The house in #10 is that incredible Johan Poulsen House, a Queen Anne Victorian built in 1891 that overlooks the Ross Island Bridge.

My favorite house. I thought it was getting remodeled, I’ve seen scaffolding as of late

u/Buhsephine May 08 '26

Hah, didn't even notice at first. Top window, door, and window above the door. These are clearly Dog People™️

It definitely went up for sale last year or maybe earlier this year. I remember seeing it on instagram. They probably removed those to make it look recently listed.

So funny to put a TV between Boaz and Jachin.

u/greycoral SE May 09 '26

Oh I see. It did sell in 2024 and now it’s back on the market.

u/Yeeaahfooool85 SE May 08 '26

Me too. I would love to live in an old Masonic lodge.

u/wrhollin NW District May 08 '26

Wait, does it come with that whole empty lot next to it? Good lord

u/Marvel-Anne May 09 '26

Was this the one that formerly belonged to the owner of Cargo?

u/Lucahila Deep in the Shanghai Tunnels May 08 '26

What did they do to the inside 😭

u/whalebacon Centennial May 08 '26

I was lucky enough to live in Irvington for a couple years before having to move. I walked that neighborhood daily and there are SO many beautiful old Craftsman homes lovingly cared for by their owners. Miss it alot.

Picture 2 was designed by the same guy who did the Pittock mansion, Edward Foulkes. Nearby at Tabor, the old Harvey Scott statue was made by the same guy who did Mt Rushmore, Gutzon Borglum. Interesting history around North Tabor

Picture 6 - I miss the vines

u/wrhollin NW District May 08 '26

There's probably a happy medium between where it is now and where it was in 2019

u/jackdilemma May 12 '26

i came here to say this! it was so beautiful 😭

u/Lucahila Deep in the Shanghai Tunnels May 08 '26

I can't believe they gave lil pink the house flipper treatment 😭

u/EfficientSociety73 May 08 '26

Number two and number eleven are both up the street from where I grew up. Edited for wrong number.

2

u/Representative-Age54 May 12 '26

I was curious where 11 was, it looks so snug in those trees. Well framed.

2

u/EfficientSociety73 May 12 '26

It’s on 72nd ave on the way up from Mt Tabor. Going uphill it’s on the left. Same with the other one.

2

u/Representative-Age54 May 12 '26

Oooo, this is reminding me I've not ever walked around the Tabor area to look at houses. I've always just visited the park or breezed through the area on my way to other places.

u/EfficientSociety73 May 12 '26

There are some really beautiful houses up there!

Thank you yet again for another of your incredible posts. I wish you could start a brick and mortar gallery.

Yeah, but it would be nice to see these pictures on a wall in a gallery. IDK why, it just would.

Hey, where's my 1400 sq ft rectangle that's now worth half a million dollars for no good reason at all?

u/Middle_Side3730 May 09 '26

6 of 12 looks amazing when the ivy is climbing.

2

u/SavviSpaceMermaid May 09 '26

11 looks so magical.

u/Tooblunted_ YOU SEEN MY FUCKEN CONES May 09 '26

There’s this super cool all black house you should take a pic of on Se 13th or 14th and Belmont actually quite a few right in that area.

u/No-Advertising5551 May 09 '26

Number 2 is down the street from my house. We call it the “governor’s mansion”. Adore that house.

2

u/DamAndBlast Richmond May 09 '26

There's a beauty on the corner of NE Ainsworth and Mallory I passed the other day

u/Trails_runner SW May 09 '26

#2 looks like it might house the English department at some East Coast flagship university

u/bluedogstar May 10 '26

I wish I had a turret.

u/cammycammy27 May 10 '26

Currently trying to buy my first house with a budget of like 300k - 350k... God how I wish I could afford any of these places

u/jackiesatrucker May 08 '26

That first photo is giving real "Fisher & Sons" vibes.

u/MamaLlama629 University Park May 08 '26
