The Loomis Residence is significant architecturally as the only example of a Mediterranean Style residence in Hood River, Oregon. The finely crafted home is located at 1100 State Street and was designed for the wealthy New York family Robert and Mabel Loomis by architect Percy D Bentley in 1937. The residence is distinctive in its setting against the backdrop of the Columbia River Gorge. The two story Mediterranean Style building displays many characteristics of the style in its low-pitched hip roof, asymmetrical shape, stucco wall surface, casement windows set in flat arches, finely crafted wrought-iron railing and balcony and French doors. The asymmetry of the interior of the residence presents an unusual floor plan. Details such as leaded glass French doors leading into the dining and living room, colonial inspired fireplace, handcrafted light fixtures, beautiful wrought-iron stair balustrade, and multiple colorfully tiled bathrooms make the Loomis Residence an exemplary Mediterranean Style building in the community of Hood River. The residence is in excellent condition with minor alterations on the exterior and interior. - NRHP, 15 September 1990
