Historical Information
This community center is the site of the former Eliot Grade School. After the school was relocated, PP&R took it over in 1950 and remodeled the building, naming it the Knott Street Community Center. In the late 1960s, the local community lobbied to name the center after Matt Dishman, the first African-American Multnomah County sheriff and police officer in the city of Portland.
Installed on the lawn in front of the center, is a pavilion sculpted by Jon Gierlich in 1996, aptly titled Angle of Repose.
