The Thomas Michos House, located in Portland, Oregon, is a house listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house is believed to be designed by Roscoe Hemenway, a well-known and prolific architect in Portland, Oregon. His name is listed as the heading in a 1975 Oregonian ad regarding this home. The landscape architect is believed to be Adolph Meyer of Alpine Gardens who designed the extensive gardens and stonework with ponds. He was Swiss-trained. The original owners were Thomas and Myrtle Michos, who opened the Jolly Joan restaurant in 1932. This became Oregon's largest and most popular restaurant, serving up to 12,000 people per day at Broadway near Washington in the Morgan building, which later became the shopping mall Morgans Alley. For most of its existence, the Jolly Joan was open 24 hours per day 7 days a week, closing only for 2 hours during Roosevelt's funeral.

Alpenrose Dairy
Alpenrose Dairy

Alpenrose Dairy is a dairy and home delivery company located in the Hayhurst neighborhood of southwest Portland, Oregon, since 1916. It was owned by the Cadonau family for several generations until being sold to Smith Brothers Farms, a family-owned dairy located in Kent, Washington, in August 2019.The brand was named after the alpine rose (Rosa pendulina) by the Swiss-born wife and early co-owner of the dairy. Alpenrose is a "supplier of dairy products to retail, wholesale and ingredient customers in Portland and throughout the Northwest". In 2020, addressing the growing demand for delivery services the company introduced Alpenrose Home Delivery, a weekly grocery delivery service that provides customers with Alpenrose brand dairy products and other locally-made grocery items. Deliveries are facilitated by the company's fleet of milkmen and milkwomen, who deliver groceries by neighborhood and are unique to the service.The 52 acres (21 ha) grounds of the dairy include: Circuit d'Alpenrose, a velodrome, one of only 25 such tracks in the United States. The track was built to host the 1967 National Championships. At 268.43 meters around with a 16.6-metre (54 ft) radius and a 43-degree bank, Alpenrose is one of the steepest velodromes in the country. Alpenrose is home to the only North American Six-day race.

E. J. O'Donnell House
E. J. O'Donnell House

The E. J. O'Donnell House in Multnomah County, Oregon, just outside the Portland municipal boundary, was designed in 1938 by architect Richard Sundeleaf for dairyman and cattle breeder Edward J. O'Donnell. It was completed in 1940.The single-story house was designed to be wheelchair-accessible for a child of the O'Donnells'. It has a "multiplicity of steeply-pitched cross gables at the east end and a variegated exterior of brick, lapped weatherboards as gable cladding, and secondary siding of boards and molded battens." It has bays and projections on its faces, and on the northeast has a kitchen/utility wing and on the southwest has a garage/bedroom wing. Its NRHP nomination describes that:The house displays the essential qualities for which Sundeleaf's Arts and Crafts architecture is admired. Porches have heavy post and beam framing. Solid craftsmanship emphasizes interior wood paneling and trim. A square module is used for division of window space, including sidelights for view windows on which such premium is placed in Portland's west hills. Building volumes are stepped down to the landscape through sheltered terraces and projecting window bays. The architect brings forward from earlier projects (see Clarence Francis House) a rear gallery—an updated screens passage which in archetypical manor houses leads to private compartments from the great hall or circulation core. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
