Spend an Afternoon at the H. Russell Albee House – an A.E. Doyle Masterpiece
December 11, 2011 |
Give yourself a gift this holiday season with a tour and reception at one of Southeast Portland’s most significant historic homes. Designed by notable Portland architect A.E. Doyle, the house was built in 1912 for then-mayor H. Russell Albee. Albee played an influential role in progressive era politics and the development of Portland’s park system. Located adjacent to Laurelhurst Park, this Georgian mansion has been very well maintained and retains many original details, including fine woodwork, and stained glass by the Povey Brothers. Please join us for a self guided tour of the home, along with light refreshments.Philip Niles, historian and author of Beauty of the City: A.E. Doyle, Portland’s Architect will give a short presentation on Doyle, and local historian Janice Dilg project director for Century of Action: Oregon Women Vote, 1912–2012 will discuss Albee and his role in shaping the Portland of the 1910s and beyond.
