The history of a house for sale is important. Not only does a new owner want to understand the ups and downs and updates of a structure over time, but knowing the provenance — who designed it — adds another layer of interest and possibly cachet if a celebrated architect was involved. Overall, architects design a fraction of homes. Even custom-built residences are more often based on existing plans than original ones. Portland has an advantage: Architects showed up in the young city and went to work introducing European revival styles as well as Craftsman and modern homes.
