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]

Prior to owning this house, Marks owned another house in Portland that was also designed by Warren Williams, also in an Italianate style, but was somewhat smaller.^[4] It was built in 1880. That house, once located at 1134 S.W. 12th Avenue in downtown Portland, but cut in half and moved to a very small lot at S.W. Broadway and Grant in 2017,^[5] has been vacant and boarded-up for several years, and is not listed on the National Register.^[4]
