Building Details (Santa Lucia—2934 SE Morrison,
Portland, Oregon): The original building was built in 1908 as a 4-plex (2 up, 2 down), had gas lights, a speaking tube and dumbwaiters. In 1927 the building was remodeled with units split in half (2 studios and 6 one-bedrooms), electrified, and the front porch enclosed. In early
2003, following architectural plans of Ken Moholt-Siebert, and
after abatement
and much demolition, new construction began.
Reconfigured back porches and new back stairs were constructed;
window boxes, eave brackets and a trellis were added to the front
façade; an essentially new basement was built with radiant
floor heat in the slab. Click
