Walter S. Zimmerman House

Photographing the Walter S. Zimmerman House meant capturing not just its architecture, but its historic resonance. Designed by Wade Hampton Pipes in 1931, the home is a rare and intact example of English Arts and Crafts influence in Portland. The camera lingers on its distinctive arched stair tower, textured brickwork, and original leaded glass—elements that speak to Pipes’s devotion to craftsmanship and detail. Light plays gently across plaster walls, iron fixtures, and custom millwork, revealing a home that feels both timeless and deeply rooted in its era. Every image becomes a record of preservation, reflecting a design legacy that remains remarkably intact.
