The John E. G. Povey House in northeast Portland, Oregon, is a Queen Anne-style house that was built in 1891. The house is asymmetrical and is about 28 feet (8.5 m) wide by 46 feet (14 m) deep. It was home of glass-maker John E. G. Povey (1867–1917).[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1] It was deemed significant for its association with John E. G. Povey and the Povey Brothers Art & Stained Glass Works company, and also for its architecture "containing high artistic merit both in the craftsmanship of the structure and the stained glass designs in many of the windows."[2]
The Povey Brothers Art Glass Works firm was founded by John E. and brother David L. Povey in Portland in 1888; it was the leading art-glass maker in the area from about 1890 to about 1920.[2]
John E. G. Povey died in the house in 1917, at age 49.[2]
