	Portland’s Pittock Mansion
		The Pittock Mansion, a 1914 Portland masterpiece and one of the West’s great houses, would soon have a date with the wrecking ball.
		Built for pioneer businessman Henry Pittock and his wife, Georgiana, by skilled Oregon craftsmen using mainly Northwest materials like Tenino sandstone from Washington, it was roughed up during a ferocious storm in 1962 and had been on the market since the last Pittock descendant moved out in 1958.
		That the Pittock Mansion today remains one of Portland’s architectural glories would have pleased them, but not more than the fact that although progress is prized in their beloved city, there’s still plenty of room for beauty.
