Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects Box 01 1.01 1868-1980 Adolph-Gill Bldgs The materials in this folder relate to the buildings owned and occupied by J.K. Gill & Co. and by Sam Adolph. These two buildings are in the heart of the original business district of Salem. The Gill Building (1868) is west of the Adolph Block (1880), and they share a staircase. The Gill building was later referred to as the Paulus Building, as it was acquired by Christopher Paulus in 1885; both Robert and Fred Paulus were born upstairs in the building. The Adolph Building was erected by Sam Adolph following a fire that destroyed the wooden buildings on the site; the architect was J.S. Coulter.

References to articles in the Daily American Unionist from April 23, 1868 through September 8, 1868 describe the four new brick buildings under construction on State and Commercial Streets. Thes buildings are the intended new homes for the businesses of J.K. Gill & Co., Charley Stewart, Durbin & Co., and Governor Wood's new dwelling. Progress is periodically described. Finally, the first ten days of September, 1868, the moves appear complete and advertisements indicate the items they will carry. Another article in the September 8, 1868 issue indicates that Story and Thompson are moving a house lately occupied by J.K. Gill and Co. to the eastern edge of the lot so that when it is time to construct additional brick buildings, there will be space. The house had been built by Wiley Kenyon; once very tasteful premises had recently been used for trade and the grounds would soon be covered by brick block. Businesses and individuals mentioned include: Wiley Kenyon, Sayers and Buckley, Helm and Co., G.W. Gray and Co., Charley Stewart, Durbin and Co., and Governor Woods.

On January 1, 1870, when J.K Gill had just opened in Salem, the Statesman contained an advertisement for the products to be carried.

From January 2 through 23, 1880, the Weekly Oregon Statesman included advertisements for J.S. Clouter, architect and builder, located on Commercial Street between Court and Chemeketa.

On June 18, 1880, the Weekly Oregon Statesman describes the fire of June 16 that started in W.P. Johnson's photograph gallery and burned the businesses of J.I. Thompson, Smith & Millican, A. Kramer, I. Moores, and W.P. Johnson. On June 25, 1880, the Weekly Oregon Statesman announced that Mr. J.I. Thompson had sold the land upon which three burnt buildings were standing to Sam Adolph. Mr. Adolph intended to erect a large brick building that would occupy the ground between Mr. G.W. Gray's brick and the corner brick buildings. Another article in the same issue states that Adolph and Smith intend to build 3 stores on State Street.

On July 23, 1880, the Weekly Oregon Statesman announced that Coulter had just finished the plans for Adolph and Smith's buildings.

On October 7, 1880, an article in the Oregon Daily Statesman describes the collalpse of the roof of the Smith, Thompson and Adolph brick building becasuse it had not been sufficiently braced. Businesses affected included: Mr. Snyder's book bindery, Mr. Waite's printing office. The repairs were expected to be completed thenext morning.

On November 27, 1880, the Oregon Daily Statesman announced that Sam Adolph had just returned from where he went to purchase cigars and liquers for his new saloon. In the same issue, the druggists Messers Belt & Co. had secured the agency for Slaven's Famous . John Hughes' store and their pre-holiday inventory are also mentioned.

On December 22, 1880, the Oregon Daily Statesman described the holiday windows through Commercial and State Streets, naming Frank McDowell's, Weatherford's, Belt and Co., the Pioneer Store of John G. Wright, Mr. W.W. Martin (jewelry), H.D. Boon's (books), and T.C. Smith.

On December 31, 1880, the new brick building erected by Adolph and Smith was nearing completion. Their building on State Street had been leased to Mr. J.H. Coulter. Other occupants would be Smith and Millican (butcher shop), and Sam Adolph (saloon).

In January ,1978, David Duniway prepared the National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Forms for the Gill (J.K.) Building, located at 356 State Street and the Adolph Building located at 360-372 State Street. At that time, Fred

Page 1 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects Paulus, son of Christopher Paulus, was the owner of the Gill Building and James A. & Dorothy A. Henry owned the Adolph property. The review of the nomination for National Register for the Bill Building and the Adolph block took place on January 18, 1978. The two buildings were cited to be demolished for parking structures, and delays in approval of the National Register nominations occurred until the City Council approved different plans for the parking structure on Commercial Street behind the Lipman and J.C. Penney department stores. There is no indication in the folder of the final approval date for National Register listing for the buildings. There are numerous news articles from the Capitol Journal and regarding the struggles over parking sites in Salem that delayed this process through 1978.

On April 15, 1980, an Oregon Journal article reported that Richard G. Montgomery, the eldest gransdon of J.K. Gill, and great-grandson of Dr. William H. Willson had died on April 12. On June 15, 1980, the Sunday Oregonian announced that Mark Gill, the last of the Gill family, was retiring from his job in the J.K. Gill Building in downtown .

Samuel Adolph, the builder of the house, was an immigrant from near Berlin, ; he came to Salem in 1867 from and entered into the brewery business with John Brown. By 1968, Adolph was on his own as a brewere, which laid the foundation of his business career. He eventually built various business blocks in Salem and ran a saloon.

Box 04 1.03 1911-1990 Endicott, Samuel M. House, 675 Church Street NE

Samuel Endicott was the original President of the Turner State Bank when it was organized in 1911. He served as the Vice President of the Salem Bank of Commerce from 1915 to 1916; this bank was acquired by First National Bank in 1929. Endicott, and W.W. Rosebraugh acquired the Anderson Steel Furnace and Boiler Works in Salem through a sheriff's sale; and as a partnership under the name W.W. Rosebraugh Co., they manufactured fruit drying and packing machinery and house heating plants; and they repaired boilers, smoke stacks and tanks. After a fire in 1922, Endicott was bought out by Rosebraugh. Endicott's wife, Hallie, was Turner's first and only woman Mayor (1939-1941). Endicott also practiced law in Salem, and his major client was Louis Turner whose family benefactors included the Turner Memorial Home, the grounds of the Oregon Christian Church Missionary Convention and its Tabernacle, and the Christian Church in Turner. The Samuel M. Endicott house is a detached Colonial Revival house, built in 1911 or 1912; it is one of the few examples of Colonial Revival houses in Salem. The house was built in what must have been the garden of the Peter D'Arcy house. Other residents of the Endicott house included: Dr. and Mrs. Edgar S. Fortner (1933-1936), Grover W. Hillman (1936-1937); Mr. and Mrs. H. Clay Taylor (1938-1942). In 1945, the house became the Park Apartments and there have been a long series of renters since then. Notes from interviews conducted by David Duniway regarding the Endicott house and the Turner family are included. Interviewees were: Harold Rosebraugh (son of William), Arthur W. Smithers (assistant cashier at Salem Bank of Commerce), a neighbor who reported the house had been modified by Mrs. Lenore Parks, Mrs. Alva Lyda from Turner Memorail Home, and Ed DeWeese from the Oregon Christian Convention. The National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for the Endicott House, prepared by David Duniway, in 1977 is present. Mrs. Evelyn Scott Ferris was the owner of the property at that time. The nomination was deferred until rehabilitation was completed, and Mrs. Ferris decided not to pursue the application any further. An article from South Salem News "Endicott House has had many uses" from February 14, 1984 is included. At this time, the house was owned by Mary Shannon, and could be rented for events.

