waterfront for the Rose Festival.

The City of Portland has been a favorite port of call for visiting Navy ships
since the beginning of the Rose Festival in 1907.

A total of ten ships from the U.S. Navy, the Royal Canadian Navy and the
U.S. Coast Guard are scheduled to arrive in Portland this week. The fleet
should begin departing on Monday morning, June 13.

The idea for the Rose Festival in Portland, Oregon was presented to the
public in a speech by Mayor Harry Lane at the end of the Lewis and Clark
Centennial Exposition in 1905. The first festival occurred in 1907.

One of our most popular events during Rose Festival time in Portland is the
Starlight Parade the offers fun for everyone. From traditional marching bands
and flood-lit floats. This years pageant will be celebrating 40 years in the city
of Portland. 

Harry Lane (1855-1917)

Lane was elected mayor of Portland in 1905
and again in 1907. He appointed Lola G.
Baldwin as the first policewoman in the
nation.

The community of Vanport was a public housing project once located between
the city of Portland, Oregon and the Columbia River, what is now the site of
Delta Park and the Portland International Raceway. Construction began in
August 1942 to house the workers at the wartime Kaiser Shipyards in Portland
and near-by Vancouver, Washington. It was home to 40,000 people, making it
Oregon’s second-largest city at the time, and the largest public housing project
in the nation.

The city was destroyed at 4:05 p.m. on May 30, 1948, when a 200-foot section 
of the dike holding back the Columbia River collapsed during a flood, killing
fifteen people. The city was underwater by nightfall leaving its inhabitants
homeless.

The Division Street Corral was a famous dance hall built by Charles & Adoline
Ceciliani that opened in December of 1948 at S.E.171st and Division in Portland,
Oregon. Famous entertainers who performed there included: Johnny Cash, Hank
Thompson, Bobby Vinton, Paul Revere & the Raiders, Ray Price, Bobby Vee, The
Ventures, Bobby Darin, and many more.

After a suspected arson fire that destroyed parts of the building, the Cecilianis
renovated and eventually leased the corral to renters, including an evangelist,
bingo group and flea market. It was demolished in late March 2007 and is now
the site of a affordable housing development (shown below).

Center’s ninth affordable housing project, and third in it’s partnership
