  • Municipal Elevator the MUNICIPAL ELEVATOR 1915
    NATIONAL REGISTER of HISTORIC PLACES Municipal Elevator THE MUNICIPAL ELEVATOR 1915 THE OREGON CITY MUNICIPAL ELEVATOR is a 130-foot-tall, public elevator tower rising from an underground tunnel in downtown Oregon City to connect with the city’s second level atop a bluff to the east. The elevator is a Modern, reinforced concrete structure designed by Gordon E. Trapp (1915-2009) of the engineering firm, Stevens & Thompson of Portland, Oregon. It was constructed by the Portland engineering firm, James & Yost in 1955. The elevator was designed to be fu- turistic in style and to incorporate minimal ornament. From downtown, the elevator is accessed through a tunnel aligned with the intersection of 7th Street and Railroad Avenue or via a tunnel that runs east under the Union Pacific railroad tracks at the base of Singer Hill. Metal elevator doors are embedded in the tunnel’s eastern wall. These doors access a staffed Otis elevator that rises through the elevator’s narrow, cylindrical shaft into the center of an observatory. The horseshoe-shaped observatory has canted walls and large windows offering un- obstructed views of the city below, including the Willamette Falls to the south. From the observation deck, pedestrians exit east to the paved McLoughlin Promenade, a linear park with a concrete pathway that runs north and south along the edge of the bluff. The elevator is backed by the natural vegeta- tion and basalt outcroppings of the bluff, and is constructed of reinforced lightweight concrete. Routine maintenance has occurred over the years, but the tunnel, shaft and observa- tion deck retain excellent integrity of design, materials, work- manship, site, location, feeling and association.

A second leg of the Grand Stair- case, known as the Singer Hill Road underpass, crosses below Singer Hill to the east of the Promenade, and rises through two short flights of stairs to the grassy lawns surrounding the McLoughlin House.

Our application is for Willamette Falls Shared Use Path & OR 99E Corridor Enhancement Project, an Active Transportation Project located in downtown Oregon City. The scope of work is for Project Development, which will include Alternatives Identification & Evaluation, Preliminary Design (30%), Stakeholder Engagement and Environmental Clearances. In 2005 the included McLoughlin Boulevard Enhancement Plan was adopted. This plan completed the Planning Phase as well as Alternatives Identification & Evaluation for the corridor. The City has successfully implemented the first two phases of McLoughlin Boulevard, using this plan. This remaining portion of the McLoughlin Boulevard Enhancement Plan located between 10th Street and the tunnel has been the most complicated to complete as it is interwoven with the OR 99E viaducts. As replacement of the viaduct seems to be falling off any future project lists, Oregon City sees a vital need take a step back and re-evaluate options to complete the remaining critical pedestrian & bicycle gaps along this corridor. In 2005 the plan assumed the viaducts would be replaced in the near future, which would have allowed the cross sections identified in the 2005 plan to be implemented between 8th Street & 10th Street.

The decision of the Historic Review Board is appealable to the City Commission within fourteen days of the issuance of the final decision.
