Ladies gettin’ it DONE! Meet (L-R) Molly Baker, the HOPE Crew Manager at the National Trust for Historic Preservation; Milan Jordan, the HOPE Crew Director at the National Trust for Historic Preservation; and Ariana Makau, the founder of Nzilani Glass the second person in the world – and the first woman to receive a Master’s Degree in Stained Glass Conservation from the Royal College of Art in London. The HOPE Crew is empowering a new generation of historic preservationists across the country. It is AMAZING that these incredible women, along with Oregon Tradeswomen and local Job Corps students, worked on the Odd Fellows building street level windows for 2 weeks, making our dream of historically restoring the building that much more OF of a reality.

It was 100 years ago on August 18th 1920 that the 19th amendment to the Constitution was finally ratified, enfranchising all American women and declaring for the first time that they, like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. It took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right, a right that made it possible for women like me to stand up for what I believe in today. And so we honor all of those that fought for and believe in this mission, in the importance of women and their contributions throughout history making this country what it is today. In celebration of Women's Heritage and the 100-year anniversary of the Women's Suffrage Movement, we are elated to announce that Benjamin Moore and the National Trust for Historic Preservation chose the Astoria Odd Fellows building as one of two sites in the country to donate paint that will transform the entire exterior of this 1923 community building. We are proud to celebrate this revolutionary achievement with these esteemed partners and are incredibly grateful that they recognize the importance of female owned and operated buildings. We know the fight continues and we thank all who continue to recognize the birthright of every woman - the right to equality, to be free and to be ourselves.
Your support secured a 150k National Trust for Historic Preservation grant for the Odd Fellows building! Thank-you so much, we love you!!!
