The Sellwood SMILE Station
The SMILE Station is a local venue ideal for receptions and community meetings. You can visit the SMILE Station website here. Built in 1926, it was originally a firehouse and later remodeled to serve the community’s needs. SMILE Station serves as the SMILE (Sellwood-Moreland Improvement League) headquarters, and hosts many community meetings and private events.
The SMILE Station is available for rent for celebrations, meetings, retreats and concerts. It is an affordable, first class facility that offers a vintage interior with landscaped grounds, a baby grand piano, fireplace, commercial kitchen, round table seating for 60 with capacity for 100 and is handicapped accessible
