I created this page due to a photo request from WikiProject: Oregon. The content will be fleshed out within 48 hours. Tedder (talk) 01:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I second Tedder's "hangon." The photo was requested at WikiProject Oregon, in a discussion involving several people. This is a notable Portland landmark, with media coverage. Speedy deletion here would be counterproductive. -Pete (talk) 01:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Tribune article from '06 talks about green building goal, anticipated LEED cert.
• Tribune article from '07, "most energy-efficient historical renovation project in the country"

• [1] Lots of info about old historical events from Portland Center Stage website
• [2] Google cache of apparently dead "Voices of the Armory" website...lots of good nuggets

Note, this article is very close to being long enough for a feature on

It's about 2000 characters (with spaces) now, so it's technically long enough, though a bit more expansion wouldn't hurt. I'll remove the stub tag. Maybe the LEED certification for a DYK? --Esprqii (talk) 20:10, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I left a little comment in the text about my vote for DYK. So no "before" photo?
