[Hist_Pres] Recent Listing in the National Register of Historic Places

[Cara Kaser]

The Oregon State Historic Preservation Office is pleased to announce the
recent listings of the Joseph Jacobberger Country House in the National
Register of Historic Places.

Jacobberger, Joseph, Country House
Portland, Multnomah Co.
NR# 10001171
LISTED, 01/24/2011

The Joseph Jacobberger Country House was the last residence of
prominent Portland architect Joseph Jacobberger. Nominated to the
National Register for its important association with Jacobberger, the
house was designed by Jacobberger in 1916 and he lived there during the
most prolific period of his career until his death in 1930. While living
in the Country House, Jacobberger designed over 250 residential,
commercial, and institutional buildings in Oregon and Washington,
solidifying his position as one of Oregon’s great architects. The Arts
and Crafts style house has excellent physical integrity and reflects the
period when Jacobberger lived in the house and his prominence as an
architect during the early twentieth century.

Oregon’s State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation
recommended the building’s nomination in October 2010. Over 550
historic Portland properties are now listed in the National Register,
which is maintained by the National Park Service under the authority of
the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.
