Historic Homes and Apartments
The Simon Abraham Duplex is a house built way back in 1890. It's designed in the Queen Anne style, which means it has lots of fancy details, towers, and different textures. This house is one of the very few "duplexes" (a building with two separate homes) from that time left in the Eliot neighborhood. It's cool because it shows how German and Scandinavian American families settled in this area, which used to be its own city called Albina.
