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.[3][4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[5]
