History

Established in 1992.

Acker & Associates P.C. moved to the Figo House in 2005 to accommodate its growing practice. The building allows the firm to remain in downtown Portland but also provide parking and convenient access for clients. Built in 1894, the building was described by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) as a good example of a vernacular Queen Ann house.

TriMet, a local transportation development authority, sought to acquire the house through the use of its eminent domain powers. TriMet argued that it needed the land for public transportation purposes. TriMet had already begun the Portland Mall Project, consisting of the construction of tracks for a new MAX train running through the heart of downtown Portland and parallel to the Willamette River. TriMet intended to request additional funds from the Federal Transit Administration to acquire the property and demolish the house.
