Isam White House

The Isam White House is a Colonial Revival residence featuring symmetrical windows and ornamental cornices on its facades. The building's architectural details represent the refined design approach common in early 20th century Portland homes.

Architects Whidden and Lewis designed and built the house between 1903 and 1904 during Portland's early development boom. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.

The residence reflects early American residential design traditions visible in Portland's Alphabet Historic District today. It represents the building style that shaped the city's affluent neighborhoods during the early 1900s.

The private residence is visible from Northwest 20th Avenue where you can view it from the street. Remember it is an occupied home, so respectful observation from public areas is appropriate.

Architects Whidden and Lewis were influential figures who shaped Portland's built environment through their projects. This residence is one of their significant works that still stands as part of the city's architectural heritage.