Page 41 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects Box 04 1.04 1840-1974 Equitable Building Site The materials in this folder trace the prior occupants/owners of the site that was purchased by the Equitable Tower Building Association in 1974. Owners/occupants had included: the Methodist Mission (1840-1844); Oregon Insitutute (1844-1846); Dr. and Mrs. William H. Wilson, 1/3 of the property, with the remainder given back to the Oregon Insitute (1846-1852); in 1852 Oregon Insitute became Willamette University. The Equitable Tower occupies Block 4, lots 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the original townsite. Lot 5 on the corner of Chemeketa Street was sold to J.W. Nesmith in1853. Lot 6 was sold to William Phillips in 1855. Lots 7 and 8 were sold to P.D. Palmer and Charles Hoffesommer in 1858 and 1859. J.G. and Elizabeth Wilson built on Lot 5 between 1857 and 1864; later Joseph Moore, County Treasurer, lived there. Charles S. Weller built a house on a corner of this lot by 1896. A house was built on Lot 6 by Harrison Smith by 1865, and this later became the property of George W. Johnson, who added a second house after the turn of the century. In 1867, the First Christian Church acquired Lot 8 and built a "little brick church" that was replaced by a larger church in 1907 that was subsequently demolished in 1951. In the 1920's the houses on High Street began to be replaced by garages. The first on Lot 7, was occupied by Capitol Motors and later (1930) owned by Wood Wheaton Motor Co., next by James H. Maden & Co. (1934), by Raymond Motor Services (1936) and then Elsner Motors (1945). At the other end of the block, a garage was built by 1940 and occupied by State Motors, Inc.. The 4-lot site was leased to Commonwealth, Inc. in 1961 and 1965; later to GAC Salem Realty, then acquired by the Equitable Tower Building Association in 1974.

Box 04 1.05 1862-1971 Fair, Oregon State

The first Oregon State Fair was held on October 1-4, 1861 on the north bank of the Clackamas River, half a mile north of Oregon City, and half a mile from the mouth of the river. When the flood of 1861 wiped out the previous fair site along the north bank of the Clackamas River, John Minto offered $1200 to build a fence around the eight-acre Salem site of the Marion County Agricultural Society if the State Fair would move to Salem. The Oregon State Agricultural Society voted on September 30, 1862 to bring the State Fair to Salem. John Minto was an early promoter of the State Fair. The first Salem fair lost $3600 due to poor attendance, blamed on the rain. Electricity was brought to the fairgrounds in 1900. No plumbing existed at the fair site until the early 1900's. The fair did not operate in 1905 during the Lewis & Clark Exposition in Portland; the snow storm of 1937 collapsed the major buildings; and the fair did not operate during World War II. Excerpts from the September 15, 1862, September 23, 1862, September 29, 1862 and October 6, 1862, Oregon Statesman papers describe performances and activities that were planned for the fair. A copy of "Camping Great Stuff at Early State Fairs" from The Statesman, August 31, 1951 describes camping at state fairs across the country from as far back as 1861, and the article features a photograph from about 1912, of Isaac Sawyer, Ruth Read, Echo Marvel Read and Mrs. Slias Read. An article "Conflict in Fairgrounds History" from the Capital Press Farm Editor, August 27, 1971 compared current fairground ownership and configuration and changes over the years. A Statesman Journal article "State Fair Evolution Interesting Over 100 Years" from September 8, 1964 describes produce, livestock and other exhibits that have evolved over the last 100 years. A Capital Press article "Early promoter of state fair" from August 22, 1980 describes the role of John Minto and others in establishing and promoting the State Fair in Salem. Early fair names of note, in addition to John Minto, are J.L. Parrish, John B. Roberts, R.C. Geer, James McNary (grandfather to Senator Charles L. McNary), Thomas Cross, H.W. Eddy, Dr. L.S. Skiff (special notice diploma for best set of artificial teeth mounted on gold plate"), T.T. Eyre, Mrs. M.C. Geer, L. Behrens, Isabella Laughlin, Emery & Rickey, E.L. Delashmutt, and D. J. Coffey.

In the early fairs, stock was brought from long distances but stock of high pedigrees was not available, so size was the basis of judgement. In the 1880's the purebreeds began to show up, such as Percheron, Clydesdale, Myers, Morgans, Bellfounder breeds. Purebred sheep that appeard were Merinos, Cotswolds, southdown, Leicesters and later the Lincolns, Dorsets and Shropshires. Among the hogs, the razor-backs gave way to the Berkshire, Chester, White, Poland China, then the Duroc Jerseys, Ohio Improved Chester Whites (OIC), and Yorkshires, and later the Cheshires, Essex and Suffolk. . Early cattle were Alderney (Jersey), Ayrshire, Devon, Hereford and Shorthorns; by 1964, Brown Swiss, Angus, Guernseys, and Holsteins had been added, as well as breeds not given premiums, including Brahman, Brangus, Beefmaster, Charolais, Red Angus and Santa Gertrudis. From the 18 classifications of vegetables in the 1861 fair, the 1964 fair had 101 classifications; similarly, grains have grown from 18 to 63 types, and fruits and nuts from 10 to 63 types. State fair managers up to August 1980 included: Bert Lee, Ella Wilson, Max Gehlar, Leo Spitzbart, Howard Maple, Bob Stevens, Lillie Ward and Dwight Butt. The first Fair in Salem had 142 exhibitors, now in the thousands. During 1885, the state fair society put a $7000 mortgage on 178 acres of property. Finally the Oregon State Board of Agriculture assumed all encumbrances for the property; small parcels have since been added to the property, and in 1980 the fairgrounds encompassed 181 acres.

Box 04 1.08 1860-1980 Fire Companies and Fires Salem's first fire engine was built in Boston, Massachusetts, by William C. Hunneman in 1860. Mr. Hunneman learned his original trade as a coppersmith by serving as an apprentice under Paul Revere. Hunneman built hand pumpers that were famous for their light weight and mobility. The fire engine was shipped around the Horn to Portland, Oregon, where it was used by Multnomah Engine Company Number 2. In 1865, Salem purchased the engine from Portland for $1800.

In Salem, the engine was first assigned to Webfoot Engine Company Number 1; later it was reassigned to the Alert Hook and Ladder Company Number 1, Salem's first fire company. In June 1867, the Capital Engine Company Number 1 was created and took charge of the hand pumper.

Capital Engine Company had an active membership of 70 to 80 men, and they used the hand pumper until 1886 when they purchased a steam fire engine. The hand pumper was put into retirement from 1886 to 1901, and was reactivated for use by New Park Hose Team of Salem; a few years later it was put into permanent retirement. In 1967, the Hunneman hand pumper was meticulously restored by members of the Salem Fire Department. Capital Engine Company One was located on State Street near Liberty Street. A description of the work required to use a hand pumper is included. In competition in 1978, 40 men and women pumped our hand pumper at a rate of 300 gallons per minute, shooting a stream of water over 160 feet. At the 1980 West Coast Championship Muster, our hand pumper exceeded its own record by pumping a stream of water 188 feet.

Photostatic copies of Oregon Statesman articles from September 7-11, 1886 describe The Tournament in which Alert Hook and Ladder Company and other fire companies from Oregon participated, with each day's activities and outcomes. John W. Minto was appointed Chief Marshal of the event, and he appointed George H. Burnett as his aid. Colonel A.T. Hawley wrote a poetical adddress of welcome; Chief Engineer Anderson was responsible for assuring that ropes were stretched along Commercial street to keep the crowd back during the races. Professor Diamond furnished the music for the firemen's ball following the event. Marshal Harbord and his assistants were there to clear the streets during the contests. Mayor Skinner delivered the welcoming address to the visiting fire companies, followed by the otehr presentations.

