The Morning Oregonian - 25 September 1899 page 16 East Side Building Notes The Farm House of Frank Bode on Gravel hill ... is well along toward completion. It is to take the place of the cottage recently destroyed by fire in that neighborhood. - a look at the Portland City Directory around that period shows a Frank Bode living at 40 E 12th. This would be near the current site of the intersection of Burnside and 12th and Sandy. Coming up from the river all of these roads do come up a small hill. By 1899 it would be well developed and settled, in 1868 it would not have been. the word hill was not capitalized in the article. --- "Nathan Haines Sr." <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > Has anyone ever heard of Gravel Hill?
