If you're building your "Things to do in Portland" list, visiting Pittock Mansion should be one of them. Whether or not you go in for a tour, visit Pittock Mansion to take in the views of the Portland skyline. On a clear day, you will catch a glimpse at all three (3) of the major mountains in the distance. You... more

Architecture fans will love the interiors and exteriors of this 1914 Mansion. From bronzed silver leaf ceilings to ornate door hardware, this building offers many pleasures. Built ins and furnishings fit like a glove. This is one of the best restored and maintained mansions that I have ever been in. It is a joy. Like antique kitchens? It is less... more

I enjoyed my visit but I wish I had booked a tour to really understand the history and details of the Mansion. The architecture is lovely. The plumbing is very interesting. There's marble and beautiful wood. The property also overlooks Portland from high up in the West Hills. The view is phenomenal and they keep the lawn beautifully. I look... more

Loved it!

This house was really beautiful. Often houses like this are ostentatious, but this one was not. It was nicely done, and the views inside and out were stellar. The grounds were very nice, as well. Wished we could have had a guided tour, but otherwise no complaints. Make sure you visit the gate house a little below and next to... more

We drove up to the mansion for sunset. The building itself was closed by then, but still very impressive to see from the grounds. But the real treat for us was the views from the edge of the property. Spectacular views of the Portland skyline from several vantage points, with Mt Hood in the distance. Reminded us of seeing San... more

Overview: This is a historic building in Portland that was completed in 1914. It shows the architecture, and styles that were present and popular at the time for housing. Also, the mansion makes use of a lot of new technologies that were starting to show up in this time period. These include an elevator, dumbwaiter, electric lighing, refrigeration, and more.... more

We visited the Pittock Mansion in November before the holiday season got underway. The drive up to the mansion is a bit surreal as you're passing through a regular subdivision-type neighborhood, and it seems out-of-place when you're planning to visit an old, historic structure. The mansion itself is absolutely breathtaking, we visited on an overcast, misty day and it added... more

Although not easily accessible by public transportation, this former home of newspaper publisher, Pittock is definitely worth visiting. It has a very special marble staircase, fine paintings by Thomas Hill and Worthington Whittredge, and fine views of verdant Portland from its windows. The grounds of the Pittock Mansion have superb floral displays. The staff of this mansion also taught me... more

Very interesting and informative. We had a guided tour--which was wonderful. I highly recommend taking the guided tour if it is being offered. This took approximately hour.. You learn so much about the family that lived here and the home. Also, if you want to pack a picnic lunch you can eat lunch on the grounds (i am pretty sure... more

Time slows when you get to the Pittock Mansion and step back to experience a turn of last century home and life style. The restored mansion, grounds and gatekeeper's lodge have been done to portray the character of the era. The furniture and household items are all period pieces. Interwoven with the views of the era is the personal story... more
