Portland Row House Tour

August 11, 2017 by clove Leave a Comment

We were in Portland, OR last week, amidst the haze of wildfires and 39 degree C heat, where I snapped a few photos of some interesting row house and small multi-family projects. Most of these buildings are in the Vancouver/Williams Street corridor in northeast Portland. I love the palpable creativity of this city, and find that the mix of old and new adds richness to the city’s character and history.

Love these guys

 

And hello, what’s this?

 

It’s the 3-unit North House by William Kaven Architecture. I love this too.
