Originally built in 1911, the Decorette Building has seen just about every boom and bust that has ever come to Foster Road in Southeast Portland. Now, with the arrival of a new owner and tenant, the old two-story commercial building is getting a much-deserved update to match the recently completed street improvements just outside its doors. The triangular-shaped lot comes to a knife-edge at the street intersection, a focal point that had been a dumpster area for more than 30 years. Now, that same moment will be opened up and revered with new windows and an outdoor seating area for a future cafe tenant. The old steel-barred mid-block entrance will also be removed to make way for a recessed and vastly more inviting storefront with floor-to-ceiling glass and accessible entrances. Inside, the building is being completely renovated with shared amenities, new fixtures and lighting.
