to the east. At first, Rev. Haley, his wife Janice, and baby Mary had to live in a vicarage on 86th Avenue with a leaky roof and a crumbling basement.
During his 16 years at St. Peter’s, Haley spurred himself and his congregants into a flurry of activity. They helped with new building projects, maintaining and repairing the church building and grounds, organizing social events, and raising funds to cover expanding parish expenses.
Haley deeply loved church music, which would be a focus during his years as St. Peter’s priest. His masters’ thesis was on the boy choir in the parish church, and establishing a boys’ choir was a priority. He had directed boys’ choirs at St. Clement’s in Berkeley and St. Mark’s in Portland. In 1950, he created a boys’ choir at St. Peter’s. Around 1955, Haley added a girls’ choir.
Haley also introduced the medieval custom of the Boy Bishop, a practice he had revived in 1948 at St. Clement’s.

Every year on St. Nicholas Day, December 6, the choir elected one of its choristers to serve as Boy Bishop until Epiphany, January 6. The Bishop of Oregon installed the Boy Bishop, who would wear boy-size vestments and carry a bishop’s cross (crosier). He had various duties, including managing the choir, giving sermons, and leading processions. The last Boy Bishop was elected in 1965, Rev. Haley’s last year at St. Peter’s.
Other aspects of church life were improved under Rev. Haley’s leadership with the enthusiastic support of his membership.
In 1953 and 1954, the hall next to the church and the basement were enlarged. A new kitchen was added.
In 1955, St. Peter’s became an official parish, and Father Haley was instituted as its rector.
You would think, with all this activity on top of his religious duties, Haley would be pressed for time. But in 1954, he launched a children’s television show called “Noah’s Ark” on a local station. He told stories with his own drawings, just as he did for his Sunday school classes. The show ran weekly until 1957.

By 1956, St. Peter’s membership needed a bigger church, so the parish bought the vacant lots just west of the church. They also purchased the lot and house next door on Ash Street to serve as a new vicarage.
In 1958, the architectural firm of Dukehart and Kinne was hired to design a church that would seat 200 congregants and 50 choristers. St. Peter’s parishioner, Robert Kyle, oversaw the construction.
Groundbreaking occurred on November 30, 1958, and the new church was dedicated on November 27, 1959.

Father Haley wanted—and got—a traditional church design. He wanted architecture that reflected Anglican High Church traditions.
Father Haley described himself as an Anglo Catholic—or High Church—priest to distinguish Episcopalians from Protestants. In 1955, the Oregon Episcopal Convention dropped the word Protestant from the name of the Episcopal Church to stress continuity with traditional Roman Catholic practices. Haley was not happy when, in 1976, the national Episcopal Church reversed its position.
Besides getting a traditional Anglican church design, Rev. Haley argued for a pipe organ to provide a richer, smoother sound. A pipe organ was vastly more expensive, but fortunately, Bishop Benjamin Dagwell donated a Wicks pipe organ. The pipe organ needed its own room, but parishioners agreed to this added building expense. The church’s interior was designed with optimal acoustics in mind: lots of flat, smooth surfaces, including floors without carpets.

While church membership grew in the 1950s, it declined in the 1960s. In 1968, the Oregon Diocesan leaders recommended that it merge with another low-population church, St. Paul’s in Lents. The congregations agreed and the two churches became Sts. Peter and Paul. St. Paul’s rector, Rev. Lee H. Young, headed the combined church until 1977.
Under Rev. Scott H. Helferty, 1984-1994, Sts. Peter and Paul began programs to serve local communities in need, which had multiplied in the 1980s. Due to various economic and political conditions, there was a crisis of homelessness. Churches began programs to provide shelter and food.
Rev. Helferty and his parish began offering free dinners on Wednesdays to low-income and homeless people. So successful was this program that, in 1993, the Montavilla Business Association gave its Outstanding Citizen award to long-term parishioner Douglas M. Parker for his contribution to the program. The meal service continued as Brigid’s Table.
In subsequent years, under rectors Kurt Neilson, Sara Fischer, and others, new services were added. These services include Rahab’s Sisters, the Crisis Kitchen, the Red Wagon Project, and the Montavilla Wellness Fair.
Rahab’s Sisters was started in 2003 by a group of Episcopal lay and clergy women. It was inspired by the Maze Marigold project in London’s East End, which Rev. Fischer had observed firsthand in 2002. Rahab’s Sisters emulated the London project, offering non-judgmental hospitality to marginalized women and gender-diverse individuals in east Portland. Desiree Eden Ocampo, executive director of the project, refers to the service as harm reduction.
Beginning in 2011, Sts. Peter and Paul also reached out to Montavilla’s growing Latino community by offering Spanish language services, where visitors were welcomed by familiar images of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Spanish services continued until COVID arrived in 2020 when all in-person gatherings ended at the church.
While Sts. Peter and Paul reached out to the homeless and the hungry, it was slower to welcome female clergy. Lay women had long served in church guilds, but the Episcopal Church was slow to accept women clerics. Women were officially allowed to become deacons in 1970 and to become priests in 1976. Yet at Sts. Peter and Paul, only three women have held clerical positions: Jannis Goold, a deacon in 1990; Rev. Eleanor Applewhite Terry, a part-time assisting priest from 2003 to 2004; and Rev. Sara Fischer, a priest from 2020 to the present.

