Whidden–Kerr House and Garden
Whidden–Kerr House and Garden, Prairie School villa in Multnomah County, United States.
The Whidden-Kerr House features horizontal architectural lines and integrates naturally with its surrounding landscape overlooking the Willamette River in Oregon.
William M. Whidden designed and constructed this residence in 1901, which remained in the Kerr family ownership from 1911 until 1987.
The property exemplifies the Prairie School architectural movement of the early twentieth century through its design principles and structural elements.
The estate encompasses 1.19 acres of land and includes a carriage house that currently functions as a garage for vehicle storage.
The formal gardens, expanded by Thomas Kerr Sr. and Mabel Macleay, complement the architectural design and river views of this National Register property.
