Volunteers needed to help manage our collection at Frank Lloyd Wright's Gordon House. Start today to help take care of the only Frank Lloyd Wright house built in Oregon. Call 503-874-6006. Collection/Library Management: You will assist cataloging, maintaining and proper storage of our collections which includes weavings, framed fine art, pottery, baskets, letters, photographs, architectural drawings and the Gordon House itself. Update and maintain our library book database and help display our growing collection. The Gordon House is the only building in Oregon designed by iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a wonderful example of Wright's modern architectural design for American families of modest means, and the last of his Usonian homes.