An entry in the Oregon Statesman on December 24, 1914, reports that Old Tiger fire engine, no longer in service, was used to pump water over the ice on the Willamette Slough to make a better skating surface, as the ice had been badly cut by the skating during the past week.

Box 04 1.09 1886-1983 Forstner (Benjamin) Store Building, First National Bank Block, 241 & 247 Commercial Street NE The Forstner Store Building was part of Salem's first private co-operative redevelopment, in which a brick building replaced the original wooden commercial sturctures. Benjamin Forstner used the store on the south end of the building as his own general store, and the other was first leased to J.J. Dalyrimple for a dry goods store. The new building was first occupied in 1887. Between 1905 and 1911, 247 Commercial was leased to a series of music stores: Jacob Wenger; Sherman, Clay and Co; and Salem Music Store. In 1927, Daniel J. Fry modernized the outside of 247 Commercial. From 1958 to 1976, the store was used by St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic charity, to provide used furniture, clothing and similar items to the city's needy; at the same time, the second floor housed the offices for the Catholic Charities of Marion and Polk Counties. Floor plans are present from 1972, while the Catholic Center for Community Charities was using the building.

Articles referenced from the Oregon Daily Statesman from 1886 and 1887 describe plans for the building and progress. One photostat copy of an article lists the bids for construction. References from 1888 describe busineses the Bank Block, in which the Forstner Building was located; the businesses included: A. E. Strang , agent for Richardson & Boynton Co's heating furnaces, T.J. Cherrington billed as Salem's leading photographer, E.L.L. Johnson with staple and dry goods and ladies fancy furnishings, and First National Bank established in 1883.

The nomination form for National Register of Historic Places Inventory for the Benjamin Forstner Store Building was submitted in May 1981. The building is a two-story brick masonry structure, built as a store and office building. Located at 241 & 247 Commercial Street NE, it is Italiante in style, with an elaborate bracketed cornice below a sloping roof with diamond shingles. The property was placed in the National Register in 1982. The property was owned by Sue and John Honey, Jr. at the time of the application.

Benjamin Forstner and his family were members of the Aurora Colony, and appear to have been in the second migration of 1863, which arrived via the Isthmus of Panama route. By 1874, Benjamin was in Salem. He married Louise Snyder; their only child was an adopted niece of Mr. Forstner. His participation in a co-operative development project to eliminate the early wooden business buildings appears to be a logical step for one who had lived in a co-operative society. The architect , Holly A. Cornell, was the son of William Cornell, Oregon Trail pioneer of 1852. His work history is described in the National Register nomination. Cornell's obituary notice is included. A transcription of Benjamin Forstner's obituary from the Oregon Statesman, February 28, 1897, is present.

A list of deaths from the DAR of Marion County includes the following individuals: Benjamin Forstner, Julia Anne Forstner, Paul Crandall, Orlenal J. Crandall, Alberta Jory, Thomas and M.C. Jory, Ulysses Bliss Jory, Melissa Jory, Nannie S. Thomas, J.I. Thomas, Alice Robertson Jory, Chester O. Smith, Frank J. Smith, Frederick Smith, S.R. Sturgis, Anna Wilson Reed Jones, George Homer Jones, Matthias Swegle, and Sarah Swegle.

Benjamin Forstner was the inventor of the celebrated Forstner Flange Bit, or Webfoot Auger, which was manufactured by the Colt Company of Bridgeport, . He received recognition for this invention at the 1876 and 1893 World's Fairs. He also invented an electric motor for which he obtained 3 patents. In each instance, Forstner assigned a half interst to someone else, and the last time to James Walton of Salem. Photostat copies of the patents are present in the folder. Forstner built a home near the Forstner Building, and also owned farm property in Polk County and timber property near Gates. A transcription of his obituary is also present.

An article from the Statesman Journal, September 15, 1982, identifies the 5 finalists chosen to paint murals on the walls of some downtown Salem buildings. The winners were: Mel Blanchard, Laura A. Shelton, Jim Shull, Frank DeSantis, and Julie A. Nelson. Actual painting was to depend on the availability of the walls and th ecouncil's ability to raise money; in some cases the artists would serve as consultants to professional wall painters. John Honey, preseident of Professional Association Management, Inc., had already agreed to have a mural cover an old Lipman's sign on the side of the building he owned at 247 Commercial Street NE.

Box 04 1.10 1850-1974 Frizzell-Goodenough House The earliest date in the folder is 1850, associated with the name Dr. John M. Savage. In 1894, John C. Savage married Mary C. Whelon. Owners of the property (Block 2) included: A.T. Yeatin, Jacob & E. Hanson, Robert W. & Lois R. Hill, Wilson Ghramer, Thomas Boson, State of Oregon (1911).

Box 04 1.14 1915-1986 Geer, Leland S. & Mildred A., House, 1815 S. Commercial The focus of the folder is the Nomination of the Geer House for Local (Salem) Designation of Historic Places. The nomination form was completed in June 1986. The property was originally purchased by Harlow B. Drake in 1895. In 1919, J.W. and Olive Harbison, who lived in the next lot to the south, owned the property. The Geer House is a 2-story Colonial Revival house with a 1-story wing off the south end of the structure. The house was built in 1926 and is unique both because of its good condition and its Colonial Revival style. The house may have been a pattern house as it matches a Sears/Roebuck mail order pattern of the period. It appears that there was a prior house at this site (that might have burned), as the property was acquired by Leland S. and Mildred Geer in 1924, and they were listed in the 1925 Salem Telephone Book at this address. In May 1926, a construction loan was issued that indicated that "a house must be built within 6 months." Leland and Mildred has levide in Salem since approximately 1920, as they had lived at 323 N. 14th Street, 475 N. Commercial, and 590 N. Capitol before buying this property. Mr. Geer was identified as a salesman for C.S. Hamilton Furniture Store. Little is known about this family, however, there is

Page 46 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects a stone for L.S. Geer at the Macleay cemetery. Leland and Mildred Geer had 2 daughters: Leona who died in an automobile accident in California, and Loreena who married Mr. Cecil Thompson, the brother of Sylvia Thompson Knox. Loreena died in the early 1930's in California. After the sale of the house, Loreena's parents had moved to Southern California. Cecil worked for Bishops in Salem and as a window trimmer for Roos Bros. in San Francisco.

The second owners of the house were Rollin K. and Alice Hurlburt Page, both were attorneys. They acquired the property in 1928. More is known about this family. He specialized in mercantile law, practicing in California, Oregon, Washington and Montana. Rollin at one time was City Attorney in Salem. Alice worked with the Red Cross in an administrative capacity in Marion and Polk Counties during WWI; and for more than 10 years was a member of the Salem Library Board. A copy of the obituary notice for Rollin K. Page is in the folder (June 21,1947). Alice died November 27, 1951.

The third owners were James and Catherine Hatfield, who purchased the property from Catharine R. Arby, trustee for the Page estate, in 1957. Mr. Hatfield was a contractor, and made considerable changes to the house, such as adding electrical services, converting the saw dust furnace to an oil furnace, and updating the living room fireplace. Mr. Hatfield's cousin was Senator Hatfield. The property behind the house, which included a house on Superior Street was added, and the Superior Street house was used as a studio until a new studio was built. Warren Clarkin designed the new studio. Tony Silvers developed the landscaping for the property.

