When lots in the Sunnyside Addition first went on sale in 1888\, the neighborhood quickly \;became a popular eas t side streetcar suburb. Commercial development along Belmont Street and H awthorne Boulevard soon \; followed\, and by the 1920s\, the neighborh ood was a bustling part of the city of Portland. Through images and maps\, local historian Val C. Ballestrem shares the story of the early developme nt of the neighborhood\, from early steam-powered streetcars to the arriva l of a beloved library and other well-known buildings. No registration req uired\, space is limited. \;
