Private Morning Best of Portland City Tour

This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Pittock Mansion, 3229 NW Pittock Dr, Portland, OR 97210-5099

Perched 1,000 feet above the city at the edge of Portland’s largest urban wilderness (Forest Park), the Pittock Mansion is a meticulously preserved architectural landmark that illustrates Portland’s growth from pioneer town to bustling city. This early 20th century French chateau was built by successful newspaper publisher, Henry Pittock and his wife Georgiana in 1914, and occupied by their descendants until 1958. The Pittock Mansion was severely damaged in the 1962 Columbus Day Storm, and then nearly torn down by developers in the 1960’s. Spurred by community activists to preserve the historic home, the City of Portland bought the estate in 1964. Today the mansion is a community landmark and offers one of the best views in town.
