New Arrival!

Richard Ritz was an architect, writer, and architectural historian, who began his long career working in the office of renowned Portland architect Pietro Belluschi. An Architect Looks at Downtown Portland is a collection of Ritz’ columns first printed in the 1980s by the Portland Chapter of the American Institute of Architects in their publication Architalk. The book is packed with images of downtown buildings from the cast-iron era to some of the more recent skyscrapers, and including buildings that have long-since been demolished.

The Bosco-Milligan Foundation recently acquired copies of this 1991 book by Mr. Ritz, the late author of Architects of Oregon, and are offering them for only $12 with shipping & handling, or you can pick them up at the AHC for $10.