When the Hatifelds divorced in 1976, Mrs. Hatfield sold the property to Robert and Cordova Stephenson.

In 1986, the property was acquired by attorneys Rebecca A. Hillyer, David A. Larson & Larry J. Wright, who requested designation of the property as a Local Historic Building. These owners intended to convert the building to law offices.

Notes from interviews conducted by David Duniway of Mrs. Sylvia Thompson Knox (related by marriage to daughter of Leland and Mildred Geer) are present. These notes provide very brief information regarding Geer family.

Notes from review of Polk Directories are included from 1915, 1917, 1921, 1926-27, 1930-31, and 1934, tracing Leland Geer's addresses in Salem.

A photostatic copy of an 1859 ledger page from L.F. Grover is present.

R.J. Hendricks describes in the Oregon Statesman Bits for Breakfast article (3.26.1941), as "he was a brilliant lawyer. He was the first representative of the state in Congress, serving only 14 days, from Feb. 15, 1859; immediately after the admission of the state, and to the end of that Congress....He was a protege of Samuel R. Thurston, first territorial delegate from Oregon, who advised him to go to Oregon, and they would practice law together. Thurston died; but Grover became the law partner of Benj. F. Harding, and was appointed clerk of the first judicial district, and then U.S. prosecuting attorney in territorial days."

An excerpt has been copied from the Weekly Statesman, from September 24, 1869, that explains that Grover has been in poor health and is about to travel to California for his health.

Biographic references are listed.

Page 47 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects Box 04 1.16 1852-1981 Guardian Building The contents of this folder describe the series of ownerships of the property on the southeast corner of State and Liberty Streets. The property on the southeast corner of State and Liberty was part of the original plat of 1852, land held as a Donation Land Claim by Dr. Willson as a Trustee of Oregon Institute.

The first building to occupy the south east corner of State and Liberty was the Marion House, or Marion Hotel built on the Willson property in 1854. Oregon newspaper man, James O'Meara, visited Salem in 57 and registered at the Marion Hotel, then operated by R.N. May. Thirty years later, O'Meara says of Mr. May and his Marion Hotel: "Big bugs (cimex lectularis, if you are squeamish about bed bugs) were my exercise between all-night winks...alll ages and vigorous and desperately sociable, they hardly let me go in the morning."

In 1861, the second owner/proprietor, James and Lucy Churchill changed the name to Mansion House. In July 1864, Mansion House burned to the ground, and a photostatic copy of the Oregon Statesman article describing the fire is available. Three adjoining stores and the new residence of James D. Smith were also burned. The building was quickly replaced by a the Capital Hotel.

The Capital Hotel was built on the property after the Mansion House burned. In November 1869, the Capital Hotel burned to the ground, but the town was saved by a heavy rainstorm. Transcriptions of articles from the Daily Statesman and Unionist Weekly from November 3 through December 23, 1869 describe the fire, losses, clean up, and prospective plans for the lot.

The third building was a brick structure occupied by Shaw & Mallory, attorneys (Hon. ). In a referenced Oregon Statesman article from November 3, 1871, three new hydrants were recently placed in position including one of the on "Mallory's Corner." In November 1871, an article in the Oregon Statesman described the opening of the Jackson & Brown Capital Laundry in "Mallory's Brick."

In the 1871 and 1874 Directory of Salem, law offices of Mallory and Shaw are located at the southeast corner of State and Liberty. In 1879, the Engine House was erected on part of the property, and later the city jail occupied another part of the block. In an accounting of the Capital Engine Company activity for 1879, the most siginificant fire of the year was described as the one on April 26 that originated in the large barn adjoining the engine house, causing a loss of about $2,000.

In 1884, structures on the southeast corner of State and Liberty include a 2-story brick Engine House, a jail on Liberty Street, a 2-story brick store next door to the east, and another store next door to the east. Numerous grocers and pharmacies appear in the city directory over the years through 1893. At some time here, the headquarters for the stage line between Salem and Portland was also housed on this corner.

In 1893, newspaper articles describe the opportunities to consolidate fire stations, and the committee on fire and water recommends that the city sell the propertiy used by the 2 fire companies. By December 1893, renovations to the Holman Building are completed. An excerpts from History of the Willamette Valley/History of Immigration (1805) and History of Oregon provide brief biographies of Thomas Holman; he was born in England and emigrated to Oregon by way of Canada and had invented the Western fannning mill and grain cleaner. From 1893 to 1910, various grocers and pharmacies occupied the Holman Building.

In 1910, the Salem Bank and Trust Company organized and commenced business on Liberty Street. The list of orignial shareholders at the time of incorporation and their numbers of shares is provided. Shareholders were J.L. Ahlers, S.S. East, W.G. East, W.A. Knorr, W.W. Moore, R.J. Hendricks, and S.W. Endicott. A copy of the Supplementary Articles of Incorporation for Salem Bank & Trust Co, from May 1914 is present; in this document the organization's name was changed to Salem Bank of Commerce. They realized that their space was too limited. There was a boiler explosion in the basement of the Holman Building, following which the Salem Bank and Trust Company acquired the building, then known as the Steeves Building. Remodeling by the bank included the addition of steam heat, electric lights, water, passenger elevators, and business offices. In 1929, the Salem Bank of Commerce and the First National Bank consolidated through the purchase of the Bank of Commerce by First National Bank. Minutes from the Salem Bank of Commerce Directors' Meeting, Voluntary Liquidation are present in the folder. The R.L. Polk directories of Salem listed the following occupants in the Salem Bank of Commerce Building (Guardian Building) in addition to the Bank: Central Pharmacy, Quisenberry's Pharmacy; Hawkins and Roberts Loans & Real Estate; Union Security Co. investment securities; Mans Shop, Wm. A. Zozel and Ellis E. Cooley, then Ellis E. Cooley and H.W. Huntington, then H.W. Huntington until 1947; George C. Will, pianos.

Box 05 1.05 1929-1980 Jarman House (1929), 567 High Street SE

The Jarman House is a Spanish Colonial Revival style. The original owners were Mr. and Mrs. Daniel B. Jarman. The designer in charge of construction was William F. Wyatt; and the architectural plan was by G.C. McAlister of Beverly Hills. Mr. Jarman had lived in California, where they owned a house designed by William F. Wyatt. They had also seen the house of another J.C. Penny manager-partner built by William F. Wyatt of Santa Monica, California. When the Jarmans moved to Salem, they asked Mr. McAlister to design and Mr. Wyatt to build a house for them in Salem. The house was contructed in 1929 and owned by the Jarmans until 1938. The gardens for the house were designed in 1929 by Elizabeth Lord and Edith Schryver, Oregon's first women landscape architects; this is one of the few gardens where their design is still in tact. A handwritten, unsigned, note from Lord or Schryver, addressed to David Duniway comments that this was one of the first Lord Schryver "jobs" after opening their office, and they actually worked with the architect and contractor to design the driveway, construction plans for walls and walks, and even the selection and pattern of the tiles. Daniel B. Jarman was born in Wales and came to the United States as a youth. He operated mercantile stores in Milton-Freewater, Weston, and Athena in Eastern Oregon. In 1915, he opened a Golden Rule Store for J.C. Penny in Dallas, Oregon. In 1917, the J.C. Penny Company was incorporated, and in April of that year, as World War I broke, Mr. Jarman became a partner manager and opened Penny's 132nd store in Salem. In 1926, he retired, and when he died, he had 23,511 shares in the company. An excerpt from the Oregon Statesman obituary for Daniel Jarman is included; he passed away in California on May 5, 1948. The second owner of the property was Louis Lachmund, who was President of the Capital Ice and Cold Storage Company for 20 years, and was active in the Salem Brewery Association. Lachmund served on the Salem City Council, was Mayor in 1911, and served in the State Senate from 1919 to 1921. He was also a member of the State Parole Board. Socially, Lachmund was Exalted Ruler of the Salem Elks Lodge, active in the Salem Cherrians, and the Salem Chamber of Commerce.

