This old open house

Oregon National Register spots that take advantage of tax freezes have to be open to the public -- the actual dirt-tracking, medicine-cabinet-spying, antique-loving public -- one day per year. And the state Parks & Rec department thoughtfully compiles a monthly calendar of open house events.

Up this weekend is the Sidney Ruddy House (1725 SE 16th Ave.) in Ladd's Addition, which is open Monday. Scheduled for September are the Herman Brookman-designed Alan and Barbara Goldsmith House, Kohn House, and the Whidden & Lewis-designed Wilcox House, as well as a handful of historic apartment buildings, among them Barcelona and Estelle Court.

No turrets, you see

Walker Macy and TVA Architects presented designs for Saturday Market's new home in Waterfront Park to the Historic Landmarks Commission during a design advice yesterday afternoon.

The commission...did not much care for the design, especially TVA's airy, modern, bridge-inspired shade structures. Full story in tomorrow's DJC, but photos of the huge model are online at the PDC website now.
