The funky '60s-modern bathroom tile was salvaged, and crown moldings were added to formalize the rooms. The idea of living in a Sheetrocked box is not great. The crowning touch is a rooftop deck with a panoramic view of the city. A little bit of Boston is rising, house by house, at a Gresham site on Southeast Powell Boulevard. The front of each home has bay windows, and stairs lead to a small front porch.
Front doors have varied pediments and trim.
Nine-foot ceilings on the main floor are standard. Some of the homes have sold, but much of the site is still under construction. The company also is building the brownstone style at other sites in the Portland metropolitan area. More than 100 units will be built in Tigard in 2000.
