Cook in August 1907. He built both 924 N. Revere St. and 3240 N. Michigan the larger was his, 924 the smaller a mother in law house. He, a Norwegian worked as a dock off loader at North Pacific Lumber Co.<br />The Bjornson family owned 924 in the twenties and operated the Viking Grocery at Fremont and Mississippi, above which was the coffin maker. Bjorn, Lena and their daughter Arnietta all worked at the grocery, now the Sons of Haiti Masonic Lodge.

Revere St. and the maker of the "homebrewed" Historic Cook's Addition Revere St. sign I have archived the houses and the non-improved Revere St. debacle. When we bought the house in 1999 the 106 Revere St. Albina numbers were still above the front door from 1932.
