Sam Brown House, Neoclassical house in Gervais, United States.
The Sam Brown House features a two-story portico with symmetrical wings, constructed according to specifications that reflect classical Greek and Roman design elements.
Samuel Brown, who built the house between 1856 and 1857, mined 62 pounds of gold in California before settling in Oregon and becoming a state senator.
The property operated as a stage stop on the Oregon-California line, facilitating transportation and commerce between the two regions during the 19th century.
Located at 12878 Portland Road NE, the house stands on private property and currently shows signs of deterioration with cracked windows and peeling paint.
The architectural plans for this residence were the first ever created by an architect in Oregon, marking a significant development in the state's construction history.
