Exploring the Tudor Arms Apartments
The Tudor Arms Apartments were designed by a famous architect from Portland named Carl L. Linde. He used a style called Tudor Revival or Jacobethan. This style often looks like old English buildings from the 1500s and 1600s.
Outside the Building
The outside of the building is made of brick. It has pretty white decorations called terra cotta around the windows. These decorations are called lintels. You can find the building's name above a big archway. This archway leads into a beautiful courtyard with plants.
Inside the Building
When you go through the archway, you'll see a door with special leaded glass. This glass has pieces of colored glass held together by metal. Inside, there's a grand entrance hall called a foyer. The walls of the foyer are covered with fancy mahogany wood panels. The floor is made of shiny marble. Each apartment inside has nice hardwood floors and original wooden details.
Location and History
The Tudor Arms Apartments are located in the Northwest or Nob Hill District of Portland. This area is special because it is set aside for historic preservation. This means people work to keep the old buildings looking their best. The apartments are also close to the Pearl District and Downtown Portland.
In 2006, the building was changed into condominiums. This means that instead of renting, people can buy their own apartments inside the building. To keep its historical status, most of the original parts of the building have been carefully saved.
