The Morris Marks House is a house located in southwest Portland, Oregon listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3] It is located in the Goose Hollow neighborhood, just southwest of downtown Portland. Designed by Portland architect Warren Heywood Williams in an Italianate style, the house was built for Morris Marks, a Portland shoe merchant of Polish descent, in 1882.[4] It was originally located at S.W. 11th Avenue and Clay Street, but in the early 1900s was moved to 1501 S.W. Harrison Street, where it has remained ever since.[4]

Broadway and Grant in 2017,[5] has been vacant and boarded-up for several years, and is not listed on the National Register.[4]
