From The Oregonian, 1909:
“Among the fine homes which have recently been built is the home of Eugene Blazier on the southwest corner of 17th and Wasco streets. This home was built at a cost of $20,000. It was designed by C.W. Woodruff, and has just been completed. It will be occupied tomorrow…
The home is 47x43 feet in size, three stories high, and contains 11 rooms… The living room, the largest of the downstairs rooms, is 28x24 feet is size and is beautifully finished in solid mahogany with light cream silk tapestried walls and a wide cream tiled fireplace. The reception hall is finished in mahogany with while enamel with beamed ceiling of white enamel, and a broad mahogany staircase leading from the center of the room. The walls are all leather-paneled. Connecting the reception hall, dining room, living room, and library are wide archways with fluted mahogany columns with Ionic capitals and mahogany pedestals. The dining room, 15x23 feet in size, is finished along the Old English style of architecture with quarter sawed oaken woodwork and walls paneled five feet high, beamed ceilings, and built-in china closets. The library, 14x19 feet in size, is finished in douglas fir with panelled walls, built-in bookcases, beamed ceiling, and a large tiled fireplace…
On the third floor are two bedrooms for servants, a bath, and a large billiard room, 15x35 feet in size, which is also adaptable for a dance room. This room also contains a large brick fireplace. The floors on the first and third floors are of quarter-sawed oak and on the second of Birdseye maple.”
