In 1909, several wealthy and civic-minded Portland families decided to build a gracious residence for older Portlanders. The project was led by Anna Lewis Mann, a noted humanitarian who also built the Martha Washington Hotel for Girls and managed the Portland Woman's Union and Childrens Home. They purchased a seven acre parcel in the northwest corner of the Hazel Fern Farm that was being developed into Laurelhurst, and built an elegant English Tudor structure that became known as the Anna Lewis Mann Old Peoples Home or simply the "Mann House". It is located at 1031 NE 33rd Ave, on the west side of NE 33rd and south of NE Sandy, across the street from the modern-day Laurelhurst neighborhood

A blog about Laurelhurst, Portland.
We live in Laurelhurst. We love the quiet streets, the century-old houses, the traditional Portland residential architecture, the mature tree canopy, the sense of place and time. We think this place is worth protecting.
