A Mid-Century Modern Master
To MCM enthusiasts in the Portland area, Robert Rummer is a local legend. Don't miss your chance to meet the man himself and see examples of his work from his own archives.
Builder of 1960s-'70s residences in neighborhoods mostly west of downtown, Mr. Rummer's homes have acquired iconic status for their focus on bringing the outdoors inside.
Renown for their dramatic, yet elegant mixture of high ceilings, warm wood paneling, and full-length glass walls, "Rummer" homes are especially prized by lucky homeowners for their gorgeous glass-enclosed atriums.
Today, these skylit courtyards remain, as a local reviewer once stated, "the center of attention, and everything else."
