Order your own Century Home Plaque
Your home deserves a birthday present for reaching its 100th year! The LNA is now offering Century Home Plaques. These heavy cast and polished bronze plaques are 2 1/2 inches tall and 10 inches wide, and will show the year of your home’s built-year in the same font used on the Laurelhurst arches. They can be permanently attached to your house (they fit in most narrow siding), on a wall or door, or displayed on a shelf or mantel.
The LNA is now taking orders for Century Home Plaques for houses built in the year 1926 and earlier.
Order at the Online Store, or send a check for $100 payable to “Laurelhurst Neighborhood Association” to LNA Treasurer, 3721 SE Ankeny Street, Portland OR 97214. (Include a note with your check saying you’re ordering a Century Plaque, and include your name, address, email, phone, and the year of your house.)
Plaque orders are sent to the foundry in batches. We receive orders until mid-October. The plaques will be ready for distribution in early December. We’ll contact you by email with the time and location of pickup when the plaques are read.
In a hurry for a gift? Send an email to lnacenturyplaque@gmail.com, after you order. We’ll send you a printable attractive gift certificate for you to give as a present while awaiting the finished plaque. Inquire for details.
Samples of plaques are shown to the left. Your plaque will look like this, with your personalized built-year.
