Pipes Family House
The Pipes Family Residence, constructed in 1910, is located at 3045 NE Ninth Avenue in the historic Irvington Neighborhood of Portland. The building is a two-and-one-half story, wood frame Arts and Crafts style home with rough-cast stucco on the first story and wood shingles on the upper stories. The main roof is hipped, although it is foreshortened on the south side to a hip over a double gable. The north side of the roof has a large hipped gable. The east, or front, has a small front facing cross-gable with a parapeted roof, and a triangular dormer. The primary entrance of the house is nearly centered on the main body, and is shaded by a pergola, while a small recessed porch with arched openings is located in the southeast corner of the first story. A one-story, hipped roof addition, a flat roof sun-room, and an open porch extend from the south elevation of the main block. This is the addition designed by Wade Hampton Pipes. The interior details of the house are refined Arts and Crafts style, and largely intact. The house is set on a 100 by 100 foot lot at the corner of Ninth Avenue and Siskiyou Street. It is located in the northwest part of Irvington, one block south of Irving Park. It is one of the largest and most architecturally unique houses in this part of Irvington, retaining a very high degree of integrity. - NRHP, 5 December 2005
