AFTER HE FINISHED ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL at the University of Oregon in 1952, John Robert Gatewood designed a house for his family in the Southwest Hills. Completed in 1955, it today stands as an example of Northwest Regionalism at its finest, and quite the conversation starter online. We think it’s the grand gestures, like the sweep of the low-pitched gable roof, deep eaves, and the soar of floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room and library. Even the commenters at Zillow Gone Wild can only say one thing: “Beautiful.”

UO grad John Robert Gatewood lived in the Southwest Hills house for 50 years.

Wearing this so you don’t have to guess what I do 😎💬

“Ask Me About Mortgages” isn’t just a sweatshirt… it’s an open invitation. Whether you’re buying your first home, dreaming about the next one, refinancing, or just curious where rates are sitting — I’m always happy to chat.

No pressure. No silly questions. Just real conversations and good guidance. 🏡
