RESCUING AN 1880 OREGON ITALIANATE
The Quest: Saving an Imperiled Resource
Morris Marks House/Portland, OR (1880)
Designed by Architect Warren Williams, the magnificent Morris Marks House located at 1134 SW 12th Avenue, remains one of the last of the great Italianate-style residences remaining in Portland’s downtown core. Dwarfed by surrounding infill development and severely detached from any original context, the Morris Marks House is doomed to demolition and must be removed from its current location in 2011 or it will be lost.
