Henry and Georgiana Pittock were two of Portland’s most prominent figures, when in 1909, they began work on a 22-room Renaissance revival mansion on the outskirts of the city. Henry was a successful business man and newspaper owner and Georgiana is credited with establishing the city’s beloved Rose Festival.The couple’s rags-to-riches story is one of the most interesting aspects of a visit to their former palatial home, which is now owned by the city and attracts thousands of visitors every year. The opulence of the lavish lifestyle that one of Portland’s most influential families enjoyed has been captured in lovingly restored detail.Admire the majestic beauty of the period décor adorning each room, as well as the antique furnishings and personal effects of the Pittock family. History enthusiasts will marvel at the array of artworks and antiques from the period, many of which were owned by the family. Highlights include Henry Pittock’s ceremonial sword and an 1887 Steinway grand piano, as well as many impressive Tiffany pieces in the silver and glass collection.Perhaps just as impressive as the décor is the architecture of the building. Circular rooms, marble work, ornate plaster and decorative hardwood furnishings all add to the sense of splendour. The design was also quite modern in its day, including an intercom and central vacuum system. For an extra charge, you can take one of the regular tours of the house and the friendly informative guides will fill you in on all the lesser-known history of the Pittocks.Aside from the house, the main attraction of Pittock Mansion is the view across Portland towards Mount Hood and the Cascade Mountains, often described as the best in the city. Georgiana’s love of gardening is also reflected in the beautifully maintained grounds – make sure you take a stroll around on your visit.
