The Brick House Beautiful is a historic house located in northeast Portland, Oregon, United States. It was built in 1922–1923 to be a model house showcasing the product line of the Standard Brick & Tile Company, based in Portland. It was also a demonstration project for the brick hollow-wall method of construction, newly introduced in the Portland market to reduce cost and improve affordability of brick houses.{{Citation | last1 = Young | first1 = Morgen | date = June 28, 2011 | title = National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Brick House Beautiful | url = http://heritagedata.prd.state.or.us/historic/index.cfm?do=main.loadFile&load=NR_Noms/11001063.pdf | url-status = live | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20200421223820/http://heritagedata.prd.state.or.us/historic/index.cfm?do=main.loadFile&load=NR_Noms%2F11001063.pdf | archivedate = April 21, 2020 | accessdate = April 20, 2020 | format = PDF }}.{{cite web|url=http://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/brick_house_beautiful/|title=Brick House Beautiful|publisher=Oregon Encyclopedia|accessdate=February 9, 2012|first=Morgen Alix|last=Young}}
