Vivian Apts.

Building, 1911

CLEAN MODERN REASONABLE

The Vivian Apts. building has seen better days, and so has the sign. It was painted over another sign, unreadable now, but another is visible to the right, "MODERN 2 ROOM APARTMENTS."

The building is at NE MLK Blvd and Couch but you can see the sign from Grand Ave.

I think that unreadable word looks like "Aloo" or something close.

It appears that the Vivian is going to be Prosper Portland's first CPACE project. It will be interesting to see how the restoration proceeds.
CPACE stands for Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (www.pacenation.com)
It is a financing method that enables renewable energy and energy conservation upgrades to buildings.
