- Description
- The Goldsmith house at 1507 NW 24th Avenue, Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon , was built in 1892 as the primary residence for Bernard and Emma Goldsmith. Designed by architect Edgar Marks Lazarus, it exemplifies the distinctive characteristics of the Shingle Style in Portland, as well as the evolution of Lazarus' residential work. The house is on a topographic rise on the corner of an urban block, with the primary elevation and entry facing NW 24th Avenue and the secondary street-facing elevation fronting NW Quimby. As is common in the neighborhood, streets were cut below grade, leaving the house site elevated above the street. The house contains approximately 4,800 finished square feet excluding the exterior porches, with living spaces on the first floor , sleeping rooms on the second floor, a finished attic, and a partially below-grade full basement. The house is sided primarily with four-inch, lap siding, with shingle patterns used to accentuate the street-facing front and side facades above the porch roof level. The lancet window, belcast hip roof, and decorative round-headed front porch gable vents are all signature architectural details used by Lazarus in the stately homes he designed in the 1890s. Overall the house retains a high degree of integrity, despite an effort to demolish it that resulted in the loss of some interior finishes. The current owner has restored the exterior and rehabilitated the interior, preserving key spaces on the first floor and restoring and replicating interior detailing where known.

- The Charles 0. and Carie C. Blakely House located at 2203 SE Pine Street is a two-story wood frame Queen Anne-style residence located in the northeast corner of the Buckman neighborhood of inner southeast Portland. The ground area of the Blakely House is 1234 square feet, with approximately 2000 square feet of living area above grade, and 300 square feet of finished basement. The setting is a turn-of_the-twentieth century residential neighborhood with hard surface streets, concrete curb and gutter, and concrete sidewalks. The tree canopy and landscaping with shrubs and flowers are typical of an older Portland neighborhood. The Blakely House was built c.1893 and displays many of the typical massing and decorative elements of the late Victorian-era Queen Anne style, including windows with colored multi_pane borders. There are several vertical and horizontal details that are representative of the Stick style as well, such as the vertical and horizontal trim boards and decorative panels surrounding the windows and doors. However, an outstanding aspect of the Blakely House is the angular butterfly design on the prominent facade facing the southwest. A butterfly plan is a type of architectural plan in which two or more wings of a house are constructed at an angle to the core, usually at approximately ninety degrees to the wall of the core building. It was used primarily in late Victorian architecture and during the early Arts and Crafts movement. The L-shaped butterfly massing creates a symmetrical appearance that is accentuated by the nearly cubic form of the footprint. The two-story hip roof mass is intersected by three gables oriented to the west, southwest, and south. The placement of the three gables adds to the symmetry of the structure. The butterfly footprint, cubic massing, and symmetrically placed gables all create a distinctive appearance that is unusual for Queen Anne-style houses. These elements clearly distinguish the Blakely House from all other Queen Anne-style houses in the area. Numerous alterations to the interior of the residence were made when the house was converted to a duplex in 1927, a seven-unit apartment in 1984, and a triplex in 1994. Despite these major alterations, the Blakely House retains its character defining features such as the windows with colored multi-pane borders, bargeboard, and the butterfly design and remains an outstanding and unique example of Queen Anne architecture.
