Portland’s Historic Icon – An Inspiration for the Future!
Built in 1914, Pittock Mansion tells the story of Portland’s transformation from a pioneer stump town to a modern, industrialized city through the history and legacy of one of its most influential families. A “must-see” destination in Portland, the mansion is a 16,000-square-foot French Renaissance Chateau with 23 beautifully furnished rooms and a grand circular marble staircase. Built by Henry Pittock, the publisher of the Oregonian newspaper and an early entrepreneur, the mansion is an architectural marvel known for technological innovations of its day, including the original working elevator. Visitors can enjoy a self-guided tour of the mansion and the estate keeper’s home, as well as walk the beautiful grounds that lead up to the Pittock viewpoint, which offers stunning views of Mt. Hood and downtown Portland.
The buildings and grounds are owned by the City of Portland, Parks and Recreation. Pittock Mansion Society operates the premises as a cultural destination.
The mission of Pittock Mansion Society is to inspire understanding and stewardship of Portland history through the mansion, its collection, stories snd programs.
The organization is at an exciting juncture of reimagination and growth with the new vision, Pittock 2.0.
