The Boutwell House, a Depression-era landmark at 920 Fairway Road in Lake Oswego, is on the market for the first time in nearly a century. The asking price is $2,195,000, as OregonLive first reported Monday, Sept. 21.

The 4,201-square-foot home sits on 1.19 acres adjacent to Oswego Lake Country Club, with Boutwell Creek running through the property.

Four generations of the Boutwell family have owned it since it was built. The Oregon Historic Sites Database lists the primary construction date as 1931, and the home has been on the National Register of Historic Places since Feb. 20, 1991.

The original construction cost was $12,000.

Architect George Post, who held the first license issued by the Oregon Board of Architect Examiners, designed the English cottage-style home around its natural setting.

The state historic record describes it as "an excellent example of Arts and Crafts style architecture," with rough stucco, uncoursed rock and mock half-timbering on the exterior.

Inside, the living room has 16-foot vaulted ceilings with exposed old-growth timber trusses, original wide-plank oak flooring and a cathedral-shaped solid oak front door. A wood-burning fireplace features handcrafted metalwork that the family believes was made by an artisan who worked on Timberline Lodge's Silcox Hut, a claim noted in the National Register nomination, according to OregonLive.

The original owners, Willard S. Boutwell and Gladys Boutwell, had deep ties to the region's industries. Willard headed the electrical department for Crown Willamette, the predecessor to Crown Zellerbach, at its West Linn paper mill, according to the state historic record. Gladys owned Blue Ribbon Dairy, a business her family founded in 1927.

Their son, Burrhus North Boutwell, known as Burr Sr., graduated from the University of Oregon School of Architecture and became a partner in several Pacific Northwest architectural firms. He died in 1976 at age 47.

The house eventually passed to his son Burr Boutwell Jr., who has lived there with his wife Jane since 1990, according to the Lake Oswego Review.

Boutwell, now retired from a career in general construction, told the Review the house was comfortable, the property private and full of wildlife. "I miss the craftsmanship of the house, which I always greatly appreciated being in the construction industry," he said.

The couple moved to Kalispell, Montana, to be closer to their children. Jane Boutwell, founder and president of Well Said Consulting, told the Review she would remember sledding on the country club fairways with neighbors and walking to the Fourth of July parade in downtown Lake Oswego.

The property also includes a 10,000-gallon swimming pool surrounded by stonework, a stone fountain and waterfall, an adjoining wading pond, two outbuildings and a chicken coop.

Listing broker Mimi Porter of Windermere Heritage said the family is ready to pass the home to a new owner.

An open house is scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon Oct. 3.
