They were also successful businesswomen, employing 50 to 100 seamstresses and producing enough surplus to invest in real estate. The sisters lived in this c. 1906 Craftsman house, originally built for their brother Fred, from 1912, through retirement in 1918, and until their deaths. While their shop in downtown Portland is no longer extant, this house serves as the most important remaining site related to their prominent careers. One of their investment properties, The Shogren Building, still exists and is managed by Anne and May's great nephew Andy Munson. The Oregon Historical Society holds their business records and several of their dresses, gowns, and riding habits in its collections.
