Pittock Mansion

The Pittock Mansion is a French Renaissance-style château in the West Hills of Portland, Oregon, United States.

It is a 46-room estate built of Tenino sandstone situated on 46 acres (19 ha) that is now owned by the city's Bureau of Parks and Recreation and open for touring.

[2] Modeled after Beaux Arts and French Renaissance architecture, the mansion is situated on an expanse in the West Hills that provides panoramic views of Downtown Portland.

[1] Upon completion, the home featured such luxuries as a central vacuum system, intercoms, indirect lighting, an elevator, and a walk-in refrigerator.

The incident contributed to a longstanding feud between Pittock's paper and Daly which ultimately led to the end of the councilman's political career.

[10] Seeing this popular support, and agreeing that the house had tremendous value as a unique historic resource, the City of Portland purchased the estate in 1964 for $225,000.

[16] The mansion was visited during the premiere of the seventeenth season of the Dutch reality show Wie is de Mol?

In the series, Forest Park is imagined as a magical realm, with Pittock Mansion serving as its seat of government.
