- Description
- The Daniel C. and Katie A. McDonald House is a two-story single-family home located at 2944 NE Couch Street in Portland's Kerns neighborhood. The house has a footprint of approximately 1,100 square feet on its 50-foot by 100-foot lot and is surrounded by lawn and low plantings. Most of the immediately adjacent buildings are single-family homes of a similar scale and character. The building features a gable-front roof with a cross gable on the east and a gable extension on the west. The body of the building is clad in lap siding at the ground-floor level and shingles at the second-floor level. Its primary window type is a one-over-one double-hung wood window. The house is characteristic of the free classic Queen Anne style and is notable for its eclectic mix of decorative details. These include filigree scrollwork within the gable peak and at the two bay windows, a small oriel window with Tudor_ style leaded glazing, a Palladian window at the east elevation with leaded glass sidelights, two round_ arch window reveals within the front gable, and pairs of slender Tuscan columns flanking the front porch. Having twelve rooms total, the interior of the house features a large reception hall with an elaborate paneled staircase. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are arranged longitudinally along the west side of the house. There are four bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs accessed from a central hall off the stair landing. Overall, the house retains a high level of integrity. The most notable changes included converting the basement into an apartment, remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms, and the small second-floor addition on the south elevation.
