The Portland architect Pietro Belluschi (1899-1994) designed this residence for his family in the mid-1930s. It demonstrated his interest in Japanese architecture, seen clearly in the hipped and gabled roof-line. Japanese architecture had influenced other young Modern architects on the West Coast who began to rediscover it during the 1930s. Two of the most heavily-published, Japanese-influenced houses were done by Harwell Hamilton Harris (1903-1990), his influential Pauline Lowe House, Altadena, CA, (1934) and his own Fellowship Park House (1935), a minimal design he which he shared with his wife, Jean Murray Bangs (d. 1986).
