Loewenberg Mansion

2 wonderful views of the lost Leowenberg Mansion formerly on SW Park Place by Washington Park. The largest home in Portland when it was built in 1891. The architect was Isaac Hodgson Jr. The home was donated to the Oregon Historical Society in 1951 who in turn sold it to a corporation that razed it in 1960. No wonder so many people don't get along with the OHS!

Mansard roof mansion with greenhouse

This is one of those rare photos where there's just so much awesomeness going on you don't know where to look first! I wish I knew where this was. The cabinet photo was purchased in Salem, OR.

Craftsman home of Ivan Wells

Wonderful early view of a newly completed Craftsman home. Said to have been built by C.W. Knowles

Spectacular unknown Stick Style Victorian home

I just love these images of people in front of their house. The architecture is simple but there is a lot of detail in there. From the porch details to the stone foundation this photo has it all.

Court House in San Rafael California

Wonderful view of the original court house. I was unable to determine if this structure remains today but I have a feeling it is no longer around. I was able to find some images of the building in later years where it had lost the tower.

Draftsman's studio with Alonzo Finch

Wonderful early view of an architects, engineers, or draftsman's office. The man on the stool is identified as Alonzo Finch. Not sure who he is.

Large Victorian home and yard

This image is most likely Virginia or Maryland given the location I purchased it in. Nice real photo post card.