The National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for the Jarman House, submitted in 1979, is present in the folder. Owners of the property at the time of the nomination were Bernard F. and Miriam Bednarz. Detailed photographs of the interior and exterior of the house are included in the application document.

Box 05 1.07 1914-1982 Kinersley (Nichols) House, 630 Leffele Street SE

The Kinersley House was built in 1914 for William Nicol, as student in Kimball College of Theology at Willamette University. At first it may have been a rental property, financed through a mortgage obtained from Luella D. Kimball. In 1921, the Rev. William Nichol was living in the house. He obtained his AB from Willamette University in 1922, and in 1925, he died in Quincy, Massachusetts, where he was a minister. In 1924, Nichol had sold the property, and it passed through various owners until 1934 when it was acquired by Jessie Lowe, mother of Eugene Lowe; and Lowe was still listed as the owner in 1969. In 1960, Dr. Thorn and Gorel Kinersley bought the property under contract, and transformed it from a one-and-a-half story house with a porch across the front facing Church Street , to a two-story house oriented to the Bush Pasture. Dr. Kinersley's wife had inherited money in Sweden that she could not transfer to this country, so she had hired a carpenter contractor (Hemming Warvik) from Sweden to come to Salem to convert the house; he was then paid in Stockholm. The new style of the house was typical of New England with regard to its symmetry, roof designed for snow, narrow cedar clapboards, small pane windows, and oak floors. Using the R.L. Polk Directories, the following owners and occupants of the house were identified: 1915-1924 William and Catherine Nichol; 1926-1927, John R. Newton then Fred H. & Myrtle Kesch; in 1934, Lloyd A. Mason was a renter. Other owners or occupants identified in the notes include: Dr. H. Allen Robbins and Jessie Lowe.

A photograph of the 1914 bungalow and the 1982 version of the house are included on a page from the 1982 Deepwood tour brouchure.

Box 05 1.08 1868-1984 Ladd & Bush Bank The Ladd & Bush Bank building was constructed in 1868 at the corner of Commercial and State Streets. An article from The Seattle Times/Seattle Post-Intelligencer, from December 2, 1984 briefly describes the history of the structure that was originally called the Ladd & Bush Bank, and in 1984 was the US Bank. In the mid-1960's the Ladd & Bush Bank was torn to the ground, except the vault area, and completely rebuilt to twice its original size. Bank officials considered building a modern structure, but their regard for the old one made them restore that structure. The highlight of the original bank was its ornate cast-iron facade that looked like the work of a "cake decorator run amuck." There was not enough of the original grillwork to complete the expansion, but William S. Ladd had built another bank, the Ladd & Tilton Bank in Portland, which had the same facade. Although the Ladd & Tilton Bank had been demolished, the cast-iron had been stored away; it was recast and became part of the front of the new bank. The new bank reopened in 1966.

Box 05 1.09 1882-1983 Lausanne Hall, Winter Street, 200 Block South

The original Lausanne Hall was the Women's College. The Women's College was orignially the Cloie Clark Wilson House, built in 1882 on the north side of the Capitol building. The house was purchased by the Willlamette University President Thomas VanScoy, out of his own pocket, in 1888, and moved to the present site of Lausanne Hall. At that time it was renamed Lausanne. Up to 1888, Willamette University had been a co-educational institution, but due to public protest, it was divided into the Men's College in Waller and Eaton, and the Women's College in Lausanne. Between 1888 and 1919, Old Lausanne served as a boarding house, music hall, and a women's dormitory. The old building was purposefully razed in 1919, and the present structure was completed in 1920. The architect for the new building was Fred Legge, who renovated Waller Hall at the same time. Lausanne Hall was named after the ship, Lausanne, that brought over Jason Lee and the Great Reinforcement in 1830. At the time of the State of Oregon Inventory of Historic Properties Nomination, the building was a co-ed dormitory, and the oldest on th eWillamette University campus. The style is described as "something o Renaissance/Gothic with a beautiful entrance including a two-story engraved stone relief and stained glass box windows." The interior includes wooden banister railings, wooden door and window frames and coving, along with spacious, high-ceiling rooms with possibly the original sinks. The 1983 National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form is present in the folder and includes drawings and photographs of the original and current structures. The applilcation was completed by Scott R. Marchand and submitted by Elisabeth Walton Potter. There is no indication in the folder that the nomination was approved and the building placed on the inventory.

Legg was born in Portland, Oregon, of a pioneer family. He attended Willamette University, and studied in Philadelphia. He began his architectural career in Salem, in the office of Walter D. Pugh in 1902, and established offices of his own in Salem and Portland in 1906. The Portland office was discontinued in 1916 and reopened in 1922 with his son, Kenneth Legg, in charge.

Building designs to Frederick's credit include: Garfield School (1909), R.P. Boise Building (1913), Murphey Block in Salem and the Ainsworth Building in Portland. The Salem School Board was so pleased with the Garfield School design, that Legg became the architect for the next three two-story, fire resistant schools built by the district: Englewood (1910), Highland (1912) and Richmond (1912). The Oregon State Archives have seventeen sets of his plans for buildings at the State School for the Deaf, Fairview Home for the Mentally Retarded, the State Fair, and others.

His last residence in Salem was 1499 State Street.

A copy of Fred A. Legg's Application for Registration to Practice Architecture from July 22, 1919 is present in the folder, as is a copy of the Oregon Statesman article from November 4, 1941, announcing his death. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge, of the Al Kader Shrine and formerly of the Oregon Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. He was survived by his son, Kenneth Legge, daughter Mrs. Wallace Griffith, and brothers Burton A. and Jesse.

Box 05 1.11 1868-1983 Liberty, Oregon

The community of Liberty took its name from Liberty School, which took its name from Liberty Road. In 1888, there were six houses between Salem and what is now Rosedale; the roads were only mud trails, and in spring farmers hauled rock from the stone quarry to make a road bed. A trolley was drawn by horses and went as far as the cemetery; by 1908 it went to the Salem Heights School. The Liberty area extended to the top of Rosedale hill; in the early 1900's the Oregon Land Co. laid out the Rosedale district in 5- to 30-acre plots and planted it in prune and cherry orchards. The Liberty Post Office opened in 1895, first at the Zosel home, then it belonged to Jim Lawrence who was the first postmaster.

Other businesses and organizations in the early Liberty area were: Jory Packing Company (Rolland Jory), Liberty Store (Charles Krauger and later Mr. and Mrs. Joe Vanek); Goodman Concrete Burial Vault (Dewey McAlpin); Stacey Fur Farm, Ronne Fur Farm, Whelan Fur Farm, Mountain View Fur Farm (all raising mink); Browning Amusement Company (William Browning), Browning Brothers Amusement Company; Liberty Christian Church of Christ (Rev.

