Pittock Mansion presents At Home in Portland: 1909- 1914 - Pittock Mansion
The early decades of the 20th century were boom years for Portland. Population grew from 90,000 to 258,000 between 1900 and 1920, and Portlanders built homes of many types, reflecting their tastes, personalities, and incomes. Pittock Mansion, constructed between 1909 and 1914, is an unusually grand example of a Portland home, but through this exhibit, visitors can explore the variety of architecture styles used during this era to create a welcoming home.
Exhibit is included with regular admission.

First Time Buyers >Credit Card Common Sense
If you are buying a home for the first time, you need to establish a reasonably good financial foundation before a lender will approve you for a mortgage loan. Lenders look for a good credit rating, sufficient funds to make the initial down payment and pay the closing costs, and a stable employment situation.
People who have just qualified for a mortgage loan are usually in better-than-average financial shape. If you have recently purchased a new house, don't be surprised if you receive numerous offers from retail stores and other credit card companies offering you pre-approved revolving credit.
Be careful about accepting these offers! New home owners often use most of their savings in the process of financing the transaction, and they need everything from linens to furniture to get settled in the home. With all of the immediate credit available, it may be very tempting to just say "charge it." If you're not careful, you could be "up to your ears" in debt very quickly. It takes discipline to reach the goal of home ownership--and it takes that same kind of discipline to maintain financial health after you leave the closing table.
