Built in downtown Portland in approximately 1859 for the Henry Failing Family, the home was taken apart and barged down the river to a new site at Lake Kellogg in 1900. In 1914 it was moved across Lake Road to its current beautiful, peaceful location. Don't miss the decommissioned dumbwaiter and the glorious door hinges on the front door (and some others).
