Jim teaches architecture at the University of Oregon and has been entwined with this place since coming here for lunch in the 90s, and taking what was long my favorite photo of the house.

In the fall of 2025, he was here for several days with his camera and a measuring tape. All the new photos are amazing, but I'll just put this new favorite here for now. No one had ever thought of turning on every light in the place. Brilliant—in every meaning of the word.

I hasten to add that this is not the huge guest lodge it appears to be. The building is one-room deep, two bedrooms and an office upstairs. Think of a double-decker train, skinny cars lined up. The largest room is 14 feet by 20.

I've shipped all Chris's original site- and floor-plans to Jim as the best custodian of all that paper. Not that I don't trust our heirs. But Jim gets this place at a profound level. I've told our kids that they should talk with him when they have questions or concerns about caretaking it all.
