ABSTRACT An abstract of the dissertation of Tanya Lyn March for the Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Studies presented May 28, 2010 Title: Guild's Lake Courts: An Impermanent Housing Project Guild's Lake Courts was built as temporary worker housing for the steel and shipyard industries during World War IL The massive housing development in :Northwest.Portland consisted of 2,43~ units of housing, five community buil~lngs, five childcare centers, a grade school and a fire stat~on. Guild's Lake Courts was the eighth largest housing project built at that time in the United States. The peak population in January 1945 was approximately 10,000 individuals. Archival research, face-to-face oral histories, and resident reunions were used to explore the social, architectural and political history of Guild's Lake Courts. The lens for.understanding how the community operated is dominantly for the social history that of a childhood homefront experience. Four wartime themes emerged in this study: 1) that Portland's focus on prejudice dimmed during the war years, 2) that the community. was a confluence of humanity, 3) that the design of the site and the housing was shaped by a convergence of New Deal innovations i_n design construction technologies and e~ectrification and 4) that there was a willingness to sacrifice creattire comforts during t~e war years. Guild's Lake Courts as a residential community under went thre~ rapid evolutions prior to its demolition in 1951, a wartime housing operation 1942-1945, affordable housing 1945-1948, and a haven for Vanport Refugees June 1948-1950. \ Guild's Lake Courts history has been overloo~ed but it offers insights into the possible fate of the residents of Vanport City had the community not been flooded in 1948.· The story of Guild's Lake Courts is a counterpoint story· to Vanport City the largest of the three defense housing projects in Oregon that admitted African-Americans during the war years. 2

The Project Area encompasses approximately 31 acres and is generally bounded by Flushing Avenue to the south, Throop Avenue to the east, Lynch Street to the north, and Union Avenue, Walton Street, and Harrison Avenue to the west. As part of this action, the HPD is undertaking an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Broadway Triangle Redevelopment Project. Consideration for cultural resources, including both archaeological and historic architectural resources, must be undertaken as part of the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) process.
