1517 SE Holly Street - Several of this home's neighbors are proven Faber designs, but beyond the distinctive brackets and porch elements, attribution of this home to Faber is not strong. The original owners, John and Mary C. Wood, had lived on Caruthers Street before moving here, very likely in one of the many Faber-designed bungalows in that area. They built this home in the summer of 1912.

1517 SE Maple Street - Built in early 1909 by Myrt F. Donahae. Mr. Donahae had already had several homes built by the Portland Building Association to plans by Alfred Faber. This fact and the characteristic pressed stone porch elements and unusual barge board together dictate an attribution to Alfred Faber.

1530 SE Holly Street - Several sources prove that Alfred Faber was the designer of this home (an article in the Oregonian and Faber's name on the plumbing permit). This is one of the 3 Morgan & Robb homes built in Ladd's Addition in 1910. Their bankruptcy ultimately led to its purchase by William W. Graham. This home is the connection to Faber that links the other two homes to him as well.

1628 SE Ladd Street - In 1908 Myrt Donahae had Alfred Faber design a grand home for himself in Piedmont (5125 NE Garfield). He sold it after a year, and in 1909, built this home with lots of distinctive Faber touches. The connection to Faber and the distinctive architecture are too strong to avoid an attribution of this design to Faber also.

1640 SE Holly Street - In May, 1910, Morgan & Robb Investments is thought to have hired the Portland Building Association to build this and two other homes on speculation in Ladd's Addition. All three homes exhibit the distinctive features of a Faber design, including the fanciful brackets under the gable ends, the stone pillars and overstated porch timbers. After Morgan & Robb's bankruptcy in 1912, the title passed to one of their creditors, Frederick H. Strong. One of the homes, the 1530 SE Holly Street home, is a known Faber design, and this one is almost certainly also.

1804 SE 16th Avenue - Built in 1909 as the First United Evangelical Church, now the St. Sharbel Maronite Catholic Church. This Alfred Faber commission was listed in the Portland Daily Abstract, Feb. 11, 1909.

1819 SE Ladd Street - In May, 1910, Morgan & Robb Investments is thought to have hired the Portland Building Association to build this and two other homes on speculation in Ladd's Addition. All three homes exhibit the distinctive features of a Faber design, including the fanciful brackets under the gable ends, the stone pillars and steep roof pitch. After Morgan & Robb's bankruptcy in 1912, the title passed to their creditor, Frederick H. Strong. One of the three homes, the 1530 SE Holly Street home, is a known Faber design, helping to confirm the attribution to Faber.

1820 SE 16th Avenue - Built in 1909 as the Parsonage for the First United Evangelical Church, now the St. Sharbel Maronite Catholic Church. This Alfred Faber commission was listed in the Portland Daily Abstract, Feb. 11, 1909.

1846 SE Ladd Street - In March, 1910, Thomas H. Stoner had this home constructed by the Charles B. Mower Company. No architect is listed; however, Stoner had moved from a home (no longer standing) in the Piedmont area where Alfred Faber was the most active architect. That connection, plus the extensive use of stone in the front porch and the immaginative porch roof detailing, points to Alfred Faber as the architect.

1846 SE Ladd Street - More detail of the front porch stone work.

1990 SE Mulberry Street - The complex porch roof supports and unique assymetrical front-facing gable with elaborate barge board are possible clues to an Alfred Faber attribution of this home built by Nels J. Nelson in the spring of 1910. He sold the home in July of that year to Albert E. Holcomb, its first resident.
