Located at 6111 N Concord Ave., the 1912 house had totaled 864 square feet in size on a 3,780-square-foot lot.
In September 2014 it sold for $190,000, which was the same price it had previously sold for in 2007, to Green Canopy Homes, a home-building company that works in Seattle and Portland.
As reported by the Portland Chronicle earlier this year, in January the developer applied for demolition of the 103-year-old home, a lot partition of the 3,780-square-foot property and construction of a new two-unit townhouse building that would be three stories tall and would not include a garage for either unit, although each unit would include a “bike shed.”
That structure has taken shape on the site.

The property is zoned R1 and is part of the North Interstate Plan District due to its proximity to the busy street with MAX connections.
The demolished house was also located in a design overlay district, which promotes the conservation, enhancement, and continued vitality of areas of the City with special scenic, architectural, or cultural value,” according to the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability.