Over the years, Montavilla’s Episcopalian church has had its ups and downs, but it survived and served its community for at least 123 years. Now, the congregation is making the ultimate sacrifice, the surrender of its worship and social spaces in the interest of serving those in greater need.
Fortunately, the church’s service-oriented parishioners and their allies will continue their community assistance work. Rahab’s Sisters will operate from its temporary home in the nearby Montavilla United Methodist Church while it seeks funding for a dedicated facility. A new initiative, the Montavilla Collective, explores ways to weave a wider web of connection. In addition, the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon will be seeding a new community, currently under the name St. Mary the Prophet, to minister to those in the Montavilla neighborhood and beyond who are not served by traditional churches. The Rev. Sara Fischer will lead this new mission initiative part-time beginning in 2024.
The St. Peter and Paul’s complex will soon be gone, but its spirit of service and generosity will live on.
Saints Peter and Paul Episcopal Church will hold their last traditional Sunday liturgy at 10 a.m. on December 3rd. A special deconsecration will occur later that day at 5 p.m. followed by dinner. The church community invites the public to attend one or both events held at 247 SE 82nd Avenue.
Construction is underway at the small Art Deco building located at 7631 NE Glisan Street. Restoration plans for this building started back at the beginning of 2020, but past permit issues caused work delays.
Constructed in 1940 as a dentist’s office, it’s the loan example of Art Deco architecture in the area. “The original owner was Herbert E. Craner, a Portland dentist, who practiced in this building for many years. When he died in 1957, his son Eugene took over the business.” Recounted Patricia Sanders, a local Montavilla historian.
Patrick Donaldson, the building’s owner, discover its dental history and found records of what Eugene Craner later did with the property. “His son, [Eugene], is the one that filled out the building application in 1983 to turn it into Montavilla Quality Pizza – a take-out pizza joint,” said Donaldson.
It turned out that the 1983 permit was the most recent one filed with the city before Donaldson started work. “That, in fact, was the last permit legally pulled on the space, despite the number of businesses that have occupied the building. I am still wrangling with the city to get a permit approved based on this old use.” Explained Donaldson, speaking a few months back.
Donaldson bought the building to become the new home of his architecture firm Harka Architecture. To accommodate his business, much of the interior and the entire roof will need rebuilding. The exterior walls are now extended up by a few feet, allowing space to install wood I-beams that will support a new roof.
A recent permit for the project will add an accessible ramp to the building and change occupancy classification from F1 to B. With the addition of the ramp and the new higher walls, the building’s appearance will vary slightly from its original form. However, much of its character seems to be intact.
This project differs from other similar updates on the street. It’s a restoration of a distinct architectural style performed by an architect for an architectural firm’s office. Acting as both a showpiece of architectural style and a classic building’s rehabilitation, much of its final look will be a statement about the new occupants and their respect for history.
The BIKETOWN bike-share program expanded into Montavilla this month, for the first time making bikes available for riders to rent in the area. With the program’s expansion, Portland is replacing the older bikes that first arrived in 2016. The new bicycles are all new pedal-assist electric bikes. These bikes will help average riders make the long trip downtown and back without an excessive amount of effort.
Previous to this expansion of the program, residents would only see the orange BIKETOWN bikes in Montavilla when someone had taken them out of their designated area. Now they can be seen all over the neighborhood, with a concentration around the Portland Community College campus.
The BIKETOWN website and the new BIKETOWN app (iPhone/Android) shows available bike locations near you. Additionally, thanks to a partnership with the ride-hailing app Lyft, riders can now rent e-bikes through the Lyft app. In addition to Lyft, the program sponsors are Nike, Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT), and Kaiser Permanente.
BIKETOWN begins rolling out the expanded service this month, starting with 500 of the new e-bikes. That fleet will grow the to 1,500 e-bikes over the coming weeks. The 1,000 older BIKETOWN bicycles from 2016 are being removed from service as the new e-bikes become available.
The expanded coverage and new pedal-assist electric bikes come at a cost. The program is increasing its fares at all levels, leading some to question the choice of going all-electric. Regardless of its long term pricing effects, this is a growth opportunity for Montavilla’s transportation options.
We live in a bike-friendly city, and BIKETOWN continues to make that mode of transportation more accessible to all rider. The next few weeks will have summer-like weather, making now a great time to try out the new bikes.
