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 any and all houses built in the year 1927 and earlier.
Order at the Online Store, or send a check for $125 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.
