Old Footage of Portland 1938
Просмотров 89 тыс.12 лет назад
A film from the City of Portland Archives documenting "run down" areas of the city. Some footage is from North Portland and some from the Eastside, but most is from the South Portland neighborhood, a working class Jewish and Italian neighborhood just south of Downtown that was leveled in 1964 to make way for a series of monolithic urban renewal projects.

Tenement on Sherman West of Front in 1938. From City of Portland Archives
Looks stunning and has good fire escapes. Think we forgot about health and safty. In manchester uk fallowfield was stunning .I have photos old black and white ones. You should see it now....bubonic plague will ve back there soon...
Lots of mom and pop grocery stores Several in NW Portland
I love these old videos. Especially the color ones. Seeing how people moved and their mannerisms fascinates me. (I know...I need to get a life.) Anyway, thanks for posting them!
I grew up in Portland in the 50s. Can't say I would have been unhappy growing up in Portland in 1938 except for the fact there was a looming war on the horizon.
Fredmeyer was founded in Portland Oregon.
It makes me so sad.
Was this ever on TV ?
I wonder who filmed this ?
THIS WAS LONG BEFORE THE DEMOCRATS HAVE DESTROYED IT!
I recognize some of these houses. Seeing them 85 years ago, the year my parents were born, is a surreal window to the past.
I could not say for sure where any of those places were. …other than the few street signs..I think.
Yeah those were the good old days before the Democrats turn Portland into a gigantic shit hole
A fallen city.
AHH when there was no crime
Not a Hipster in sight, thanks for sharing this classic footage
Tent cities!
Great job showing pictures of Portland. Landmarks? No. Overview? No. You showed pictures of houses and houses. WTF?! Those could be pictures from anywhere. Not necessarily Portland. I'll cut you slack if this is a HS project. Otherwise, you're just someone posting film of some neighborhoods. I cannot give you enough 👎.
oddly looks the same in most areas
Nice. A lot of that was still there in the early 1970's. I moved there from the suburbs. I watched a lot of old buildings destroyed in the 1970's. You could always tell when they started a new demolition project. There would be cockroaches all over that area. Big ones.
The Roaches always sense when the "Big One's" a'coming. They'd all head out en masse for the next dive bar down. Now they're all hipster dives. Urban renewal.
The idiot that keeps posting stuff about Portland Oregon neglects to state that it is Portland Oregon. He evidently is ignorant of the fact that there are other cities named Portland in the USA
It might make the video more entertaining and interesting if the viewer knew which Portland you are talking about. There are several towns and cities named Portland in the United States.
Run down? Looks pretty darned good to me. No homeless tents. No garbage. This looks respectable, except for a few homes, which you're always going to have. Streets look clean. Especially compared with the way downtown PDX looks today, 2021.
Is this Portland, ME or Portland, OR?
Kinda surprised that (1) color film was used and (2) not all of the color has faded away
Portland where, Oregon, Maine, Texas???? Where?
I wonder if the people from Portland was racist back then too?
Extremely!
@@hapjoy16 In Portland? No. It was a liberal location back then.

Hi
"Urban renewal," Memorial Stadium, I-5, etc. (1960s-70s) carved away tons of Portland's soul and history.
Wilkes-Barre, PA still looks like this.
22 seconds of basically NOTHING at the beginning. This is known as "padding" a video to give it more length.
Would have been nice to make the distinction that this was Portland Oregon and not Portland Maine an older and grander city.
Portland, ME is weak sauce.
Thank you for clarifying. I am from Canada, and wanted to know which Portland this was
Wanted to see where Grandma lived until about 1921 . South Portland was looking pretty bad when they did urban renewal in 1960s. I think it was OK in 1920s still.
Wow wouldn't that be a horrible horrible life with neighbors just house after house
Is this Portland Maine, or Portland Oregon?
Maybe a little rundown, but not burned down!
Oregon is such a s*** hole I was actually going to buy property there and a real estate agent told me I shouldn't!
oregon is beautiful. Its stunning. More land in oregon is forest than is inhabited by people. Portland is not the best urban area currently but you are foolish if you think all of oregon is just the troubled areas of portland.
Now everyone's brain in Portland is in poor condition!
I love these historical city movies. This was still the great depression, though the worst was over by '38. I was struck by how many old homes/apartments by today's standards were still considered new (or newer). I would expect many of the structures in this video are still standing, but many are long gone.
Liberals fleeing California only to destroy Arizona and Oregon. Too funny!
Arizona was destroyed in the 1300's, and Oregon is doing just fine, thanks. Would be great if you maga bastards would gather up in one place so it would be easier to get rid of you
The liberals are staying and only the normal thinking Republicans are leaving due to the insanity in the state.
I love the comments. A bunch of Leftist Progressives loving the Poverty in this old clip as these buildings are about to fall down. At the tale end of the Great Depression and all these commenters are blaming developers and Californians for ruining Portland. These people want a Great Depression Portland back. What losers!
1938 Portland: Good morning Bob, how are the kids? 2021 Portland: You have a huge aura and your face is melting. Got a cigarette?
Portland is full of miserable losers now. Californians brought in some money and positive work ethic, but not enough to keep Portland from sinking into absolute sh!tholerie.
youtube wont let me post videos of portland now
Keep trying
try removing the questionable content
Maine? Oregon?
The latter, thenkfully. Less brutal Winters
Where's all the garbage and homeless? This was during the depression
Unlike now they weren't slobs and very little got thrown out everything was reused until no possible use could be wrung out of it.
there was no meth, not much heroin, and no leftist imbecility running city hall. Vagrancy was not coddled and encouraged. There was still shame in being a vagrant junky by choice. Now the virtue signal yard sign commie mob coddles it, basically turing parts of Portland into open-air opium dens. Wanna blame someone? Blame the garbage human left wing voters of Portland.
Dominic S. Well said.
@@utalk2much455 Self immolate, or better yet- Stay in Gresham
There were a number of "shanty towns" located in outskirts. Hobo villages. etc.
Looks eerie.
my family is 3 generations of living in Portland starting in 40's, we're still here 2021
I wonder how many of those old firetraps caught fire and burned to the ground before the fire department could put it out.
@Salazar payne I wasn't around back then, so I too can only guess, but considering the all wood construction of these homes as well as the very close proximity to each other combined with many people who, during The Great Depression, couldn't afford electricity, used candles and kerosene lanterns to give light there likely was a propensity for them to burn. It would be interesting to review old newspaper accounts of house fires.
@Salazar payne I've read and seen accounts about the Vanport floods. Your relatives were very lucky to have survived although I'm sure it made the hard economic times just that much harder for them. And we must remember there were no federal or state safety net programs such as welfare, social security, food stamps, etc. They were entirely on their own. My mother grew up in the Sellwood area as she was born in 1916 and she used to tell us stories about some things that happened back in The Great Depression. Her father had inherited several square miles of land that is now in the Milwaukie industrial area around Hwy 212, but as he was an evangelistic minister, he gave most of it away to his flock so they could sell it for cheap to buy food for their families. We inherited nothing from him.
House fires were common in that era. Lots of periphial damage and fatalities.
Where are all the junkies?
