Being on the National Register of Historic Places, there’s a rich history to this home if you’d like to go on a deep dive. Some of the highlights from the 30+ page document are:

• Architect Jamieson Parker also did the First Unitarian Church and St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Portland as well as the Belmont Library. This home was his last design before his “untimely death.”
• Parker designed thoughtful touches of functionality into the home like closets with lighting and shelving. The coat closet by the front door has a built-in umbrella holder with a drain hole for water runoff and the opposite closet has a tiny desk top with a drawer for the mail.
• William A. Haseltine (the home’s namesake resident) was active in Portland civic life in PDX. He ran a hardware company. 1918 graduate of U of Oregon.
• Haseltine grew a victory garden in the backyard in WWII.
• In 1947 there was a political cocktail party here which featured then-Republican Oregon senator Wayne Morse. (He later switched to the Democratic party and was vehemently opposed to the Vietnam War.)
• At one point the home was given to the Society of the Sisters of the Holy Name of Jesus and Mary in 1974.
