The Eastman–Shaver House is a house located in northwest Portland, Oregon, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]

The 32-room house was built in 1928 for Watson Eastman, who founded Western Cooperage Company, a pioneer of mechanization in the forest products industry, and also owned Hawley Pulp and Paper Company. [3] Its second owner was Leonard R. Shaver, who was affiliated with the Shaver Transportation Company,[3] serving as its vice president starting in 1922, and later becoming its president in 1950 and chairman of the board in 1967.[4]

The property sold in January 2018 for almost $7 million. The sale set a new record for the highest amount ever paid for a home and property in Multnomah County.[3]

The property includes formal gardens designed by noted landscape architect George H. Otten.[3]
