Sullivan's Gulch 1932

Here's a nice picture of the Gulch as the Lloyd Golf Course was under construction.  The houses on the left of the picture are in our neighborhood.  It's from a wonderful collection of photos from the website Vintage Portland.

Here's the description for the photo: "Sullivan’s Gulch was at one time a river bed, then a route for trains, and now the I-84 freeway also follows its path. For a few years part of Lloyd Golf Course lay in it bed. Most of the course was atop the south bank of Sullivan’s Gulch (up the slope on the right) but a couple of the holes, including this green under construction, were down in the gulch itself. This view is east from about 15th."


If you have old photos of our neighborhood, get in touch with them to share them.
