705 Davis Street Apartments
The 705 Davis Street Apartments (also known as Seven Hundred Five Davis Street Apartments or simply 705 Davis) is a historic residential building located at 2141 Northwest Davis Street in Portland, Oregon, in the United States. It was designed by Morris H. Whitehouse and J. André Fouilhoux via the firm Whitehouse & Fouilhoux, and was completed in 1913.[3] It quickly became one of Portland's most fashionable addresses due to its fine design and materials and large rooms. Its original owner, Julia Hoffman (1856–1934), was a major figure in the Portland arts community, both as practitioner and advocate.[lower-alpha 1] She lived in the building's penthouse until her death.[4]
