the gordon house ...

a painterly version of my original photo taken in april. the C.E. Gordon House, now located in the Oregon Garden near Silverton, was once on a secluded farm on the Willamette River, twenty miles south of Portland. Planned for comfortable and efficient living, the compact house, designed in 1957 by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) for Conrad and Evelyn Gordon, was constructed of concrete block and cedar with generous areas of glazed, transparent wall space that brought natural light and external views to the interior. Through its rescue and relocation, it has become one of the most famous houses in Oregon. The Gordon House is the only building Frank Lloyd Wright designed in Oregon. After deferring construction for six years, Conrad and Evelyn Gordon completed the house in 1964, a few years after Wright’s death. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. source oregonencyclopedia.org prints available. see more at www.footeprintart.com
