| Building Notes | Born and educated in England, Edward Osborn arrived in Seattle about 1910 and worked as a delineator for several well-known architectural firms. From 1920-1930, he occasionally worked as an independant designer. Osborn was known especially for his watercolor renderings. The National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother, a 62-acre Catholic Shrine and botanical garden, is located at the junction of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers in Portland, Oregon. The Grotto (as it is commonly called) is a non-profit Oregon corporation administered by the Friars of the Order of Servants of Mary. The community was formed in 1923 and the Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother opened a year later. Due to a destructive fire in 1985, the property was redesigned and now bears little resemblence to this early drawing. |
