Alexander D. McDougall House

This early twentieth-century residence features Tudor Revival and Arts and Crafts architectural elements, including decorative half-timbering, detailed brickwork, and a verandah set on landscaped grounds covering approximately four-tenths of an acre.

Constructed in 1911 and designed by architect Ellis F. Lawrence, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 18, 1999, recognizing its architectural significance in Portland's residential development.

The residence exemplifies the Arts and Crafts movement through its oak paneling, built-in benches, art glass windows, and emphasis on quality craftsmanship that reflects early twentieth-century design principles and living standards in Portland.

Located on Northwest Thurman Street in the Willamette Heights neighborhood, the house remains a private residence with exterior viewing accessible to the public, though interior tours are limited to special authorized occasions.

The property showcases architect Ellis F. Lawrence's early residential work through its intact design combining multiple architectural styles, rock wall boundaries, and carefully planned siting that maximizes views of the surrounding cityscape and natural landscape.
