Located on Mississippi St., in NE Portland. The front gate is padlocked and bushes, as you can see, cover the view of most of the front of the house now. I’m not sure if tours are conducted or if the house is just closed up. It is on the National Historic Registry.
Perhaps an email inquiry to a Portland newspaper would be well-received as a “tip” about a possible story. The house was open about a year ago and was used as a site of a theater fundraiser. Wonder what happened.
Here’s a link to the National Registry, where you can read a PDF description of the property. This doesn’t tell who the current owner, is, though, and what has happened that the house is closed up. http://nrhp.focus.nps.gov/natregsearchresult.do?fullresult=true&recordid=0

Thanks, Valerie. I’m kind of curious as to what is going on with the house. I guess it was a B&B at one point in time. Now, it just seems neglected.
