Note
Image caption provides the historic address: 617 Salmon Street. Portland Daily Abstracts (06/02/1909, (06/04/1909)) cites Emil Schacht as the architect of a 2-story Colonial style house with six 2-story columns, with current address, Southwest 20th Avenue, corner of Southwest Salmon Street. The book Classic Houses of Portland, Oregon 1850-1950 (Timber Press, 1999) attributes Whidden and Lewis (architectural firm) as the architects of the Nahum A. King House, northwest corner of Salmon Street and 20th Avenue, with the date c. 1904.
