The Story
1965 Sw Montgomery Pl, Portland, Or 97201
Created in 1912 by celebrated Architect Josef Jacobberger, the Giesy/Failing House is an extraordinary architectural treasure blending Craftsman and Arts & Crafts influences. Set on 1.55 acres in Portland’s West Hills, the residence showcases steep gabled rooflines, a cantilevered stucco second floor, and exquisite wrought-iron artistry. The distinguished entry canopy of glass and iron introduces interiors rich with character—high ceilings, wood paneling, leaded-glass windows, intricate moldings, and multiple fireplaces. The home offers five bedrooms, four full and two half baths, and a collection of grand living spaces including a gracious foyer, sunroom, library, formal dining room, and a recently renovated kitchen. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and located on a quiet dead-end street near parks, trails, downtown, schools, hospitals, and high-tech hubs, this is a rare chance to own a significant Portland landmark where historic beauty meets modern livability.
