The Sprague Marshall Bowie house was built in 1882 and was originally located at NW Everett and 17th Streets.  In 1904 the home was relocated to its current location at NW Johnson and 22nd Street.  The Italianate style house is one of two of the earliest homes of the style still standing in Portland.  The Sprague Marshall Bowie house contributes to the historic character of the neighborhood and has been carefully cared for by each owner.

In 1880 the west half of Block 151, Couch’s Addition was purchased by John Marshall from Mary H Couch, youngest daughter of Captain John H Couch, pioneer sea captain and city developer.  Two years later, Captain Clark Woods Sprague, believed to be the father of John Marshall’s wife, Sarah, acquired two of the lots where he built two houses.  The Marshall family lived in the house until 1902 when it was sold to Henry A Moore, Secretary-Treasurer of Moore Investment Company.  Two years later the house was moved to its present site and sold to Charles W Bowie
