John Tigard House, Historic house museum in Tigard, United States.
Description
The John Tigard House is a wooden residence built in 1880 with one-and-a-half stories and Queen Anne architectural details combined with Carpenter Gothic elements. The structure features an attic space and represents early domestic architecture in the region.
History
Wilson Tigard built the house in 1880 for his son John, and the family retained ownership for more than 60 years. The transfer to new owners in 1946 ended the family era and marked a transition in the property's history.
Culture
The home displays how families lived in early Tigard through original furnishings in the parlor and household items from the 1900s in the kitchen. These objects reveal the daily routines of the family that cared for the residence across generations.
Practical
The house opens during five annual events, including celebrations and holiday gatherings. Group tours are available by advance reservation for visitors planning a larger visit.
Did you know?
The house was saved from demolition in 1979 when residents relocated it to its current site and restored it to its original appearance. The move removed all modern additions and gave the building a second chance at survival.
