The John M. and Elizabeth Bates House No. 4 is a historic house in
Lake Oswego,
Oregon,
United States. It is the fourth and final residence designed by architect
Wade Pipes (1877–1961) for his friends John and Elizabeth Bates, and the penultimate and finest commission of his career. In it, Pipes designed not only the building but also the landscape, furnishings, and interior finishes, representing the culmination of his work as a pivotal figure in the
Arts and Crafts movement in Oregon, while also giving a nod to the
Northwest Regional style. Built in 1954 on a lot fronting
Oswego Lake, it is distinguished by clean, flowing lines, attention to its setting, a rubblestone wall buffering it from the nearby street, one of Pipes' signature bay windows, a central courtyard, and other features.

The house was added to the
National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
[.] By 2018, most of the house's significant features were either significantly deteriorated or gone altogether, including the complete loss of Pipes' custom furniture and built-ins. This loss of integrity prompted the owner to petition for it to be removed from the National Register.
[. Petition to remove from the National Register, draft for consideration by the Oregon State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation.]
