Complete Application.Pdf UUCWF New Signage Narrative February 22, 2018 Unitarian Universalist Church at Willamette Falls (UUCWF), formerly known as Atkinson Memorial Church (AMC), 710 Sixth Street, makes this application for posting two signs on our building. This is a historic building on the National Register of Historic Places and within a historic neighborhood (McLaughlin), and is zoned MUC. The pictures we have submitted with this application show the locations, size, and look and feel of the proposed signs. Obviously, you will note, the picture shows actual banners, not signs. When we hung these banners (known as “Welcome Banners” internally), we were unaware that banners are prohibited from being placed on historic building. Our view initially was that they would be temporary, a lengthy temporary, though (1-2 years is the current vision). Our current proposal is to comply completely with all signage requirements. To that end, we propose to remove the existing banners and to remount them on a rigid backing and to frame them in a durable frame material, which would then be painted whatever color the HRB considers most desirable1. The current concept is a stainless steel frame, roughly 2 inches wide, 1 inch of overlap, all the way around the banner with the overall thickness in the range of 1 inch. The sign would be mounted with hidden clips behind the top edge and a single bolt in the bottom edge. The clips would be attached to the building using concrete bolts (“tap-cons”). The bolt in the bottom edge would also (likely) be a tap-con. Please notice in the pictures that the planned location does not interfere with any significant architectural features. We believe the placement looks natural and more obviously identifies the entrances with just enough color to draw the eye but not enough to look out of place. They are also deliberately placed outside the normal range of vandals and thieves.2 1 We propose brown that complements the coral brown (aka ”pink”) exterior. Alternatively, flat black, or coral brown or white (to match the sign) 2 We often have outdoor property stolen, defaced, or destroyed. Staff initially presented a concern with this plan and the attachment method, believing that the building exterior is stucco. We, too, have seen documents that describe the building surface as stucco, but it is not. The surface is a skim coat of concrete applied directly on the solid concrete understructure. There are many holes in the exterior of this building that are original to the building and I, personally, have drilled many more and feel qualified to testify as to its construction. Further, this building has been poorly maintained over the last 95 years and has many water intrusion issues. Delamination of the exterior surface (or any other defect) has not occurred anywhere on the structure. We believe the proposed attachment method is very sound and will not contribute to any future deterioration. Humbly submitted, Scott Silver, Facilities Chairperson UUCWF 710 Sixth Street Oregon City, Oregon 97045 503-656-7296 office 503-522-5727 cell Addendum for UUCWF Sign Applicaton to the HRB For exterior alterations of historic sites in an historic district or conservation district or individual landmark, the criteria to be used by the board in reaching its decision on the certificate of appropriateness shall be: 3. The economic use of the historic site and the reasonableness of the proposed alteration and their relationship to the public interest in the structure's or landmark's preservation or renovation; This property houses a church congregation as it has since 1925. The church congregation is thriving at approximately 180 adult members with about 100 kids registered in the Sunday education program. The proposed addition of the two relatively small “Welcome” signs better marks the primary entrances to the building in a way that lets the community identify some of the basic values expected of those within. 4. The value and significance of the historic site; (excerpted from the description found in the National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination form and slighted updated here): The 20th Century Gothic church originally occupied by the Congregationalists is a distinctive landmark on Oregon City's upper level. Its Perpendicular style, octagonal tower rising 66 feet above the main, north entrance, is visible over much of the surrounding mixed residential-commercial district. UUCWF (formerly Atkinson Memorial Church) is part of a cluster of public and quasi-public buildings that include the Carnegie Library and new addition directly to the north; a “newly-built” senior center to the west; and, on the block at cater-corners to the northwest, a fire station and Clackamas County Historical Society Museum. The McLoughlin House National Historic Site (including the adjacent Barclay House) is located to the northwest, approximately four blocks distant. Surrounding residential sections (collectively termed the McLoughlin Neighborhood) are dotted with a number of Queen Anne, Stick Style, and Italianate houses surviving from the last quarter of the 19th Century. (More detail can be found on-line in the form. The description is extensive.) 5. The physical condition of the historic site; The property is in excellent condition and the congregation is committed to maintaining it without altering the external historic character of the building. We are looking forward to opening the 100 year old time capsule in 2024! 6. The general compatibility of exterior design, arrangement, proportion, detail, scale, color, texture and materials proposed to be used with the historic site; The signs proposed are small in proportion to the rest of the building. They are placed over each primary entrance in an unadorned spot directly over the relatively massive doors. The signs are visually the same width as the doors and match the centerline of the doors. The signs do not interfere with the gothic arch that surrounds the door; they align nicely with the smaller window above, maintaining the “upward” thrust of the architectural intent. The colors in the signs remarkably well-match the bright stained-glass windows visible in the same view. The smooth finish, painted stainless-steel (or aluminum) frame proposed for the signs will be modern and apparently not original, yet well-matched and well-placed to not feel out-of-place. The provided pictures and mock-up pictures make this apparent. 9. Design guidelines adopted by the historic review board (Secretary of Interior Standards for Preservation): The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The replacement of intact or repairable historic materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. Probably the most important of all the criteria is the above. The proposed signs completely comply with both the wording and intent of the Standards of Preservation listed above. The addition of the signs is a simple bolt-on addition using non-damaging methods consistent with the original construction of the building. The signs in no way impact the historic character of the property. No materials are being replaced, no features moved, altered, or covered to “make room” for the signs, no proportions are being altered. It is our judgment that the placement will be nearly natural.

