Difficult to read--but in 1911, after 2 yrs in the planning and construction, Henry and Georgiania with 11 family members, representing 3 generations of the family, moved into the mansion. After members of the family moved out, and the mansion stood empty, falling into disrepair, the mansion was saved from demolition, purchased and is now open to the public since 1968. It is maintained by Portland Parks and Recreation and friends of the Pittock Mansion Society. It is still being restored and refurbished by these many volunteers.
