Henry Pittock became the owner of The Oregonian Newspaper back in 1860. Him and his wife decided to build their dream home (Pittock Mansion) in 1912. It is 16,000 sq ft. with 23 rooms! The mansion was severely damaged in a storm in 1962. A couple of years after that, the city bought the estate so that it wouldn't get demolished. It is now a popular place to go see beautiful views and get a tour of the grounds/house! (This is really close to where we live)
