- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
