In 1956 the Inman House was torn down to provide parking space for a nearby dairy.

The photograph ran in the Oregonian, and three years later, on the final page in the January 26, 1959 issue of Life Magazine with the caption: “Fall of the House of Inman”.

A journal on the past and the present of
Deep in the recesses of my upstairs closet, beneath two Monopoly games and layers of pre-Nirvanian detritus, compacted and folded over itself as to make precise chronological dating difficult; beneath a strata contained old Rolling Stone magazines with covers that featured Tears For Fears, “Sign of the Times” era Prince and “Like a Prayer” era Madonna, there was yet another layer.
It contained the roll book of the infamous “Explorers Club” that met at the Lions Restaurant’s lounge across from campus in Eugene, a empty LP cover for The Jam's "Setting Sons" and a small cardboard box.
Inside the box were pictures.

They are not particularly good pictures. Clumsy first attempts at black and white photography without benefit of composition and sharp focus. There is a definite preference for tall buildings.
They show my very first ever view of

My best guess is that the pictures are from early in my college years, most likely the summer of 1984. My friend Kari had invited me to


The Greyhound station was not in this condition when I saw it.



Had I have known of its existence, this photograph of the Fine Arts Building without trees or Max tracks on Morrison would have fit in well in my post; “57 Years at Tenth and Morrison” (in the April 2006 Archives), taken 35 years after the 1949 picture and twenty two years before the 2006 views.
The rest of the pictures are pretty much the same uninspiring lot, but near the bottom of the stack, treasure!

There are exposed streetcar tracks (were under 6 inches of asphalt) at 50th and Hawthorne, where a curb extension is being constructed. They were exposed this weekend (Jan 13,14 2007), but probably will soon be covered or removed. I have pictures if you don't get there in time.

Robert Inman was my grandfather's brother. I've long known of another home in Portland where he lived with his wife Clarissa, but never of this home. Nor had our family details of the mill location. Thank you for your post and the pictures. Imagine our chuckle at seeing the Fall of the House of Inman! - Jennifer Inman, Medford OR

I am not a company in Mumbai and I am not a website designing company in Delhi. I am a woman who lived in the Portland that you photographed, and I sincerely appreciate these pictures. Downtown was my neighborhood. My friends lived there, on and off the streets. I used to sit at the corner of the little lane that led up past the back of the Poulson house, between the funky Eat Now cafe and a hump of old money plant and lilac, and get high with the other beautiful people before we caught the #57 and went home to sleep. I remember that Camperdown Elm. Today I have a Camperdown Elm growing in my front yard in memory of the Victorian Queen of the East Side. You just don't know how much this means to me, seeing this. Thank you sincerely.
