Portland’s White House is set in an imposing 1910 Colonial Revival mansion that was built for an Oregon timber baron, Robert Lytle, who spared no expense in its construction. He made it fireproof with metal lath and plaster and tile roofs then carefully installed the very best materials, including Povey Bros. stained glass, known as “The Tiffany of the Northwest.”
