Property Watch: A serene Rummer in a neighborhood full of them Robert Rummer was a developer and builder, who started his company, Rummer Homes, in 1959, and became the most prolific builder of Eichler-style houses in the entire state. Think planes of glass climbing to the ceiling, and dramatic post-and-beam architecture that creates open expanses and easy connection to the outdoors, including an atrium inside the front door. The story goes that it was Rummer’s wife, Phyllis, who first noticed the potential of the striking Eichler designs on a visit to California, and suggested her husband check them out. When Rummer did, months later, he was hooked. Of the 750 homes Rummer constructed in the Portland metro area, about 300 are estimated to be in the Eichler style. This subdivision, called Bohmann Park and technically in unincorporated Washington County in the Garden Home-Raleigh Hills area, has the highest concentration of Rummers in Oregon: around 65 houses here are his builds. That means driving down SW Cecilia Terrace, where this house sits, is a little like stepping back in time. Tap the link in our bio to learn more about this home! Images: Courtesy Boone Bros.
