PORTLAND, Ore. – A 113-year-old home in the King neighborhood is waiting out a demolition delay period, and will likely be replaced by multiple new residences.

The house, located at 3959 NE Mallory, was built in 1902. At 2,173 square feet, it sits on a 5,000 square foot lot.

In September the home sold for $308,999. In October the new owner applied for a land use review to split the lot into two parcels. That application has been approved by the Bureau of Development Services.

On Jan. 20 the owner applied for demolition of the house. The city is applying the 35-day demolition delay period, which means the developer will be replacing the house with something other than a single replacement single-family residence.

While city property records show the new owner to be 3959 NE Mallory LLC, the applications for development list the owner as Brooklyn’s Best Design Co LLC. Both businesses are registered at an address on Southeast 12th Avenue.

Strachen worked on a very similar project at 3614 NE Rodney, where a 1907 home was demolished last summer. The 5,000 square foot lot was split and two attached townhouses are being built on the site.
3614 NE Rodney, house received demolition permit in July 2014
Construction permits have not yet been filed on the Northeast Mallory project. The demolition delay will expire on Feb. 24.
