Dunthorpe Remodel

Dunthorpe Remodel Living Room

Built in the 1910s, this house had undergone several major additions and remodels. This remodel re-arranged the interior, created better interior spaces, and highlighted the unique setting on the Willamette River.

This remodel relocated the front entrance and dining room, added a master suite, renovated the kitchen, added an elevator, reconfigured the living room with a wooden truss vaulted ceiling, and added new stone masonry to the exterior and living room fireplace.
