Located in Northwest Portland, Oregon, The Sarah Friendly is on the National Historic Registry as the only fully intact example of one of the earliest apartment house types represented in Northwest Portland.
It features a number of updates including forced air heating, updated plumbing, and on-demand hot water heaters.
The two-story, six unit apartment building was built for investor Sarah F. Lauer in 1905 for the influx of people following the boosterism of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition.
The City of Portland Historic Resource Inventory, shows that of the 16 apartment buildings dating from the 1900-1909, half are multi-level. The Sarah Friendly is the best preserved of these.
