I lived at 3335 N.E. 25th between Fremont and Klickitat from 1940 to 1952. Do you know who built that house. I drove by a few years ago and I am pleased at how the neighborhood has been kept up. I remember most of the people on the street during those years. Any neighbors out there? Rosamonde Bergey

Mr. Birkemeier stopped by our home in the early 90′s and told us this was the first home that he built. He was 27 years old when he built our house. We live in Laurelhurst (829 NE 41st Ave). Our home was built in 1932, an English tudor with a rolled roof and very large picture window. We gave Ken a tour of our home and he was very happy his house has stood the test of time. It was so wonderful to meet him.

Thanks for dropping by the Alameda History blog. I am interested in seeing whatever materials you would wish to share relating to the register listing. Drop me a note at doug@alamedahistory.org or give a call and let’s talk.

I have a lot of information about it (and the original plans) for those who may be interested.

I’ve started the research on Mr. B and should have some news to share soon.

Neat to think that maybe the old house blog has connected a seller and a buyer. Gary and Trish: let me know if it works out!

You asked about what design features I like best/least and what I can tell you is that these are QUALITY homes, well-built, and solid! The curved walls, wonderful woodwork (crown moldings, wood floors, scroll work bannisters) are things you don’t find today. I can’t think of anything I don’t like about these homes.
If you can pass on my email to Gary, we may have a home for him to look at. We are making plans to list our Birkmeier this Spring.
Thanks again for getting the information out on these fantastic homes!

My wife and I are looking at homes in NE Portland to purchase and have been intrigued with the style of these homes. We are looking forward to future informational postings. Thanks for your efforts on this!

Thanks for dropping by the blog. I can see by the interest in Mr. Birkmeier that I better add him to my to-do list. I’ll do some digging this next week and share what I find out here on the blog. In your experience with the Birkmeier houses, what design features do you like best/least?
