Seen from the sidewalk along Lincoln Street, the 1907 Craftsman-style house in Southeast Portland, Ore., looks entirely traditional, with its covered porch, shake siding and exposed roof beams.

But a careful observer will notice a few unusual details. Parked out front is a 1980s black Cadillac limousine, one of several retro vehicles — including a Revcon motor home and a Nash Rambler — that belong to the owners. More startling is the western side of the house, where a cluster of glass cubes protrude from the walls of the old home.

As Doug Skidmore, of Beebe Skidmore, the architecture firm that renovated the house, pointed out, those cubes are “only 10 percent of the outside wall.” But the visual impact is a lot bigger, and the statement they make is clear: This is not a typical antique house.

Then again, there’s nothing conventional about the owners.
