Morris Marks House, Italianate residential structure in Goose Hollow, Portland, US.

The Morris Marks House is a two-story Italianate house designed by Portland architect Warren Heywood Williams and built in 1882 for Morris Marks, a shoe merchant of Polish descent. It stands at 1501 S.W. Harrison Street in the Goose Hollow neighborhood, southwest of downtown Portland, after being moved there from S.W. 11th Avenue and Clay Street in the early 1900s.

Designed by Portland architect Warren Heywood Williams in the Italianate style, the house was built in 1882 for Morris Marks, a shoe merchant of Polish descent. It first stood at S.W. 11th Avenue and Clay Street and was moved in the early 1900s to 1501 S.W. Harrison Street, where it remains. Marks had earlier owned a smaller Italianate house by Williams, built in 1880 at 1134 S.W. 12th Avenue.

The house shows how successful merchants in 19th-century Portland displayed their wealth through carefully designed homes in fashionable neighborhoods. These residences reflected the status and business success of their owners in the growing city.

The house is located in a residential neighborhood and can be easily viewed from the street. The area is accessible by public transportation and walkable for exploring the surrounding streets.

Morris Marks first owned a smaller Italianate house, also by Warren Heywood Williams, built in 1880 at 1134 S.W. 12th Avenue. In 2017 that house was cut in half and moved to a small lot at S.W. Broadway and Grant; it sits vacant and boarded-up and is not on the National Register.
