APPEARANCE The Jacob Kamm house, removed from its original site in 1950 and now lo»- cated at 1425 SW 20th Avenue in Portland, is the earliest and one of the finest examples of the French. Second Empire Cor General Grant^Roroque} style of architecture extant in Oregon, Built in 1871 by Jacoh Kamm, a prominent shipbuilder, it is not known if the architect was At E, Jordan or ¥, ¥. Piper, though the house has many characteristics in common with Piper *s work, L, Therkelsen was the builder. Very popular in the Eas^t from the midr<L860s, The Second Empire style is somewhat uncommon in Oregon, Though it appears to be of masonry, the two-storey house is built of carefully fitted wood with wooden quoins at the corners and a string course- like band between the first and second floors, Windows are surrounded with architraves which project in the low relief and have a molded "arched eye­ brow" cornice with a large keystone inset, Sills are supported on several brackets. The arched windows are double—hung solid panes with exterior m lowered^shutters. The one^storjsy bay window on the east "Bracketed cornice and aCballustrade^ and there is a tworsrtorey bay window on m the south side with- a bracketed cornice on the f irat level and a matching molded but unbracketed cornice on the second, The transomed double front door has a cantilivered and bracketed archedreyebrow portico with engaged urns against the wall of the house, free standing urns on the outer corners, and an anlfif ixa centered on each of the three open sides, a plain fr^i-ze on which, are set volute brackets supporting the projecting folded cornice. The n cornice is surmounted by a low molded parapet ;into which are set brow dormers whict are. flanked by volutes^ The dormers fhrotrude from a straigh£rsloped(manusard}roof which, is capped by a small'molded cornice. The o exterior retains its "original appearance, •z. The interior of the Kamm house has been greatly altered Though the plan is much, the same as originally, most of the woodwork and architectural detailing is from other notable Portland structures now demolished. Most notable is the burled ash panelling from the great hall of the Knapp house, a block-sized Stick Style house erected in 1882 and demolished in the 1950s, and the carved oak lobby pilasters, dated 1889, and leade:d glass from the Portland Hotel, designed by McKim, Head and White, also demolished in the early 1950s. In addition, the ornamental ironwork from the courtyard of "The Portland" is now installed around the front peremit^sr of the Kamm house, PERIOD (Check One or More as Appropriate) I | Pre-Columbian!

In addition, the house had a sort of "air^conditioning" system which u brought cool air from the Basement and released it through ornate round ID cast iron vents near the ceilings of the rooms, The piping for this system is still in^tact though it does not work. Jacob Kamm was born in Canton Glarus, Switzerland in 1823, the son of a Swiss army officer, Khen he weis eight years old, his father resigned his commission and the family immigrated to America? his father dying in Nesr Orleans of yellow^ fever when Jacob was twelve, When he was fourteen LJJ he journeyed to St, Louis and began work as a cabin boy aboard a steamboat. Learning the mechanics of the engines he was granted a license as engineer at the age of twenty, ^hen he wa^ twenty^six, poor health and the dis^ covery of gold in California lured him to the West, Kamm discovered he could make more money aa a steamboat engineer than as a miner and accepted a job on the Sacramento ftiver. Lot ^hitcomb, who was promoting the town of ^ilwaukie, Oregon, an early rival of Portland, hired John Ainsworth as captain and Kamm as engineer for a steamboat he wanted to build on the Willamette River, Kamm installed the boilers and machinery using tools he had forged by a local blacksmith. They ran the steamship Lot Whjtcomb on the Fillamette and Columbia Rivers carrying passengers and supplies until the ship was sold in 1854, Kamm, in conjunction with Captain Ainsworth, constructed other steam­ boats, The Carrie Ladd. built by them in 1858, formed the nucleus of the Union Transportation Company, later the Oregon Steam Navigation Company. On June 14, 1872 the Oregon Steam Navigation Company was succeeded by the Oregon Ipiiroad and Navigation Company with a capital of $6,000,000. In addition to being a major stockholder in that company, he organized the Vancouver Transportation Company. He also continued to construct steam­ boats for these and other transportation companies.

He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England. "I met in Venice in 1596 an old Greek mariner called Juan de Fuca, but whose real name was Apostolus Valerianus, who detailed that in 1592 he sailed in a small caravel from Mexico in the service of Spain along the coast of Mexico and California, until he came to the latitude of 47 degrees, and there finding the land trended north and northeast, and also east and south east, with a broad inlet of seas between 47 and 48 degrees of latitude, he entered therein, sailing more than twenty days, and at the entrance of said strait there is on the northwest coast thereto a great headland or island, with an exceeding high pinacle or spiral rock, like a pillar thereon." Fuca also reported find­ ing various inlets and divers islands; describes the natives as dressed in skins, and as being so hostile that he was glad to get away.
