<P><IMG alt="Re-Building South Portland" align=left
src="http://visitahc.org/files/images/RebuildingSouthPortlandSmall.jpg"> South
Portland is one of Portland's "lost neighborhoods" and an important part of the
city's historical memory. The neighborhood's size and proximity to downtown made
it the most visible immigrant district in the city from the late 19th century
until the 1950s.<BR>South Portland was substantially erased at a single
historical moment by highway construction and Portland first Urban Renewal
Program. The remnants of South Portland—the area now known as the Lair Hill and
Corbett Neighborhoods—have much to tell us about the process that remade the
socially conservative Portland of the 1950s into the progressive city it is
today. They played a vital role in forming Portland's system of neighborhood
associations and were the first to experience the wave of gentrification that
has since affected much of the city.<BR></P>
<P>Please join us at the AHC on Friday, October 8th at 6:00 PM for the opening
reception of this exhibit in our Meyer Memorial Gallery. The reception will be
followed by a brief lecture on South Portland by Dr. Carl Abbott, a professor at
Portland State University. Abbott has written extensively about the growth and
character of Portland. </P></SPAN></DIV>
