Today’s history lesson: A Craftsman house owned by a family of physicians for nearly a century goes up for sale just down the road from Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. Built in 1907, the house was first occupied by Emily Ferguson, MD one of the state’s first practicing female Ob/Gyns, and her husband, Elmer Ferguson, MD. Emily, who arrived with her parents on the Oregon Trail in 1882, was the widow of Willard Rinehart, MD before marrying Ferguson in 1900. Her Rinehart descendants purchased the property in 1939, finally relinquishing it in 2023.
