A plan to incorporate something old, something new
A proposal to convert a three-story, 114-year-old former church into a private club and construct a detached, five-story hotel nearby received land use approval from the Portland Historic Landmarks Commission on Monday.
The ex-First Church of Christ, Scientist is located at 1819 N.W. Everett St., in Portland’s Northwest District. The building, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, occupies the southern portion of the 30,000-square-foot, L-shaped site. More recently, the building had been home to the Northwest Neighborhood Cultural Center (NNCC), and then the Northwest Children’s Theater. The NNCC owns the property, which is for sale and developer Founders Developments plans to purchase.
Plans call for transforming the historic landmark into a private club with restaurants, a coffee shop, a spa, an event space, and a rooftop deck.
The new five-story building will be located at 1880 N.W. Flanders St. It will include an 80-room hotel, a restaurant and retail spaces. One loading space was proposed for the hotel. No parking was proposed.
