- Description
- Constructed in 1880 for Morris and Annie Marks, the Italianate house known locally as the Fried_-Durkheimer House was moved in 2017 to save it from developmental pressures, which were threatening demolition. Originally constructed between Main and Jefferson on what was then known as Tenth Street (currently 1224 SW 12th Avenue), the house now sits approximately 5 blocks east and 12 blocks south of its original location, at 2177 SW Broadway in Portland, Oregon. In its new location, the building becomes a showcase of the Italianate style, with a full 360-degree view available from the public right-of_-way. The primary facade (historically west-facing, now pointed north), as well as the west and south faces, are largely at grade, as they were historically. An exemplar of an Italianate Town House, the approximately 2,668 gross square foot (gsf) historic building is constructed with balloon framing and sits on a new poured-concrete foundation, which will include an additional 1,319 gsf basement. The residential building features original exterior details that define the Italianate style, including the two-story (now on basement) asymmetrical massing with elaborately ornamented large bay windows; the low_pitched hip roof with overhanging eaves supported by decorative brackets; and tall, narrow windows with segmentally arched upper lights and elaborate frames. Interior details also remain, including the original floor plan, curved hall stair with niche, large pocket doors (two sets), marble fireplace surround, plaster medallions, and wood trim. Exterior alterations to the building were minimal, and simultaneous with the house's relocation some (including nonhistoric roof vaulting and a nonhistoric porch on the south face) were removed to restore original configurations. Interior alterations were also minimal and largely confined to closet spaces, including subdividing the former butler's pantry to create a closet in the dining area and adding a stair to the attic utilizing a portion of the closet space between two of the upstairs chambers. The building has experienced limited physical alterations since its initial construction, fully articulates the design theories of an Italianate Town House, and retains integrity of materials, design, workmanship, feeling, and association.

- Built in 1936-1937, the Cameo Theatre is located at 304 E First Street in the historic City Center/Downtown neighborhood of Newberg, Yamhill County, Oregon. The building is located within a commercial setting surrounded by restaurants, retail stores, and other small businesses. The Cameo Theatre is a two-and-onehalf-story building designed by Day W. Hilborn and Margaret Goodin Fritsch with prominent Art Deco and Streamline Moderne architecture features, such as its smooth concrete exterior walls, asymmetrical facade,geometric lines, grouped windows, and slight vertical projection above the roof line. Other typical Art Deco and Streamline Moderne features displayed on the Cameo Theatre include low-relief decorative panels, horizontal grooves, pigmented structural glass (Carrara glass), and stainless steel trim. The building was constructed by Peter Johnson and the Johnson Construction Company of Vancouver, Washington, out of board-formed reinforced concrete, which extended below grade creating a full-height partial basement. Theprimary (north) facade consists of a recessed entry under a project ing marquee to the west and a recessed storefront bay to the east at the ground floor. The second floor consists of the projecting bay above the primary entrance and a set of vertical windows to the west. Although the primary facade displays two separate entrances, the theatre building is one volume. The remaining elevations, where exposed, are unfinished and lack architectural detail. Although the theatre retains its original exterior configuration and form, alterations have been made to the main entrance, marquee, and storefront. However, much of its original Art Deco and Streamline Moderne architectural details remain present. The interior of the Cameo Theatre is planned around the 350-seat , two-story-volume, German-inspired auditorium with its sloping floor, two-aisle seating arrangement, and interior decorations. In plan, the interior of the theatre consists of the foyer, snack bar, and stairs to the north, the centrally located auditorium, and the proscenium stage and fly tower to the south at the ground floor. The second floor includes the lounge, current projection room (modified from original lounge corridor and usherette room), toilet rooms, and office to the north, and the second-story volume of the auditorium and fly tower to the south. The original projection room and attic are located above the current projection room on the second floor. The basement is below the proscenium stage and fly tower. The interior walls are constructed out of board-formed reinforced concrete and are primarily finished with plaster and stucco by H. G. Gosney of Portland, Oregon. The theatre retains its original paint scheme of light greens, pinks, and reds displayed in the acoustical fabrics, curtains by Charles Ammon Co. of Portland, Oregon, and replaced period-style interior carpet.8 Interior Art Deco and Streamline Moderne stylistic details include curved walls, geometric Art Deco lighting fixtures and signage, low-relief decorative panels , vertical and horizontal semi-cylindrical reeded moulding, and decorative castmetal chair side panels. Although the theatre retains much of its original details and aesthetic, there have been alterations to its interior configuration and seating. Overall, the Cameo Theatre retains integrity of location, setting, design , materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The building remains in its originall location within the downtown Newberg setting, which includes a streetscape and buildings that represent the city's early 20th century infrastructure and business development. The theatre conveys its overall design and retains character-defining materials and features that display the building's construction and workmanship. The theatre's operation under long-term owner Ted Francis and continued use since 1937 convey the building's integrity of feeling and association. Several minor and few moderate alterations to exterior and interior features are noted in the nomination, but these do not inhibit the building's overall integrity or its ability to convey the theatre's historic significance .

- Description
- The circa 1865 Kiernan House is located at 1020 S.W. Cheltenham Court in the Terwilliger Heights neighborhood of southwest Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. The Italian Villa style house was moved to this location from downtown Portland in 1964, and today comprises 2,167 square feet with a 1,365-square-foot finished basement. This one-story, wood-framed building retains many of its original Italian Villa/Italianate features, including flush tongue-and-groove board siding, four-over-four segmental_arched windows, door and window trim, and porch and eave details, and as a result it readily reflects its historic appearance as a rare example of the Italian Villa style. Due to the sloping topography of the lot, the building now has a full-height basement, and was also expanded with a rear addition to the east of the original portion of the dwelling soon after the relocation. Included within the nominated area, which consists of the entirety of the .31-acre tax lot, are three newer non-contributing features (a gazebo, small garden shed, and greenhouse). Although the building has been relocated and shows several alterations, including historic (circa 1885) and non-historic (1964-66 and 2000) additions, and some interior changes, it retains nearly all of the character-defining elements of its circa 1865 to circa 1885 period of significance. Because the Kiernan House was moved in 1964, its integrity of location and setting has been compromised, but the change of venue does not negatively affect the building's ability to convey its architectural period and style, or its historic appearance, and thus its architectural significance remains clearly evident.
