[Brandon Spencer-Hartle]

What's going on around the state this week you ask? Well, we decided to make today's Preservation Roundup short and sweet so you can read about Oregon's preservation happenings over a weekend beer or iced tea. Enjoy! 

Astoria. Check out this succinct blog post about energy efficient window repair.

Cascadia. The New York Times blog looks at the need for seismic upgrade in Oregon schools. 

Champoeg. Oregon State University is inviting the public to check out archaeological digs at the Champoeg State Heritage Area. 

Corvallis. A 1911 Craftsman is being hurriedly relocated to avoid demolition for more student townhouses. 

Cottage Grove. There's a great article in the Sentinel about window repair at the Armory.

Portland. Gatehouse Number 1 on Mount Tabor is being restored, Terwilliger Parkway is turning 100, Portland's bridges will be the focus of a few tours, and there's an Oregonian piece on the Most Endangered Jantzen Beach Carousel (we are tracking this very closely).

Timberline. Mark your calendar for a fun weekend at Timberline later this summer.

That's it for this week's roundup. Thanks to HPLO Board member Liz Carter for the fantastic photos of this summer's archaeological dig at Fort Lane.
