What's the Irvington Historic District?
The southwest corner of Alameda is subject to an historic district overlay called the Irvington Historic District established in 2010. Oregon law protects buildings with historic resource designations and changes to the exterior of homes in the district must go through a historic design review process. Not all structures in the district have this requirement, though about 85% do. Owners can also potentially qualify for tax incentives based on this designation.
