Once the private home of Henry Louis Pittock, founder of The Oregonian newspaper, this 22-room house was built in 1914. The mansion sits 1,000 feet above sea level and commands a view of five mountains in the Cascade Range. It is an outstanding architectural achievement, combining fine plasterwork, cut and polished marbles, cast bronze, and superbly crafted hardwoods and paneling. The house is completely furnished with antique furniture and objets d'art appropriate to its 17th, 18th, and 19th century French and English designs.
