Portland's Blighted Landmark Gets New Purpose
Description
Portland’s long-neglected Gordon’s Fireplace is getting a fresh start—thanks to nonprofit Do Good Multnomah, which has bought the historic, graffiti-covered landmark to transform it into housing for homeless veterans. After years of blight, break-ins, and community complaints, the city spent $17,000 on initial cleanup efforts, and while new owners face hurdles and delays, this project symbolizes hope for turning a city eyesore into a beacon of dignity and stability for those who’ve served.
