MODS Note
  • "The George W. and Hetty A. Bowers House is an example of a residential structure made of poured concrete, a construction method proponed by Thomas Edison in the early-twentieth century as an efficient and cost-effective method for building single-family homes. Unlike houses constructed of concrete blocks, poured-concrete houses were fairly rare because the concrete forms needed to create the walls were expensive and it was difficult to alter these buildings after construction. The Bowers House is one of only three known early-twentieth century Portland houses constructed using this method. The Bowers House is a two-story foursquare design, similar to the plan patented by Edison, though it includes unique classical details. Due to its notable and experimental construction and design, the Bowers House is a good example of a middle-class adaption of poured-concrete housing in the Classical Revival style.
