The Pittock Mansion in Portland, Oregon. The placard reads: This estate was the home of Oregon Trail pioneers Henry and Georgiana Pittock. Best known as the owner of The Oregonian, Henry remained at the paper's helm from 1860 until his death in 1919. His wide ranging investments made him very wealthy. A vigorous man, he began planning this mansion in 1909, at the age of 73. It was completed in 1914, and three generations of Pittocks occupied the home until 1958. After members of the Pittock family moved out, the mansion fell into disrepair. It was saved from demolition when the citizens of Portland raised the $225,000 purchase price. Opened the public in 1965 by Portland Parks & Recreation, Pittock Mansion operates with the generous support of Pittock Mansion Society.
