P
ortland’s Victorian era, dominated by Queen Anne, Eastlake Stick, and Italianate styles, flourished during Queen Victoria’s reign (1837‑1901). These multistory houses feature turrets, bay windows, steep roofs, and wrap‑around porches with spindlework, brackets, and ornate cornices. Exteriors are often decorated with fish‑scale, scallop, or sunburst siding and painted in multiple colors to highlight details. Many of these homes were lost to redevelopment, freeway construction, economic decline, and neglect, but a handful still stand and are now on the market.
