Envoy Apartment Building

The Envoy Apartment Building is a Mediterranean Revival multi-family residential structure in Portland, Oregon. Its exterior features stucco walls, tile roofs, arched windows, wrought iron balconies, and ornamental moldings.

Architect Carl L. Linde designed this residence in 1929 during Portland's period of major urban expansion. The building came to represent the residential growth that defined that era of the city.

The building shows how Portland's housing evolved from single-family homes to multi-unit complexes. This shift shaped the character of neighborhoods across the city.

The building sits in an established residential neighborhood of Portland accessible by public transportation. Keep in mind that this is private housing and can only be viewed from the street.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, marking its importance to Portland's interwar architectural heritage. Its 2004 conversion to condominiums preserved the original exterior while adapting the interior to contemporary living.
