Portland downtown looking over the east foothills towards Mount Hood. Taken from The Pittock Mansion.
via Wikipedia - The Pittock Mansion is a French Renaissance-style château in the West Hills of Portland, Oregon, United States. The mansion was originally built in 1914 as a private home for London-born Oregonian publisher Henry Pittock and his wife, Georgiana Burton Pittock. It is a 46-room estate built of Tenino Sandstone situated on 46 acres (19 ha) that is now owned by the city’s Bureau of Parks and Recreation and open for touring
If you come to Portland, I hope you find time to enjoy both the history, and open-woods feel that the west hills has on offer. You’ll find it a lovely respite from the city’s downtown activities.