A document from the Liberty School Centennial (1868 to 1968) details the history of the school. A school south of the Liberty School site was established in1857 by Lewis H. Judson on the original James Jory claim; it existed for 2 years until Mr. Jory sold his claim. The next school built was Pringle, then the Prospect School, then the Liberty School.

Liberty School began in 1868 on land sold to the School District by Mr. Swegle. The property was originally part of the Joseph R. Patterson Land Claim, and Mr. Patterson sold his entire 319.52 acres to J.A. Johns, who in turn sold it to Daniel Strang, who then sold it to Charles Swegle. The first teacher was Sarah Towner. The first schoolhouse was replaced by a larger one-room building in 1892; and in 1896 or 1897, a one-room addition was built. In 1906, because of crowded condtions, classes were conducted in the Dorman Dance Hall, across from the cannery (later known as the Grange Hall). In 1908, a two story, four-room school house was built. In 1934, the and cafeteria were built as a WPA project. In 1953, a six-room addition was built on the south and east sides. In 1959, three additional classrooms were built. In 1960, three more classrooms were built. In 1964, the old building was demolished and three classrooms and a library were added. Construction cost details are present in the folder.

The document explains that in the early years the school operated for only a few months of the year. Even though there was a contract for a specified number of months, the school closed when the district ran out of money.

Teachers at Liberty School identified in the document were: Sarah A. Towner, Albert Bond, Belle Payne, Charles G. Bridgman, Maude Langhead, Charles A. Guerne, Bertha A. Lick, W.B. Dagett, Rebecca Smith, Mrs. Barton Z. Riggs, Lily C.

Box 05 1.14 1898-1980 McCallister-Gash House, 9626 Kaufman Road, Silverton The McCallister-Gash farm house is a carpenter gothic stucture situated on its original site above the East Fork of the Pudding River, near Pratum, Oregon. The house was built by the orignial Donation Land Claim holder, Hardin McCallister in about 1860. This was the second house on the property, the first being a 2-room log cabin. By 1880, Hardin McCallister and his son, William, were running two farms on the property. They raised wheat, potatoes, and wood. They also had cattle, sheep, prize horses, swine and poultry. Hardin McCallister emigrated from to Oregon over the Oregon Trail, coming with Beuford Smith, who built a mill on Silver Creek. Hardin married Julia Smith in 1850; she had been born in Virginia. The McCallisters represent the original overland settlers of Oregon.

John Gash was a protestant immigrant from County Cork, Ireland, arriving in Salem in 1870. In 1890, John Gash purchased the McCallister property and lived in the house. The fifth generation, William W. (Bill) Gash, was planning to restore the unoccupied house in 1980, per an article in the Statesman Journal from Saturday, May 7, 1980. The Statesman Journal article describes the preservation efforts for the McCallister-Gash house, the Wilson-Durbin home, and the Gilbert House.

The Gash family initiated the National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for the house in 1980, working with David Duniway. A copy of the Nomination Form is included in the folder, as well as the April 11, 1980 State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation meeting agenda that includes presntation of the Nomination.

Box 05 1.16 1860-1976 McCully Building Salem's oldest commercial building is now the entrance to a parking lot. The original structure was probably built in 1857-58 and it appears in the earliest known photograph of downtown Salem in 1861. The occasion for the photograph was an exhibition of volunteer firemen belonging to Alert Hook and Ladder Company; Wiley Kenyon, the town's first mayor and the photographer was a member of the Alert Hook and Ladder Company. In 1858, David McCully and J.L. Starkey moved their store from Harrisburg to Salem and bought the business of Cohn & Fish at Ladd & Bush corner and by 1861 had moved into the McCully & Starkey Building. Subsequently, three brick buildings shared the west side of Commercial Street between State and Court Streets. In 1860, John and Isaac Moores signed a joint-wall agreemeent with David McCully. The Moores were building the largest of three brick buildings and McCully was building the northernmost of the three. Under a joint-wall agreement, the builders could share the same wall (now illegal). In 1889, H.C. McCully, a relative of David McCully, signed a joint-wall agreement with the Breyman Brothers who that year put up a building to house their dry goods store. It is not known for which of his business interests David McCully used the building, although he was one of the incorporators of the People's Transportation Co., the Railroad Co., and the Salem Real Estate Co. It is speculated that the Breyman Brothers may have used the McCully building while gathering capital for their own building.

The Pioneer Trust Co. was built on the corner of State and Commercial Streets in 1909. In the early 20th century, occupants included a card room and cigar factory on the second floor, and a jewler on the ground floor; later occupants were Buster Brown Shoes, Arbuckles Shoes and a leather goods store. First Federal later occupied the building, and when they moved out in 1964, Pioneer Trust purchased the property.

David McCully is something of a mystery. It is known that he and his brother Asa started a store in Harrisburg in 1852, and three years later David McCully became that town's first postmaster. By 1860, David McCully was in Salem, as he was part of a joint-wall agreement with the Moores.

A photostatic copy of an article from the Oregon Statesman, February 3, 1905, describes the cigar store (Salem Cigar Factory) of August Heckestein, located upstairs in the McCully building. Photographs from the August 4, 1948 Capital Journal show the McCully building (McCully & Starkey Store) in 1861 and (Shafer Leather Goods) in 1948. The 1861 Wiley Kenyon photograph includes a log cabin that is probably Salem's first publilc school. The accompanying article describes the pending facelift for the building; at the time of the renovations, the building was owned by Mrs. H.H. Stapleton of Roseburg.

Box 05 1.17 1880-1986 Manning, Samuel A., Building, 200 State Street

The building is situated on a portion of the William H. Willson Donation Land Claim, located on the southeast corner of State and Front Streets.

Thomas Holman acquired the property at this location via 2 transactions, one in 1880 and one in 1883. Mr. Holman was the proprietor of Salem Electric Light Works, President of Salem Abstract & Land Company, and he manufactured grain cleaning machinery. In 1884, there was a frame building on the site, occupied by Holman's Fan Mill Manufacturing.

In 1889, Mr. Holman sold the property to S.T. Northcutt, who did not operate a business on this property. During Mr. Northcutt's ownership of the building, it was rented or leased to combinations of the following individuals who were livery and feed suppliers, blacksmiths and carriage makers: C.W. Scriber, Herman Pohl(e), Arthur Glover, Edward H. Pugh, Henry Pohle, Clyde Bellinger, and William H. Siegmund.

Samuel A. Manning purchased the building from S.T. Northcutt in September 1908. At some point between 1905 and 1908, the 2-story common brick building was constructed at 200 State Street. In 1908 the building was being used for wagons and implements. Manning owned and operated his farming/machinery/vehicles business at this location until 1921 when he sold the property to Frank N. and Marion A. Derby. The Derbys did not operate a business from this location, but Charles R. Archard sold farm implements, grain, feed, seed and Shell oil and gas there from 1921 to 1931.

Between 1932 and 1953, Salem Seed & Implement Company occupied this location. Starting in 1942, E.H. Bingenheimer, owned and managed the Salem Seed & Implement Company.

From 1884 through 1954, the location was used continually for service and sales of farm related products.

The National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for the Manning Building is present in the folder and includes maps, and photographs from 1910 to 1986. The owners, and Nomination applicants, in 1986 were Jerry D. and Margaret F. Alexander. The application was prepared by Irene M. Hammer.

