The home sits on a 1.5-acre, irregularly shaped lot on the north side of Phantom Bluff Court. The home is sited on a well-landscaped lot with brick terraces and planters, filled with flowering shrubs and perennial and annual plantings. The home is roughly centered on the lot, sitting approximately 160 feet from both the lake and Phantom Bluff Court. A long driveway leads from Phantom Bluff Court to the east edge of the lot and then curves around the house to the west to a parking area on the east side of the home. The two-story house has a wide, steeply pitched, low gable roof with two front-gabled projections on the west end of the south façade and two front-gabled projections on the west end of the north façade. The roof is clad in cedar shingles. A wall chimney is located at the west end of the house, and gabled dormers are on both the north and south roof slopes. Another brick chimney is located on the southernmost gable end. The chimney steps in at the roofline and is capped with a metal chimney cap. The main body of the house is clad in stucco, and on the west side of the south façade the two gable projections are clad in half-timbered brick. The gable ends are clad with horizontal cedar bevel siding and most of the gable dormers are also clad in bevel siding. Window types vary, but most are wood multilight casement and multilight fixed windows. On the east façade of the house is an oriel window with fixed or casement multilight leaded windows. The rear doors to the patio are multilight leaded French doors. It appears all of the dormers have multilight leaded windows. The eastern gable projection on the south façade has a full second- story multilight leaded window, a character-defining feature of the home. A garage sits to the south of the home at the edge of the paved drive. The 1989 cultural resources inventory suggests there are no associated structures (Koler and Morrison 1989). The driveway leads to the house, and it appears a garage could have been the easternmost portion of the home. It is unclear if the garage was more recently constructed and more research should be done to see if an attached garage was converted to living space. The 1989 cultural resources inventory does not list any known changes to the structure and no other changes are apparent. The Richard W. and Mildred Beatrice Deaver Sundeleaf House exhibits many of the character-defining features associated with the Tudor Revival style, including, a steeply pitched, side-gable, cedar shingle clad roof, primary stucco siding and secondary half-timbered brick siding, windows with lead muntins, wood-framed multilight windows, and an asymmetrical form reminiscent of a late-medieval English manor. *Researcher/ Organization: Date Recorded: L.

