The Jacobs–Wilson House, also known as the Tabor Swiss Chalet, is a 1913 Swiss Chalet-style residence in Portland, Oregon, built on the west slope of Mount Tabor. Constructed as a two-and-a-half-story wood-frame structure on a native stone foundation, it was the first house erected on Thorburn Avenue in what would become a notable residential neighborhood. The house is said to have been designed according to plans from Switzerland, fulfilling a request made by Bolina Jacobs to her son Frederick Alva Jacobs. Its commanding location offers expansive views across the Willamette River valley toward Portland's west hills. Recognized for its architectural and historical significance, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
