As one of Oregon's first licensed architects, the contributions of Morris H. Whitehouse to the built environment can still be seen throughout the state. Today his work reads like an architectural history book. Whitehouse designed public buildings, private homes, and exotic retreats in almost every popular style from the turn of the twentieth century through his death in 1944. Notable works include the Columbia Gorge Hotel (1921) in Hood River, Temple Beth Israel (1927) in Portland, and the Oregon State Capital Building (1936 - 38) in Salem.  With fifteen properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Whitehouse left a lasting impression on the architectural environment through thoughtful design and an ability to adapt to the ever changing trends of popular fashion.