Boyd/ SWCA-1220 SW Morrison St, Portland, OR 97205 August 2014 City of Lake Oswego, 380 “A” Avenue, Lake Oswego, OR 97034 Additional research and review by Erin O’Rourke-Meadors SHPO #: Survey Form Page 2 of 11 Revised 12/02 OREGON INVENTORY OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES HISTORIC RESOURCE SURVEY FORM *County: Clackamas Street Address: 16715 Phantom Bluff Court City: Situs Address: Lake Oswego Statement of Significance The Richard W. and Mildred Beatrice Deaver Sundeleaf House, overlooking Oswego Lake, at 16715 Phantom Bluff Court, in the Palisades neighborhood of Lake Oswego, is significant as both an excellent example of the Tudor Revival style and as the personal residence of the Richard Sundeleaf family. The house was designed by Sundeleaf in 1939 on a rugged shelf on the Lake’s south shore, where one finds a number of Sundeleaf designed houses on large lots, including the house designed for his daughter and son-in-law. Richard Wilhelm Sundeleaf (1900-1987) was one of Oregon’s most significant and prolific architects with projects in Oregon, Washington, England and Australia. He was born and raised in Portland, graduated from Washington High School, and, in 1923, the University of Oregon’s School of Architecture. Following graduation, he began his career working as a draftsman for prominent architect, Wade H. Pipes, and for the Portland firms of A. E. Doyle and of Sutton and Whitney. He established his own architectural office, in the Public Service Building, on August 1, 1928. Although his initial work focused on commercial projects for clients such as the Jantzen Knitting Mills, and Oregon Portland Cement, he was soon considered “…among Portland’s most versatile architects”. His body of work included vast and diverse commercial, educational, industrial, office, religious and residential designs. It is estimated that during his more than sixty year career as an architect, he had “completed more than 3,000 projects”. A number of his designs are found on the National Register of Historic Places, and include the: Dr. Walter Black House; Chi Psi Fraternity House; Clarence E. Francis House; Carl C. Jantzen Estate Jantzen Knitting Mill Building; Paul F. Murphy House; E. J. O’Donnell House; and Oregon Portland Cement Building He designed the model house for the Ladd Estate Company in 1937 (The Oregonian 1987). The home was located on 432 Country Club in Oswego and was featured in The Sunday Oregonian several times during its public inspection period (The Sunday Oregonian 1937a, 1937b). The house’s resulting success-it reportedly attracted over 10,000 visitors in a 6-week period-helped further encourage Lake Oswego’s transformation from an industrial company town into a wealthy enclave consisting of a substantial country club, as well as neighborhoods dominated in the first half of the twentieth century by Tudor Revival, Arts and Crafts, and English Cottage–style houses (American Builder and Building Age 1938). Many Sundeleaf-designed houses are now part of the Lake Oswego Landmark Designation List and some are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (The Oregonian 1987). “Richard Wilhelm was born on February 8, 1987, in Portland, and died, at his home in Lake Oswego, on March 8, 1987. Richard was the second son of Charles A. Sundeleaf, a Swedish immigrant, and Gracia M. Welsh, of Oregon. At the time of the 1910, and 1920 Census, Richard is living with his parents and brothers at the family home on Leo Street, in SE Portland. His father’s employment as a waiter has now advanced and he is manager at the Oyster Loaf Restaurant. On October 10, 1925, Richard marries Mildred Beatrice Deaver at the Westminster Presbyterian Church. The Oregonian Society News reports a reception followed at the Hotel Oregon. Mildred was born on May 25, 1903 in Missouri; she was the eldest child of Robert L. Deaver, of Iowa, and Annie E. Badger, of Missouri. Sometime between 1910 and1913. The Deaver family moved to Oregon, where Robert was part of the University of Oregon’s Class of 1914, receiving a Bachelor of Law. Despite his law degree, Robert is found, as of 1924, to be a house contractor, principal of the R. L. Deaver & Company; and, the 1930, the Census, also, lists his occupation as “house contractor. Prior to her marriage, Mildred attended Oregon Agricultural College, today’s Oregon State University. Mildred was very active politically; a number of Letters to the Editor were published in The Oregonian on a variety of political topics.

River View was established on land purchased by Henry W. Corbett and then sold on an interest-free note to the River View Cemetery Association, an organization formed by Corbett in association with Henry Failing, William S. Ladd and others. The Association adopted its initial bylaws on December 4, 1882 and remains a non-profit endowment care facility. “Owners of Interment rights in the cemetery become part of the River View Cemetery Association, thereby becoming owners of the cemetery” (River View, c2011). From its beginnings, River View Cemetery was seen as a major milestone in Portland‟s development; a beautiful, serene, well-designed and maintained final resting place for the city‟s dead. Its graceful, almost park-like, natural setting quickly became a popular recreational destination for Portlanders, complimenting the project‟s primary purpose.

  • Historic Context and Narrative Statement
    HISTORIC CONTEXT AND NARRATIVE STATEMENT Early East Side Development (1870-1890) By the early twentieth century, the city of Portland’s population steadily spread eastward beyond the confines of the city’s center on the west side of the Willamette River. This expansion was enabled by the construction of a series of bridges across the river. The first Morrison Street Bridge of 1887 was followed by a railroad bridge at the current location of the Steel Bridge in 1888. The next year, the first electric railway crossed the Steel Bridge into Albina and East Portland (which were incorporated into Portland in 1889).54 With the improved vehicular and streetcar connections to the east side came an increase in residential development. The impact of the streetcar on Portland’s east side was particularly dramatic. In 1891, 25 percent of the greater metropolitan population resided on the east side. By the 1910s, that figure rose to 50 percent. Portland was following a larger national trend in urban to suburban migration. As historian Alan Gowans has noted, “by the 1890s, most of the well-to-do were gone from inner cities, and by 1900 the middle class was well on its way out also – away from all this, out to the suburbs.”55 In Portland and elsewhere, the streetcar permitted the urban middle class to work in the bustling city centers and reside in the more sylvan and healthful suburbs. The dramatic expansion of the city’s population onto the east side was accommodated by the rapid subdivision and development of the patchwork of large and small farmsteads on the east side.
