The goal of Preservation Pages is to bring people together to discuss books that relate to themes of preservation: place, design, urban planning, and other topics that we at Greater Portland Landmarks think about every single day. Each gathering will be in the greater Portland area in a site that shares some connection with the content of the book for a local context. The club is free to join and there’s no commitment, just come to the ones you’re interested in!

This month we’re reading The Yellow House by Sarah Broom. A memoir of a home and community in New Orleans that were completely destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, The Yellow House speaks to issues that Portland has faced—the decimation of entire neighborhoods—and issues that it will face even more in the future—the threat of extreme weather and rising sea levels. We will be meeting at Rising Tide Brewing.
