Sunday, I met the MiPL group at Upper Macleay Park for a quick hike up to
Pittock Mansion. For those
who don't know, Henry Pittock was the local news magnate in Portland (the
Oregonian, in fact) during the latter half of the 19th century and the first
part of the 20th. In 1909, he decided (at the old age of 76!) that he needed
to build himself a great mansion atop a hill overlooking Portland. These
photos are
the result.
