## Resource

Portland’s long-neglected Gordon’s Fireplace building is finally getting a makeover, with fresh paint and boarded-up windows marking the start of a major transformation. Once a historic fireplace shop since 1918, the vacant structure is now owned by a nonprofit aiming to convert it into housing for homeless veterans — a meaningful step toward community healing, even if the project is still years away from completion.
