Houses

-A A +A
c. 1910. 614–618 S. Laurel St.

These detached buildings are an interesting variant on one of the Oregon Hill forms, the town house with two-story porches. There are several other examples in the neighborhood of this variant. In some cases the porches provided outdoor access for flats that occupied each floor; in others they were simply an amenity for single-family residences.
