Whidden & Lewis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whidden & Lewis was a prominent architectural firm in Portland, Oregon, United States around the beginning of the 20th century formed by William M. Whidden and Ion Lewis. The partnership was established in 1889.[1] Their residential buildings were mostly in the Colonial Revival style, while their commercial buildings were primarily in the twentieth-century classical style. The commercial buildings often featured brick, along with terra cotta ornamentation. Many of their buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[2]
