The Pittock Mansion is perched in the West Hills about 1000 ft. above downtown Portland, OR. (Their website has more impressive pictures of both the house and grounds.) The 22 room French Renaissance château was originally built as a private home for The Oregonian newpaper publisher Henry Pittock and his wife, Georgiana. It is currently preserved by the city parks department. Visitors can enjoy a tour of the home or stroll the lawns and, on a clear day, have views of Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Jefferson.
