"The same area 29 years later. Had it survived, the Crosby house would have been on the right side of Dan’s previous post.

Per: “Classic houses of Portland Oregon 1850-1950″ The Crosby house was one of the only two plastered interiors in Portland at the time it was built (lime for plaster had to come from the Hawiian Islands). The framing lumber was milled locally but all the finish materials, trim and siding were shipped from the east coast. I believe the building cost was around $17,000. Several hundred thousand in todays currency.
