Gordon of the Lawyers Title and Trust Company Portland OR dated Sept. 22 & Nov. 24 1919 from the library of Caroline Augusta Gray Kamm 1840-1932 noted socialite and philanthropist in Portland built home for poor women & girls with the YWCA and was daughter of PNW pioneer William H. Gray 1810-1889. Scarce Abstract of Title typescript manuscript prepared for Caroline Kamm regarding properties accumulated by her husband Jacob Kamm and then inherited by her upon his death and according to his will included here in 1912 in order to clear liens on the properties. These lots were part of the properties originally granted to Stephen Coffin 1807-1882 and Daniel H. Lownsdale in 1850 and subsequently acquired by Oregon Pioneer William Chapman 1808-1892 and where he built a home occupied for only a few years and later served as the Surveyor General of Oregon from 1857-1861 but opposed US President Abraham Lincoln. Others who owned parcels included in the Kamm holdings listed here encompassed were John H. Couch and Benjamin Stark. Coffin was one of the earliest investors and land promoters in Oregon who in 1849 had bought a half-interest in the entire Portland townsite and in 1856 with neighbor Finice Caruthers established the Pioneer Water Works driking water supply for the City. Lownsdale 1803-1862 was another owner of the original townsite and actually was the one who resurveyed Portland with 200 feet per side small blocks 64 foot streets and added the contiguous park blocks. Documents reproduced within this Abstract of Title also include Ordinance No. 69 which governed the 1869 Survey of the City of Portland and Couch’s Addition; Ordinance No. 177 which regulated the base line and surveys of the City boundaries Ordinance 178 Ordinance 619; description of the Donation Claim plat map in 1862; the numerous ownership changes amongst the McMillen’s Bolsinger’s Crouse’s Herrington’s William Ladd and more to Jacob Kamm. Included in the entirety as well was the Probate No. 10444 filed to clear the estate of Jacob Kamm filed by Caroline Gray Kamm in Dec. 1912 which carefully delineated all of the properties owned by the deceased and their values. It appears from the Will that Kamm Oregon Steam & Navigation Co. Vancouver Transportation Co. and other entities owned a large part of downtown Portland OR with lots spread over 25 different city blocks. The controversial Portland Building designed by post-Modernist Michael Graves occupies the block now and was completed in 1982 and later the massive copper statue Portlandia was mounted above the main entry on Fifth Ave. in 1985.

Softcover. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Light creasing. Clean unmarked pages. <br> <br> Dr. Gomes was a professor at Howard University for 49 years in sociology and criminology. He was also a former Olympic athlete representing Guyana in the 1960 Rome summer Olympics. Besides his scholarly work Gomes was active in the black liberation movement. He had an impressive and deep collection of black art historical advertising and iconography that spoke of the passage of black people and how they sought to record their life stories. His collection spanned from slavery to antebellum life to Jim Crow to the Harlem Renaissance to sport to the civil rights movement. <br> "Jacob Armstead Lawrence was born in Atlantic City New Jersey in 1917. The son of Southern migrants he moved with his mother and sister to Harlem in 1930 at age 13. There during his participation in community art workshops Lawrence quickly discovered his love of art through the encouragement of teachers such as painter Charles Alston. Throughout the 1930s Lawrence's art was inspired by the cultural visionaries of the Harlem Renaissance. In 1938 Lawrence had his first solo exhibition at the Harlem YMCA and started working for the WPA Federal Art Project. In 1940 he received a grant from the Rosenwald Foundation to create a 60-panel epic The Migration of the Negro now known as The Migration Series; when the series was exhibited at Edith Halpert's Downtown Gallery the following year the then 23-year-old artist catapulted to national acclaim. In the ensuing decades Lawrence continued to create paintings drawn from the African American experience as well as historical and contemporary themes such as war religion and civil rights. He taught with Josef Albers at Black Mountain College in North Carolina in 1946 and later at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. He moved to Seattle in 1971 teaching at the University of Washington until 1983. During his later years Lawrence worked in a variety of media including large-scale murals silkscreen prints and book illustrations. Until his death in 2000 Lawrence honed a unique visual language of abstraction that remained steeped in the human condition." - Phillips Collection <br> This is an oversized or heavy book which requires additional postage for international delivery outside the US.
