The Secret History

During a recent remodel of her 1911 bungalow's kitchen and bathroom, Linda Centurion connected with her house's past in a truly magical way.

After knocking down a wall to create room for the updated kitchen, Linda found a time capsule. The contents included a 1937 library card for someone named Emory Miller; a woman's beaver fur hat; and an Oregon Theatre Booster card. Emory actually left his marbles there too (the glass kind, that is).

The Centurion Centennial

Honoring the past pushes beyond the walls of Linda's house. In 2011, she and her neighbors are planning a birthday celebration for all the houses in the 'hood that that turn 100.
