As it continues to earn raves reviews from local, national and international media as a top B&B, Portland’s White House is expanding its sphere to become a favorite wedding destination. Owner Frank Groff says that the Oregon luxury venue recently underwent a $1 million renovation that included restoring “every inch” of the historic, 1911 property including its formal ballroom – an ideal spot for receptions. Portland’s White House distinguishes itself from other venues by accommodating small parties of as few as 10 that often are rejected by larger venues. Also, its in-house culinary staff are on hand to organize receptions ranging from simple hors d’oeuvres and Champagne affairs to more elaborate multi-course, sit-down dinners.
Groff and his partner, David Krause, took possession of Portland’s White House in January of last year and went about undertaking the extensive remodel of the main house to restore it to its former glory. Then, earlier this year, remodeled the adjoining carriage house. It total, there are 9 large bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath. In addition, the mansion has a grand foyer distinguished by a hand-painted mural and sweeping staircase that leads to the upstairs bedrooms. Also on the main floor is a living room with grand piano, game room, commercial kitchen, private office and dining room where breakfast is served each morning. Downstairs is the 85-seat ballroom that is an ideal space for wedding rehearsals and receptions.
Portland’s White House is set in an imposing Colonial Revival mansion that was built for an Oregon timber baron, Robert Lytle, who spared no expense on 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.”
