The Simon Benson House on the PSU Campus

The Simon Benson House is one of the newest "old" additions to the Portland State University campus. The 1900 Queen Anne-style home was moved to campus January 16, 2000, and restored to its original splendor. Now home to the PSU Alumni Association and the university's Visitor's Center, the Benson House serves as a meeting place and resource center for both the campus and the community.
