PORTLAND, Ore. – Three months after the demolition of a 90-year-old home in the Alameda neighborhood of Northeast Portland, its replacement house has begun to take shape.

The former house was built in 1925 and sat on a 6,643-square-foot lot. As reported by the Portland Chronicle in May, the property sold to Cara Frey and Jennifer K. T. Warner in 2013 for $506,000.

On March 25 the city received an application for demolition of the 90-year-old house. The permit was issued the same day, as one replacement house was planned and this demolition application was received prior to new code ordinances taking effect.

Shortly before the demolition application was submitted the city received an application for new construction of a two-story house with a tuck-under garage. The applicant was listed as Michael Leckie of Campos Leckie Studio, registered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

As this publication previously reported, a rendering had appeared on Campos Leckie Studio’s website, displaying a proposed design for the new construction. It has since been removed.

The demolition took place in May. An article on AlamedaHistory.org includes photos of the demolition in progress as well as some history of the demolished house built in 1925.