Box 05 1.19 1870-1971 Marion County Historic Buildings: Marion Hotel History

The Marion Hotel was built in 1870, originally named Chemeketa House after the Indian name for the camp site that constituted Salem. The original hotel, with 4 stories and up to 165 rooms, was considered the best north of San Francisco, and when it opened it had inside plumbing with water in every room and a water closet on every floor, plus gas lights and telegraph services. The hotel was located across the street from the State House, within a block of the public dock, and next to the stage depot, and was the largest building in town.

The hotel served as the center of city and state political and social life. The hotel was built by men associated with local government in Salem, and the successful Willamette Woolen Mill, but the initial stock subscription of $40,000 was not enough to meet the bills. In 1889, the hotel's name was changed to Willamette Hotel, and then in 1910, when the hotel was refurbished it was named Marion Hotel. In 1956, the remainder of the block was acquired, and a modern motel complex was added along with a new lobby, restaurant and banquet rooms. At that time, the old Salem Armory was incorporated as the Star Light Auditorium. Periodically, the hotel had serious financial difficulties, finally being sold at sherrif's auction in January 1971. In November 1971, a blaze started in the kitchen area, and the hotel burned; what did not burn was demolished the same week.

News articles included in the folder describe the structure, style, businesses and businessmen, and list all the stockholders of the hotel. The articles range from the Salem Daily Mercury: September 21, 1870, January 7, 1871, January 14, 1871 and December 31, 1871; Statesman Weekly, January 4, 1889; Capital Journal, July 2, 1938, February 18, 1947, April 67, 1948, September 13, 1948, December 23, 1970, January 1, 1971 and November 12, 1971; to the Oregon Statesman, January 11, 1970, January 30, 1970, December 23, 1970, December 26, 1970 and November 13, 1971.

Chemeketa House was built by a joint stock company, of which the officers were: J.G. Miller, F. Henschel, M. Hirsch, and J.G. Wright. Joseph Holman was the buidling Director; and W.W. Piper of Portland was the architect. C.A. Cutting was the first proprietor, and O.H. "Baldy" Smith had a saloon in the basement. J.C. Brown and wife, from Salem, were the first registered guests. Listed key proprietors over time (Chemeketa, Willamette, Marion) included: P.R. Earhart, Thomas Smith, F.S. Mathews, J.K. Morrison, A.I. Wagner, R.M. May, Fred Muir, Gilbert Madison, J.

Box 05 1.20 1852-1982 Methodist Church, 600 State Street The First Methodist Episcopal Church of Salem, also known as the First United Methodist Church of Salem, was incorporated in 1869. The original church was a 40-by-60-foot wooden building in the Classic Revival Style with louvered belfry which had been erected in 1852 and dedicated early in 1853. Between 1871 and 1878, the brick masonry church was erected on the southeast corner of Church and State Streets in Salem. The building site is assumed to have passed to the church through an unrecorded agreement from former Methodist missionary, William H. Willson. Willson was financial agent for the Oregon Institute, a Methodist educational enterpreise which became Willamette University, and owner of the land claim on which the town was platted in 1850. Title to the church site was formally conveyed by Willson and his wife to the trustees of the first society of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1856. A quit claim deed recorded in 1877, subsequently transferred title to the Methodist Episcopal Church of Salem. When the site was cleared and prepared for new construction in 1870, the old church was moved to a lot acquired on the block to the west, where it remained for many years, first serving as an interim church, then filling various secular uses. The Gothic Revival style brick church, completed in 1878, had a wood belfry and spire. Even today the spire and cross termination, reaching a height of 185 feet above grade, remains one of the prominent elements in the Salem skyline. The church was surrounded by Marion County Court House, the State House, a U.S. Post Office and a series of government offices. The church has been enlarged as the congregation grew and additional property was acquired. In 1935, the parsonage of 1876, which had been adapted as a Sunday School, and a temporary Sunday School Annex of the 1920's were replaced by a 3-story, brick Sunday School Temple, a harmonious 50x103-foot rear wing at a right angle to the main axis of the church. In 1967, the parsonage of 1911 on the east side of the church was razed to make room for the Educational and Office Addition, which was built at a right angle to the axis of the 1935 wing. The annex thus forms a U-shaped configuration, in the center of which is a garden court. The spire-topped church remains the dominant feature despite the evolutionalry development of the property. Plans for the first brick church were designed by Cass Chapman of Chicago. The church plans, however, were not accepted because the estimated cost of construction was $50,000, and the church building committee set the cost limit at $30,000. The plans were reduced in scale overall by one-eighth. The corner stone was laid in 1871, but construction experienced delays and lapses due to financial difficulties, and construction was not completed until 1878. Subsequently, the 1880's saw an upswing in church membership which allowed a successful effort to retire the debt for construction. Orin Oliphant, historial of the First Methodist Church of Salem in 1967, prepared a document describing the specifications of the church from 1871 as presented by Cass Chapman a Chicago architect. The National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form was prepared in 1982, and a copy is present in the folder. This document contains extensive details about the structure and features of the church, as well as prominent individuals in its history, including Rev. Jason Lee, William H. Willson, Rev. F.P. Tower, Cass Chapman, Wilbur F. Boothby, O.F. Denis, R. F. Denham, Glenn Stanton, E.E. Batterman, Rev. Alvin F. Waller, , and Bishop Edward R. Ames, Albert Siewert, Fred A. Legge, Wilbur F. Boothby, W.W. Piper. The church was placed on the National Register in 1983, and celebrated by the church on July 24, 1983. The nomination form was completed by Ellen Foster and Eunice Winslow with assistance of Elisabeth Walton Potter and Prof. Marion Dean Ross; and the owner of the property was the First United Methodist Church of Salem.

Box 05 1.21 1869-1981 Minto Houses, 841, 835 & 821 Saginaw Street South

John Minto was an important figure in the early development of agriculture in Oregon. John Minto first farmed at Clatsop Plains, then Mission Bottom, and finally selected a donation land claim four miles south of Salem. He was first interested in orchards, and his first fruit was shipped to the gold fields in California. His interest then changed to Merino sheep and the wool industry. In 1856, John became one of the first stockholders in the Willamette Woolen Manufacturing Company of Salem, the first on the Pacific Coast. As Secretary of the State Agricultural Society, he helped organize the first State Fair, held in 1861 on the present site of Gladstone. Over the years, he received more than 400 awards for his displays of sheep and fleeces. His obituary in February 1915, states: "His passing marks end of one of most useful lives of the State."

Page 61 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects In 1869, John acquired the north end of what is now known as Minto Island. It had been cleared of marketable timber for the heating of Salem, and was brush and wild land. John and his son Douglas developed this into their hop and sheep ranch. In 1910, John sold the property to this three sons: John W., Douglas C, and Harry. By 1920, Douglas had bought out his brothers. In 1933, John D. Douglas' son, had joined the family business and managed the ranch until the farm was sold to Oregon Pulp and Paper (Boise Cascade) in about 1948.

The original house and the houses built in 1922 and 1926 were situated so that Douglas, who lived in town on a paved street, could run the ranch. The 1926 house was especially designed with picture windows to the west from which Douglas could watch his island property and quickly spot trouble for a sheep or some other problem.

