The 616 square foot house was built in 1925. It is located at NE 51st and Fremont.
The Oregonian, June 24, 1956: the house is advertised for sale for $6250. “Well kept and a real buy.”
The property sold in January for $300,000. The new owner is Creo Properties LLC.

Early last Spring the city received an application for a partition of the 3,845 square foot lot. The applicant requested the property be split into two parcels. Several months later the developer applied for demolition of the existing house.
The demolition was subject to the 35-day delay, as the developer is replacing the house with two new residential structures rather than a single house, which would have waived the delay. The permit was delayed until July 9, however demolition has not yet occurred.

The current house will be replaced by two townhouses.
