- 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.
