In 1915, Osmond Baker Stubbs and his wife, Edith Williams Stubbs, built “Six Oaks” a manor home, on inherited acreage known as Colonial Heights, adjacent to the historic Ladd's Addition.
Once surrounded by empty fields, today it stands on slightly more than three city lots and has over 7,000 square feet in its three story floor plan.
The home, featuring the newest in electrical invention and convenience, was known locally as the Stubbs Electric Show Home.
Entry
The original wooden floors, interior millwork and hardware, a central vacuum system and a chauffeur's living quarters atop the carriage house add luxurious touches to the architecture of Morris H. Whitehouse and Jacques Andre Fouilhoux, who also helped design Waverley Country Club, Lincoln and Jefferson high schools, the University Club, and the original Multnomah Athletic Club. '
Whitehouse was later affiliated with the design of Temple Beth Israel and Foulihoux helped create Rockefeller Center and the Chicago Tribune Building.
Living Room
A large Palladian window is above the landing of the main stair, the hallway of which runs from the front to the back of the house.
