The Barnes Mansion, as it was known to a generation of kids growing up in Beaumont. Yes, an interesting house. Let me do a little digging on this and I’ll post something in the near future about this place. Thanks for asking the question…

Have always been interested in the house at 3533 NE Klickitat. It is listed as the Frank Barnes house, but I seem to remember that was not the first owner. Is there any other information on the history of the owner of this house. Thanks, Heidi

Hi Tony. Sorry to report there is no single collection of old house photos, nor has there been any systematic documentation of Portland's old houses, that would make it easy to answer your question. I've been exactly where you are...trying to find original photos to guide restoration work. I am confident there are pictures of your house somewhere, most likely in private collections of people who have lived there over the years. That's how I found photos of my house and have helped clients find photos of their own homes (in fact I'm working on a project like this right now). I'd point you to the Resources section of this site for some ideas about how and where to begin looking. I'd be glad to offer some coaching advice if you like, or I'd also be glad to take on a little research project if you like. Good luck!

Hi, I’m looking for a photo of my house before the original windows were removed. Do you have any photos of NE 21st Ave near Ridgewood? Thanks Tony

Hello
just stumbled on you. Love it. I do genealogy research and would be glad to do free lookups on Ancestry. I also have a great interest in Alameda History. Also have a small collection of old Alameda Photos.
please pass along my email to those wanted lookups.
