One of the biggest appeals of "Western Solitude," a show of 25-odd paintings scattered through the Portland mansion's rooms, is less nostalgic than historic: Parrott (1843-1915), who headed west from Missouri into the Oregon Territory on a covered wagon when he was 4, was one of Portland's first professional artists.
