Support Restore Oregon and enjoy an exclusive opportunity to experience the Isam White Home with a special presentation by owner/designer Anne De Wolf, of Arciform, a Portland design-build firm specializing in historic preservation. Anne and her team have done an exceptional job in restoring the grandeur of this Colonial Revival home listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Not only does the original, welcoming, and cozy spirit of the home remain intact, but it also highlights the sophisticated and whimsical personality of the current owners, Anne and Richard De Wolf.
Kick off Women's History month with us and learn about Rose White, Hilma Carlson, and Anne De Wolf, bold women of Portland whose histories have all helped shape our City.
. . . . .
Tickets include a 2-hour experience to explore the Isam White House (IWH). When you arrive, there will be time to view the home as well as enjoy light bites, provided by Salted Stone, and drinks, with Freeland Spirits, as you cozy up to the fireplace. Anne De Wolf of Arciform and Melanie Nead of Lonesome Pictopia will give a brief presentation highlighting the history of IWH women and design followed by an interactive tile painting workshop. Learn how Anne and Arciform’s staff of very talented craftspeople take a sensitive approach in their projects, focusing on restoration rather than making architectural changes. During the workshop, guests will have the opportunity to create their own decorative tile.
