Simon Benson House, Queen Anne style residence in Portland, Oregon.

The Simon Benson House is a wood-frame house in the Queen Anne style, built in 1900, now standing at SW Park and Montgomery Street on the Portland State University campus. It was originally at SW 11th and Clay Avenue and was moved to its present site in 2000.

Built in 1900, the house was owned by Norwegian immigrant Simon Benson, who later became known for founding a polytechnic school and donating public drinking fountains to Portland. Benson's contributions shaped the city's educational and public health infrastructure.

The house is named for Simon Benson, the Norwegian immigrant who had it built in 1900 and whose name also marks Benson Polytechnic High School and the bronze Benson Bubblers downtown. After the family left in 1913 it served as a boarding house, then apartments, before Portland State University moved it to campus in 2000.

The house is located on Portland State University campus and functions as a meeting space and visitor center. Access to the building may vary depending on university events and activities, so it is best to check ahead before visiting.

The entire structure was relocated from its original location to its current position on campus in 2000, marking one of Portland's most ambitious preservation efforts. This move allowed the building to survive and continue serving the community in a new context.
