The Harry F. Wentz Studio, also known as the Harry F. Wentz Studio-Bungalow and Studio Neah-Kah-Nie, is a historic house located in the Neahkahnie community near Manzanita, Oregon, United States. Designed by artist Harry F. Wentz and architect A. E. Doyle and built circa 1916, this bungalow came to be regarded as a prototype of the Northwest Regional style of architecture. Some of the characteristic features of the house include: colors and materials associated with the Northwest, especially timber; low massing with simple wall surfaces; porches with slender wooden supports; and siting to harmonize with the surrounding landscape. The style was later more fully developed by John Yeon and Doyle's colleague Pietro Belluschi. [1]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cora Bryant Wheeler House</span> Historic building in Portland, Oregon, U.S.

The Cora Bryant Wheeler House, also known as the Mrs. Coleman H. Wheeler House, is a historic house located in Portland, Oregon, United States. Architect A. E. Doyle designed this 1923 Arts and Crafts house to take full advantage of its prominent and demanding ridgetop location. The land was purchased by Coleman and Cora in 1918 from the Frank Dekum family. The house's complex lines and massing articulating the shape of the hill, and notably including a significant amount of lumber from the Wheelers' own timberlands in the Coast Range, the Wheeler House became an important later addition to the portfolio that made Doyle one of Portland's leading architects. Junior partner Pietro Belluschi and apprentice Richard Sundeleaf, each of whom later became a significant architect in his own right, provided on-site construction supervision. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
