Lamb lived in his American Towers Plaza apartment, at 2211 S.W. To start with Ave., device 1602, for far more than 15 decades, says Kristin Gillis of Premiere Home Group. His residence, on a person of the prime ranges of the 18th-tale Lincoln Tower, has 9-foot-higher ceilings and other penthouse facilities, she claims.
Lamb created his 1,876-sq.-foot condo to replicate his Previous Environment flavor: French wallpaper, mirrored partitions, built-in shelves and a personalized hearth with flecked black marble.
Jerry Lamb Interiors & Antiques on Macadam Avenue showcased items from American Federal to 18th century French and Italian intervals.
Lamb was regarded as the most sought just after interior designer for Portland modern society starting in the 1970s, according to Steve Maker and Harvey Freer, longtime entrepreneurs of Portland’s Cultured Pearl artwork and antique gallery.
Maker and Freer said Lamb was extremely knowledgable in high-quality antiques, especially the Asian arts, and had a quite keen eye.
