I am pretty sure this is the intersection of Vista and Montgomery. THe newest street view shows the house under remodel but historical street view shows this is the house. you can see by the south side porch and chimney locations

that house isn’t under ‘remodel’ – it has been destroyed and turned into a modernistic eyesore
of a box. they left a chimney and a wall standing, so no demolition permit was needed.
i at least was able to salvage some windows from their dumpster.
we had streetcars on Burnside off of King Street when I was a young girl living in an apt
Reblogged this on Oregon Real Estate Round Table.
looks like a leaf burning day with a very hazy look over the city
Flowers are blooming in foreground, so no fallen leaves to burn. Portland – like most cities of the time – was hazy almost all the time due to wood and coal fires for heating and cooking.
Very cool shot of the west hills. Thank you.
The house at the bottom right of the photo is still there 1687 SW Montgomery Dr. There’s been a garage built in front of it, but the rest is very identifiable: roof line, dormers (one of which has been made into a door and balcony) the chimneys (location and brickwork identical) and the overall style of the house.
Here’s the street view.
