Description

The Ermatinger House, which was built in 1843, is a two-story Greek Revival house. This historic house not only signifies the celebration of the coin toss between Francis W. Pettygrove and Asa Lovejoy to decide the naming of Portland, but is also the one of the oldest surviving in Oregon. In addition to its architectural rarity, the house is also known as the former home of the Hudson’s Bay Company Chief Trader, Francis Ermatinger.
