WOW! House In Forest Grove: Buy A Significant Piece Of Washington County History For $1.1 Million
The Isaac Macrum House on the city's Southside has been an attraction for visitors and residents since its construction in 1888.
FOREST GROVE, OR — The Isaac Macrum House on the Southside of Forest Grove has been known as many things during its 130-year existence: First it was simply the home of Isaac and Westanna Macrum; then the Forest Grove Sanitarium, and later the Forest Grove Hospital; in 1931 it was dubbed "Westanna," in honor of its original owner; and 20 years later it was the Castle School Day Care. Yet throughout all its years of visitors and inhabitants the house has remained a fixture in the city, more recently drawing tourists and archivists interested in its historical value. Listed on the National Historic Register as "the only grand residence remaining of three built in the Late Victorian—Queen Anne style in Forest Grove," the Macrum House has retained most of its original design and architecture, with only a handful of modern upgrades completed in the 1990s — such as A/C and city plumbing. Sitting on a half-acre lot, the 7,700-square-foot home has 21 rooms, 10 of which are bedrooms, three full bathrooms and two half-baths, and a large wine cellar. The house also boasts 10 fireplaces, each designed differently then the next. Located roughly 20 miles west of downtown Portland, this incredible piece of Forest Grove's long history is only $1.1 million.
