BOYS’ FORT will construct itself in late fall, 2011, in downtown Portland, Oregon. Since the dawn of the industrial age, men have lived their lives with utility, simplicity and ability. This can never be lost! With help from local artists and craftspeople, we intend to bring the heroes of our past into the man of tomorrow.
