I’m a sucker for a nice mansion. Always fun to see how the other half lives.
This restored French Renaissance mansion was saved from demolition by the people of Portland. It was built in 1914 by Henry Pittock, founder of The Daily Oregonian newspaper. The mansion sits almost 1,000 feet above the city and has spectacular views of what is now downtown Portland, the Willamette River, and five distant mountains (including Mt. Hood).
