ORIGIN
In 1907, after a lifetime in rural Oregon, Wade Pipes went to England to study architecture It would be a life-changing trip for the 30-yearold Not only would he study the Arts and Crafts movement at its height, even meeting important designers like C F A Voysey, but on his move to Portland in 1911, he brought the style back with him. His ensuing house designs, totaling 70 over the span of his career, established him as an Arts and Crafts devotee
Even his fashion followed suit, noted Pietro Belluschi, who purportedly described Pipes as “an elegantly dressed man in English tweeds ”
The Arts and Crafts movement was more philosophical than prescriptive, emphasizing the importance of simplicity, natural materials, and the handmade It encompassed the decorative arts, too, like wallpaper and furniture Historians note that Pipes’s “houses are nearly all in the Arts and Crafts style, and contain many design features that can be traced to English prototypes, yet all are unique and tailored to the environs of Portland ”
Belluschi, who would return to Portland after serving as dean of Massachusetts Institute of Technology's School of Architecture and Planning, praised Pipes' skill as a craftsman and designer who understood good composition and fine detailing
"Wade Pipes was a man out of time: a free spirit living in uneasy truce with a technologically obsessed society," observed Belluschi "He was uncompromising in his principles and adamant in what he thought to be appropriate and beautiful "
