Hide Profile

Beginning in 1949 at age eleven, Robert O. Brown began collecting information on early Portland neighborhoods and their architecture and drew detailed drawings of Portland buildings and residences. As a delivery boy for the Oregonian, Brown became concerned with the destruction and remodeling of Victorian-style houses and began to document them. Many of these structures have since been destroyed.
