Kendra Jacobson is a second-year student in the Historic Preservation and Restoration program at Clatsop Community College in Astoria. She entered the program mid-career, inspired by a long-standing interest in architecture from a sociological perspective—specifically, how homes functioned in the past and how they can be used most efficiently today. Kendra initially enrolled to gain the skills needed to restore her own 140-year-old Victorian home. However, the program sparked a broader passion for all aspects of restoration. She is particularly drawn to the craftsmanship and design details found in historic homes and is committed to preserving their integrity through thoughtful and informed restoration practices. A frequent detour-taker on road trips, Kendra rarely passes up the opportunity to explore historic neighborhoods and buildings. Beyond restoration, she is an award-winning short-form documentary filmmaker whose work highlights people, places, and things from the past that inspire and entertain. She has also worked as a project manager for the last twenty years.

In addition to serving as a Broker at Coldwell Banker Bain, Corinne combines her passions for history and photography by creating content on her Instagram & Facebook pages, @iloveoldbuildings. She documents old buildings that catch her eye, at home and on her wandering travels. Corinne loves learning about history and sharing stories that weave historical information into scenes in the modern era. After graduating from the University of Oregon with degrees in History and Ethnic Studies, she has worked in fields including photography and real estate. Corinne has lived in Portland for many years, and loves helping people buy and sell the beautiful and historic homes of the area.
