Doriot Rider Log Home, Washington County, Tigard
Year Designated: 2008
The Doriot/Rider Log House is listed in the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural merit as the only remaining historic log structure in Tigard. Built in 1923 by H.G and Delpha Doriot as a guest house for friends and family, the building represents a period of renewed interest in the rustic qualities and relaxed atmosphere inherent in log house materials, design, and construction.
The Arts and Crafts architectural movement and the log buildings constructed by the National Park Service generated interest in this type of architecture in the early twentieth century. Located on a wooded semi-secluded lot, the one-and-one half story building features round log construction, a river-stone fireplace, and natural wood finishes throughout the interior.
