 Originally conceived of by Art Simonson and Gerhardt (Gay) Stabney (the “Ar” and “Gay” of Argay) as a “move-up” suburban family neighborhood alternative to Portland's congested inner-city, Argay Terrace built out as planned with larger, better quality homes on large lots spread out over the gently sloping terrain that gave the area an open feeling and many of its homes stunning views of Mt.Hood and Mt.St.
