City of Portland - Planning & Development
In his inaugural speech of March 1883, Mayor John W Deering proclaimed that the city should erect a bandstand in Deering Oaks Park and hold frequent concerts during the summer months when the city was full of visitors.
Portland civil engineer William Goodwin completed the bandstand by June, and the popular Chandler's Band performed the first of several concerts to delighted crowds.
