F. E. Bowman Apartments

The F. E. Bowman Apartments is a historic apartment building located in the Irvington neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, United States. Constructed in 1913, it is one of the oldest apartment buildings in Irvington, and the best preserved from its era. Through its Craftsman styling, builder Frederic E. Bowman gave attention to blending the building into the neighborhood of pre-existing single-family homes. It is one of several apartment buildings of similar scale and/or style that Bowman added to Portland's urban landscape through his career.[2]
