- Description
- The Elmer and Linnie Miller house is a 2 and 1/2 story Queen Anne style residence, located at 89 NE Thompson Street in the Eliot neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. The 1896 house occupies a footprint of approximately 3,403 square feet (not including basement or attic) on its 7,000 square foot corner lot. The house has a brick foundation and is wood-framed. It features a steeply pitched hipped roof with multiple dormers and an exuberant corner turret, and occupies a slightly larger lot than most of its neighbors on the block. The house exhibits the character-defining features of the Queen Anne style including an asymmetrical plan with multiple bays and extensions; an octagonal turret with steeply pitched roof; tall, gabled dormers at front and sides over protruding polygonal bays; double-hung one-over-one wood windows; brick chimney with corbeled top; and an elaborately asymmetrical wrap-around porch featuring a circular end around the tower and an angled extension at the other front corner, with single and paired Doric columns on square bases. Also indicative of the Queen Anne style are a bracketed polygonal bay, paired main entrance doors with an art glass transom, and the use of drop siding and fishscale shingles at the exterior. At the interior, original features include dark-stained wood stair paneling and highly decorative spindlework stair railing, pocket and five-panel doors with ornate hardware, coved plaster ceilings, a tile-front fireplace with decorative wood surround, highly detailed door and window casings and other wood trim and built-in cabinetry. Overall, the house retains a high level of integrity. The rear of the house (north side) has been extended slightly and expanded from one story to two in several successive steps, the first of which occurred sometime before 1909. No other significant alterations have been made to the exterior of the house, and interior changes have been minimal, and so, despite these few changes, the Miller house retains its historic integrity.

- Description
- Constructed in two distinct phases in 1911, the Fountain Place Apartments were originally named the Wheeldon Annex. The building occupies a quarter-block lot in downtown Portland, Oregon, at the corner of SW Salmon Street and SW 10th Avenue. The Wheeldon Annex is one of the earliest surviving examples of a U-shaped residential apartment/hotel in downtown Portland. It is a 5-story, 45,580-square foot brick structure with intact Italian Renaissance Revival features, such as a decorative bracketed cornice, a buff brick body with corbeled details and rusticated base, and an upper level treated as a paneled frieze. Character-defining wood double-hung multi-pane windows have been retained throughout and appear to be well maintained. Alterations to the exterior have been quite minimal, and include the abandonment and alteration of the door on the Salmon Street facade of the west wing; the alteration of the main door, steps and railing; the removal of some decorative brick elements in the courtyard; and the alteration of some windows. The interior of the Wheeldon Annex has good integrity; although many of the eighty units have been altered or divided, the general layout with U-shaped double-loaded corridors at every floor remains, and many units still contain at least some original features, materials, and layouts. These include primary rooms with original oak flooring and in some cases, the original built-in furniture with pull-out beds and fold-down desks; kitchens with wood cabinetry and trim; and bathrooms with claw_foot tubs and built-in ventilation and cabinetry. While many units have been divided, the alterations (primarily in the mid-1930s but continuing into the 1990s) have generally left original features in place. The building therefore overall retains a high level of integrity.
