Welcome to the Architectural Heritage Center

The Architectural Heritage Center is a non-profit resource center for historic preservation. We help people APPRECIATE, RESTORE, and MAINTAIN the vintage homes, neighborhoods, and buildings that make the Portland area such a special place to live. Owned and operated by the Bosco-Milligan Foundation, we host over 40 programs, tours, workshops, and exhibits each year and maintain one of the largest collections of architectural artifacts in the United States. We invite you to join us!
