The Roy E. and Hildur L. Amundsen House is a historic house in Gresham, Oregon, United States. Built in 1961 in a mid-century neighborhood, it is a highly intact example of a home designed in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright. An almost complete expression of Wright's principles for Usonian homes, it was designed by Harold Amundsen, the son of the original owners, while he was an architecture student at the University of Oregon, and hand-built by him and his grandfather Hans B. Grevstad. Consulting architects included Barney E. Grevstad, Harold's uncle who was a successful Seattle architect with numerous works in the Modern style, and Burton J. Goodrich, one of Wright's former Taliesin apprentices.[1]
