Step into a timeless romance at The Historic Ambassador, a 1923 Jacobean beauty by Carl L. Linde. Unit 505 exudes vintage glamour with 9’ ceilings, oak floors, crown molding, and sun-drenched south-facing windows. Once home to Portland’s original movers and shakers, the building’s grandeur lives on—think cast stone lions, wrought-iron staircases, mirrored French doors and golden chandeliers. The charming kitchen boasts wood/glass cabinetry, a tile backsplash, and cheerful morning light. Two spacious bedrooms and a classic subway-tiled bath provide comfort and grace. Residents enjoy a rose-covered rooftop deck with panoramic city views, elegant guest quarters, bike storage, and laundry facilities. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and nestled beside the University Club and the Arts District—this is downtown Portland living at its most poetic. Own a piece of history and make it your story.
