Good Manors

The Re-Portland Report: We spent the last day of our vacation back where this whole thing started a week and a half ago—a last chance for us, if you will, to stop and smell the Rose City. We loitered around Powell’s block-long bookstore, sampled the world’s teas at Tao of Tea, and caught an Omnimax film at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.

We started our day at the Pittock Mansion, the home once owned by newspaper magnate Henry Pittock—the Oregonian who got The Oregonian off the ground—and his wife, Georgiana. The house had 22 rooms—one with a never-seen-before multi-head shower—and a breathtaking hillside view of Portland’s downtown.
