Pittock Mansion

Hi All,

This beautiful 1914 building was the home of the Pittock family. Mr Pittock was a wealthy Portland businessman and the house is on a hill overlooking Portland and Mt Hood beyond.

The house had many "modern" features including room thermostats, an intercom system, a walk in fridge and the most complicated shower we have ever seen. It also has a backup gas lighting system on case the electricity failed.

Soon after the last Pittock descendant moved out in the mid 60's, it was purchased by the city.

Love 
Sandy & Carl
