Morris Marks House, Italianate residential structure in Goose Hollow, Portland, US.
The Morris Marks House exhibits decorative brackets under the eaves, tall windows, and traditional architectural elements of the 1880s Portland construction period.
Built in 1880 for Polish shoe merchant Morris Marks, the residence underwent multiple relocations before settling at its current address of 2177 SW Broadway.
The house represents a period when Portland merchants demonstrated their success through elaborate residences designed by prominent architects like Warren Heywood Williams.
The structure maintains its original exterior features and serves as an educational resource for understanding 19th-century residential construction techniques.
The house survived numerous demolition threats between 2003 and 2017 before preservationists Karen Karlsson and Rick Michaelson secured its future through relocation.