The building, which measures 84 x 92 feet in plan, was completed in 1925. It was designed in the 20th Century Gothic Style by its architect, Willard F. Tobey. W. D. Andrews Construc­ tion Company of Portland was the builder. The church contains 15 stained glass windows designed and installed by the Povey Brothers Studio of Portland. Originally, the building included two towers: one octagonal, 66 feet tall; the other square, 58 feet tall. The smaller tower was removed in 1958. Most of the building was constructed of poured concrete, except for the towers, which were built of wood and galvanized iron.

  • Reader's Guide to the Mountain Men of the American West
    Reader©s Guide to the Mountain Men of the American West Antoine Clement, by Alfred Jacob Miller Compiled by Stuart Wier October 25, 2010 This is a guide to the best books about the mountain men of the American west which I know about. Anyone can find a book here to suit them: casual readers, students, enthusiasts, reenactors, and historians. I include a few less distinguished books, too, when they are the only thing about a topic. For some fifteen years -- roughly speaking, 1823 to 1838 and beyond -- the western U.S. was the domain of the mountain men, fur trappers who spent years traveling and living in the wilderness. Long before wagon trains, settlers, gold rushes, cavalry, Indian wars, cowboys, wild west towns, or railroads, mountain men were the first from the U.S. to see the Rocky Mountains and the lands from the plains to the Pacific. Their life was highly free and adventuresome, and often dangerous and short, lived in a shining wilderness. Where to begin? Many books, many choices. For a readable and short introduction try Give Your Heart to the Hawks by Winfred Blevins. For detailed histories try A Life Wild and Perilous by Robert M. Utley or the classic history Across the Wide Missouri by Bernard DeVoto. Or try some of the best biographies, such as Westering Man The Life of Joseph Walker by Bil Gilbert and Jedediah Smith and the Opening of the West by Dale L. Morgan. For adventures or "camp fire tales" try the personal journals and narratives written by some of the mountain men themselves.

He gives the ancestral background ofJohn Grey as well as his connection to the fur industry and to the spread ofChristianity among some Indians. He was active in the fur industry longer than most men. 4.

I have always had an innate fascination with place names and so I inquired locally as to the origin of the name. No one for sure really knew. My first clue came from a highway sign at Wayan, Idaho that in essence said John Gray or Grey was an Iroquois Indian that trapped this area 1816-18 and Grays lake was named after him. This piqued my senses since this was not Iroquois country, so I had to learn more.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by The State H istorical Society ef Colorado Vol. XXIX Denver, Colorado, April, 1952 Number 2 " Queen Ann" of Brown's Park .ANN BASSETT Wn,Lrs INTRODUCTION (BY VALENTINE FITZPA'fRICK) Women who dared the frontier at its worst were few. True, there were many pioneer mothers whose deeds of heroism were the quiet kind, that went unsung. Of those who met the West on its own terms, dealt back as good as they received, asked no sanctuary because they were women, so bringing bright glory to their age and sex, the number may easily be counted. 'fhey were a brave few. History and romance have immortalized but a small number of these . .And among them, none exceeds in daring, intelligence, glamor and honor-Queen .Ann. Child of the West, born to a family that grappled with the West in its roughest, toughest days and tamed it, was .Ann Bassett. I1ike an antelope she was born running, and like an antelope takes to water, she took to education, knowledge and experience-while moving. There was nothing static in .Ann Bassett's career. Born in a dirt-covered log cabin, where the nearest neighbors were miles dis­ tant and schoolhouses were unknown, she nevertheless came to shine in the most erudite company, to wear the manner and grace of the elite, yet never losing touch nor sympathy with the land and the people of her native hills. In more ways than one she earned the title by which she was known from prairie to ocean and from the land of the Rio Grande to .Athabasca.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XXVll Denver, Colorado, July, 1950 No. 3 With Fur Traders in Colorado, 1839-40 The Journal of E. Willard Smith 'VITH AN INTRODUCTION AND KOTES BY LEROY R. HAFEN The Journal of E. ""Willard Smith is one of the best records of conditions and activity in the Colorado region during fur trade days. The short-lived trading posts on the South Platte are pictured in operation. The chief actors, now almost legendary, are seen with their ox- and mule-drawn wagons, hauling and packing trade goods to supply their posts and conducting trade with the roving Indians. Mr. Smith takes us over the Santa Fe Trail from the outfitting point of Independence, Missouri, to Bent's Fort on the Arkansas. Then we travel northward over the divide and down the South Platte to the adobe trading post of Fort Vasquez, near present Platteville. Leaving wagons behind, we journey on horseback and with pack-laden mules over the mountains, across North Park, down the Little Snake and to Fort Davy Crockett in the favorite trapper winter resort of wall-encircled Brown's Hole on Green River. Then to escape reprisals from wronged Indians we face midwinter on the continental divide, hole up in drifted snow, and finally emerge with spring at the fort on the South Platte. Then on a mackinaw boat, fashioned from timbers hand-sawed at Fort Vasquez, we place our load of buffalo robes and tongues and commence our voyage down the shallow Platte. After much unloading and re-loading, wading the stream and pulling the boat from sand bars, we finally reach the Missouri and dance upon its muddy flood to reach St.
