The Stevens-Crawford Heritage House (SCHH) is an American Foursquare home built in 1908 by prominent real estate investors Harley Stevens and his wife, Mary Elizabeth. It remained in the family until 1968 when Mertie Stevens passed away, leaving her family home to the Clackamas County Historical Society. Practical construction and craftsman architecture make this home one of the finer dwellings in the city. The house was restored to much of its original Edwardian splendor through donations of furnishings and textiles. A visit to the Stevens-Crawford Heritage House will transfer you back to a world of Progressive Era inventions and innovations.
The Stevens-Crawford House is a two-story home, with the first story only accessible after ascending a small flight of stairs to reach the front porch. Because of this the Stevens-Crawford Heritage House is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for those who have difficulty ascending and descending stairs.
