Houses Around the NW: Inside a 1907 Stone Masterpiece by Architect Alfred Faber

Step inside one of North Portland’s most iconic historic homes — the Temple Residence — designed in 1907 by renowned architect Alfred Faber. Known for his signature stone-block construction, Faber built this architectural gem to rival the professor housing near the University of Portland.

Join me as I tour this well-preserved charmer with local realtor and history buff Harrison Whitmarsh. With only four owners in its 118-year history, this home still boasts its original woodwork (crafted from local N. Portsmouth trees), stunning leaded glass, period switches, and double-hung wood windows.

🏡 Features you’ll love:

· Original floor plan with thoughtful modern upgrades
· Updated plumbing, electrical, and systems
· Pre-wired/plumbed basement & attic for potential ADUs
· Endless street parking + 3-car pad
· Just blocks from the University of Portland

Whether you’re a fan of historic homes, Portland architecture, or looking for a potential investment near the University of Portland, this home is packed with design inspiration and fascinating stories.
