Birkameier was an amazing and fastidious builder. Only the wealthiest could afford to buy or commission his work………….. Any home he built, is and was, a precious jewel set amongst many other wonderful homes.

We found a Birkemeier ranch that’s going for more than similar sized homes in the same area. Is that to be expected?

I’ve sent you a copy of the original plumbing permit. Yep, it’s a Birkemeier, built in 1940-1941. Good luck with the offer!

We just put an offer on a house at 2935 Hancock Street in the Grant Park neighborhood. The realtor told us it was a “Birkemeier” which didn’t mean anything at the time but now I am coming to appreciate his role as a building in this area. How can I verify that our new home is, in fact, a Birkemeier?

Thanks!

I’ve been looking for information on the history of Birkmeier style houses for a while. We moved into one in 2003, it’s on Alameda, just East of 33rd. It was built in 1940. I came across your website in last week’s Oregonian. What a pleasant surprise to find this article! Thanks for your good work. Please let me know how to send you a photo of our house. Thanks again!

We stumbled upon the neighborhood (through a Craigslist scam, believe it or not, listing a home for rent for $500, at the top of the ridge). I’m enjoying reading your blog about this architectural treasure trove.
