- Description
- The John A. Keating residence is located at 2531 S.W. St. Helens Court, in the West Hills (Portland Heights) in Portland, Oregon, a residential neighborhood in the hills west of downtown Portland. The neighborhood consists of many excellent examples of early 20th Century period architecture built for prominent Portlanders between the turn of the century and the 1930s. The plans are dated 1912, and construction began and was completed in 1913. The Keating Residence was designed by prominent architect Ellis F. Lawrence of the firm Lawrence and Holford. It has a concrete foundation, a nailed wood frame and the exterior walls are clad in wood shingles and there are two massive chimneys. The house is approximately four-thousand square feet, with a full basement and three floors above. It is actually sufficient to call it a one-room deep house, in the English tradition of medieval vernacular houses. It is a very tall, horizontally-spread structure, reflecting the Shingle Style and Arts & Crafts styles. In addition, there are subtle Classical Revival details on all four sides of the structure. It is an asymmetrical, eclectic amalgam of architectural details. The hipped roof structure with jerkinhead gables is set above and back from street level, only partially visible from the street. Character_ defining features include its asymmetry and broad horizontality, the mock thatch roof with rolled eaves, a prominent polygonal two-story bay projection, two eyelid dormers, a painted wood string course across each side, and a large wrap-around terrace offering views to the east and Mt. St. Helens to the north. The house has casement, Simplex, double hung, and awning windows. In the living room, dining room and solarium are tall casement windows, and interior glass-paned flexible doors between the solarium and the hallway. The interior ceilings and walls were always painted. The plain walls with crown molding, open first-floor plan with rooms flowing into one another, and the curved shapes of the solarium and dining rooms, contribute to the unique character of the house. Lawrence showed hints, on the first-floor interior, of early modernism in residential architecture. While several alterations have occurred throughout the years, the only major alteration on the exterior facade is the removal of the two-sided glass-paned entrance porch, for which there is no recorded date. A separate, unattached garage structure on the south side was built in 1952, and removed in the 1970s. There is no recorded date for the removal of the kitchen chimney. The concrete wrap-around porch was resurfaced in 1959. The removal of straight metal supports for the railings of the porch with replacement classical balustrades was in 1999. The house was designed with an internal 1913 vacuum system throughout, which is not utilized now. A kitchen remodel in the 1970s updated the kitchen space but did not change the internal arrangement of any rooms. In 1999 mid-wall height windows to the terrace on the north side of the living room were replaced by full_height glass windows and a glass door. There is no date for the restoration of the lone exterior Doric column of the porch, which is in place where it was originally built. The plan shows a straight west wall (solarium), but no dates exist for the construction of the wall as a curved bay. It could have been a decision made during construction. Despite all of these alterations, the house retains its historic integrity as the house is in its original location and remains of the same design, the setting still relates to the historic period, the character defining features remain intact and reflect the residence's original construction and design of Lawrence's work.

- The Multnomah School is located at 7688 SW Capitol Hwy., roughly five miles southwest of downtown Portland and a quarter-mile east of the Multnomah Village commercial area. The site is approximately six acres, located along SW Capitol Hwy. between SW 31st and SW 34th Aves. The surrounding area to the north, east, and south is predominately residential. To the west is a streetcar-era commercial area in a neighborhood main street setting. The one-story unreinforced masonry Spanish Colonial Revival-style Multnomah School was constructed in 1923 as a permanent replacement for temporary school structures built a decade prior. It is clad in stucco with self-mullioned multilight steel-sash windows and a red clay-tile shed roof at the perimeter. The school consists of classrooms as well as an auditorium and boys' and girls' play areas. In 1925, the play areas were enclosed and became gymnasiums. In 1929, a 5,000 square-foot addition of similar materials and design was built along the east. In the early 1940s, two free-standing classroom structures were added to the campus southwest of the school; six more were added at the west in the late 1940s. In 1979, the school closed. In 1984, it was adapted as a community arts center. The period of significance runs from the construction of the 1923 school building to the completion of the last major school alteration, which was the construction of the cafeteria in 1952. The complex consists of seven contributing resources and two non-contributing. The contributing resources are all buildings and include the main school building with 1925 and 1929 additions as a single functionally-related, interconnected contributing resource. They also include the six one-time portable, now permanent, rectangular classrooms located at the west of the property. Built circa 1940, these classroom buildings are of approximately identical massing, scale, and design. Each structure is 1,200 square-feet, wood-clad with hipped roof and comprising a single room. As for the non-contributing resources, there is one non-contributing building and one non-contributing structure. The one non-contributing building is a pottery shed, which comprises five interconnected structures, including three built outside the period of significance. It is non-contributing due to a lack of integrity. There is also a 4,750 square-foot open steel shed built in 1977, which is a non-contributing structure having been built outside the period of significance. Character-defining landscape features include street setbacks from SW Capitol Hwy. and SW 31st St., as well as adjacent open space to the west and south making up the original site parcel. Though adapted largely for parking, the amount of land and space associated with the property is integral to its significance as a school as it creates a park-like atmosphere reflective of progressive-era school design. Character features for the school include building orientation, building form, exterior cladding, extant steel-sash windows, roof form and materials, interior organization, corridor plaster walls with wood trim, and original corridor ceiling tiles. In addition to the corridors being critical interior features, the auditorium and two gymnasiums are important intact interior spaces and are character-defining as such. The complex retains a very high degree of integrity with no substantial alterations outside the period of significance.

- 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.
