How We Lived

How We Lived <p>Had you lived in Portland back in 1870, you would have pumped your water from a backyard well, and you&rsquo;d never have left the house without a bowler or a hoopskirt. A hundred years later, you might have lounged by the pool outside a split-level ranch and cavorted in the nude at Vortex I. For our third annual history issue, we take you on a tour of <strong>How We Lived</strong> in the Rose City&rsquo;s past, with stops in 1860, 1900, 1940 and 1970. It&rsquo;s the next best thing to having been there yourself.</p>
