- Note
- The C.J. Livingston House, located at 407 NW Albemarle Terrace on a steeply sloped site is legally described as Lot 9, Block 28, Kings Heights & RPLT, Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. The property is a two-story wood-framed structure clad in horizontal lap cedar siding over a reinforced-concrete basement with a painted exterior finish and Colonial Revival-influenced decorative elements. The building was designed by noted Portland architect Carl Linde for home owner C.J. Livingston. Built over the winter of 1937 to 1938, the design reflects Linde’s evolution to modernism late in his career and a move away from more traditional period styles of the time. The residence contains a mix of elements of more traditional period revival styles, such as the presence of some Colonial Revival ornamentation, and also modernism, with a more utilitarian, rather than purely stylistic, appearance. The asymmetrical front facade, arched-entry portal, and the presence of a tower design clearly represent the architectural elements associated with Linde. Its exterior and interior both retain a high degree of original fabric in very good condition.
