The space With an aesthetic created in part from salvaged strips of lumber from a small wood mill down the street, Mill Room was designed by me, Evan Cael, "Inn Keeper" at 1234 House. Sway on the canvas hammock hanging over a queen-size memory-foam bed. A leather loveseat and wooden table with chairs complete the furnishings of the room. 1234 House was built in 1902 and fully renovated by a team of local artists and craftspeople in 2015 when it opened as a guesthouse for travelers visiting Portland. Over the years, dozens of creatives have contributed wall murals, tile mosaic, stained-glass art, paintings, pottery, furniture, musical instruments and custom wood installations to the house, which is an ongoing, long-term community art project. With private guest rooms and shared common spaces (living room, dining room, kitchen, outdoor bench patios), the house becomes home to an always-changing ephemeral community of guests. Guest access There’s a shared restroom down the hall with a clawfoot tub and tile mosaic wrapping the walls. A second shared bathroom on the main floor has a shower. Make use of the washer/dryer on the second floor. Relax on the living room MCM chaise lounge in the or play a song on the painted piano. Take a break from the restaurant crowds and make a meal in the kitchen. Sit at the 11-foot Doug-Fir-slab dining table. Other features: •WiFi •Keyless number-code locks on front and bedroom doors •Backyard with chiminea and BBQ During your stay I’m Evan. I own and manage 1234 House and live two blocks away. I’m often at the house working on projects and making sure everything runs smoothly. My father, Bob, lives at the house and is a co-host, co-owner. I’m always available to answer questions. As a native Portlander who enjoys conversation, I’m usually down to chat and share city recommendations. Bob is pretty sociable, too. Our priority is that our guests enjoy their time and feel at home at 1234 House. Other things to note There is no off-street parking here. We live on a corner, so there is typically plenty of curbside parking in front of the house. A local church has a 40-spot parking lot across the street they make available to the public everyday but Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. If you arrive before our 2 p.m. check-in, or when departing your travel plans are later than our 11 a.m. check-out, you're welcome to leave your luggage at the house where they'll be safe and head out on an outing, or you're more than welcome to hang out in the common areas of the house (kitchen, dining room, living room, front outdoor patio). Just leave your bags in the dining room against the wall below the big painting. Registration Details 14-119074-000-00-LU
