| The Irvington Neighborhood has been designated as a National Register Historic District as of October 22, 2010. But even before that designation, 28 Irvington properties had been individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to their historic value to Portland. The individually listed properties are shown in the table below, with links to more details about each one.

Please remember that all of these properties are privately owned and the residences especially are not normally open to the general public.
Until 2008 National Register listed properties in Oregon which participated in the Special Assessment Program were required to be open to the public one day per year. Unfortunately for old house enthusiasts, that requirement is no longer in force, and there is no more schedule of historic property open houses published by the State Historic Preservation Office. But stay tuned to this Irvington Home Tour website, as National Register listed properties are frequently included in the homes open for the Tour.
* Documentation supporting the nomination of each property to the National Register is on file at the State Historic Preservation Office in Salem. These provided the basis of each history given in this website. Additional sources included Roy Roos' book The History and Development of Portland's Irvington Neighborhood and the Webmaster's research in Portland architectural history.
** "Historic Names" are designated by the State of Oregon Office of Historic Preservation and help indicate the people or characteristics that make the home or building historically interesting.