The Minto houses are a mini-district representing changes in fortune, taste and interests of a pioneer agricultural family of major significance. Situated on the banks of the Willamette Slough, access to the ranch on Minto Island was via a private pull ferry. To the north of the houses was a brewery, later replaced by fashionable houses, now gone because of the Civic Center and the businesses on Commercial Street. To the south of the property were lumber yards that were replaced by two-story apartments, and the area is now zoned for business.

The house at 841 Saginaw Street is a two-story frame vernacular farm house, built in 1869. This house originally stood about 100 feet to the north, between numbers 821 and 835; when it was moved in 1903, it was placed on a higher full cement basement.

The bungalow at 835 Saginaw Street was built in 1922, representing a major change in taste and comfort. It is a one-and-a-half story framed stucture with lap siding. The contract for construction of this house is present in the folder.

The house at 821 Saginaw Street is a two-to-one-and-a-half story structure in the Arts and Crafts style, built in 1926. This is a stucco-finished structure. In 1949 the Mintos added a bedroom on the south west upstairs. In 1952, a recreation room was added in the basement. In 1970 the second owners changed the upstairs windows across the front, redesigned the kitchen and dining room windows and the kitchen cabinets. The next owners, a firm of lawyers, used the house solely as a office. A flyer featuring this house as the new home for the Oregon School Employees Association (OSEA) is present.

John Minto was born in England, son of a coal miner, and he, too, worked in coal mines in England in Pennsylvania. John was a member of the second family migration to Oregon in 1844, and was one of a number of Pioneer Englishmen to settle in Salem. John Minto was the editor of the Willamette Farmer newspaper, published in Salem, starting in 1869.

Sons of John Minto: Douglas Minto was a member of the firm of Minto and Waters, tobacco dealers in Salem. His brother Jasper "Jap" was engaged int he truck and ddray business and had the "Fashion Stables" on the southwest corner of Court and High Streets. John Wilson Minto was Salem Marshall, Sherrif of Marion County, Chief of Police of Portland, and Warden of the State Penitentary. Harry Percy Minto was also sherrif of Marion county and Warden of the State Penitentary, and was killed by an escaped convict in 1915. Frank A. Minto also went into law enforcement and was Salem City Marshall and then Chief of Police. In a Capital Journal article from June 9, 1973, Ernest Beamish, great-grandson of John Minto, recounted memories of John Minto's accomplishments.

Various members of the Minto family occupied the three houses from time to time, and there were at least two other Minto houses in the area: one across Mission Street on Saginaw, and one on Mission on the Willamette River. Residents of the houses between 1913 and 1949 are listed in the folder, as part of the research conducted for the National Register nomination.

The National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for the three houses is present in the folder, as well as notification that the property had been entered into the National Register in 1981. The Nomination application was prepared by David Duniway. At the time of the applilcation the owner of the property was Oregon School Employees Association, John Brown, Executive Director.

Box 05 1.22 1936-1976 Montgomery Ward Building Descriptions from articles in the Statesman from 1936 and 1937 describe progress in planning and constructing the Montgomery Ward Building. The building was located at 155 N Liberty Street. The first reference is from July 18, 1936 and describes the size and construction planned. The second article, from August 1, 1936, states that the constuction contract has been awarded to Drake, Wyman and Voss, Inc., a Portland contractor. The plumbing, ventlation and heating contract was awarded to Nelson Bros., Inc. of Salem.

Demolition of the small group of buildings at 157 N Liberty Street was planned. In order to construct the building, a group of small buildings occupying the Liberty Street property had to be demolished. The January 1, 1937 article describes construction under way, with expectations for the store to open in late spring or early summer.

An Oregon Weekly Statesman article from March 29, 1871 is included in the folder. The article explains that architect G.W. Rhodes has his offices in the Opera Houase, at the head of the . The plans for the new penitentary were available in his office for examination.

Box 05 1.23 1959 Moores Bequest

Carroll Moores grew up and lived in Salem; he was the son of pioneer Isaac R. Moores who captained the wagon train that arrived in 1852. Carroll followed occupations as a carpenter and painter, then janitor for the Supreme Court. Carroll never married, and at his death in 1937, had significant savings. In his will, Carroll L. Moores left more than $23,000 to the City for purchase of a monument to early Oregon pioneers, requested that the City make the final choice. Search for a suitable memorial began in the late 1940's , and by the time the actual monument was commissioned, the fund had grown to $36,000. Articles in the folder describe the following alternatives: -Replica of a pioneer cabin placed in Willson Park -A Pioneer Museum building on city land other than Willson Park -Leaving the principal of Moores' trust fund in tact and use the annual earnings for stimulating interest and study in pioneer life and times through annual awards for essays, works of art and music composition with the pioneer era as the central theme. At one point, the Pioneer Trust Company had offered a Renoir nude, "Venus Victorieuse," but the local uproar squelched that option.

The final decision was the pioneer family sculpture, "Guidance of Youth," located on the edge of a wooded bluff in Bush's Pasture Park. The sculpture was made by Avard Fairbanks, art consultant at Utah Univesity and former professor at the University of Oregon. The sculpture was unveiled on July 1, 1959 (State Centennial Year) by Moores' cousins Ralph D. and Merril B. Moores; the program from the event is included in the folder.

Commissioners appointed by Mayor Al Loucks to make a proposal for the monument or memorial were: Chandler P. Brown, Carroll Meeks, and David Duniway; ex-officio members were: Henry Compton, J. L. Franzen and Mayor Loucks.

The father came for Raymond and the family disappeared from Salem. The house was sold and used as a rental property until 1958 when new owners refurbished it. Judson Reeves had purchased the whole block between Saginaw and Fir Streets from School District 24 for $500. The District had built the first South Salem School on the block in 1866, and this was replaced by the two story Lincoln School at Liberty and Myers where Saint Paul's Episcopal Church now stands. The old school was sold for $45 and moved down Commercial Street to the corner of Kearny where it was the E.T. Barkus and Son feed mill for many years. June 1, 1982: Looking north into Salem from top of 12th St. - 1913 features a photograph from July of 1913, when 12th Street was still a narrow unpaved road allowing for only one vehicle. Between the hill and Yew Park there were no houses visible, and in the distiance to the right is the tower of Oregon's old State House. If a similar photograph were taken today, the Capitol tower would be at the end of Twelfth Street. The suburbs that became South Salem were just beginning to develop in 1913. June 15, 1982: Alderbrook, one of Salem's most interesting houses is described. Alderbrook, hidden by houses and trees off Winding Way, is one of Salem's most interesting Victorian houses. "Dutch Colonial" in style, it was built by Major Edwin Y. and Charlotte Ewald Lansing. Mrs. Lansing prepared the plans which reflected the taste of the suburban gentlemen's farms developing along the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, south of Washington, D.C. The Major employed Chinese masons to lay the foundations, using rocks from the 90 acres which they had just been given by Mrs. Lansing's parents, Ferdinand and Cecelia Berninghausen Ewald, natives of Hamburg and Berlin, respectively. In 1872, the Ewalds had arrived from Germany and had purchased the 640 acre Donation Land Claim of Joseph Holman. Holman was born in England, and had come across the plains in the Farnham party of 1839-40, the first to follow the Oregon Trail. Holman married Almira Phelps of the Lee Methodist Mission, taught the Indians, and became a U.S. citizen in 1853. June 29, 1982: Winding of the May Pole at Yew Park School - 1912 article includes two photographs of the Overall Boys and Sunbonnet Babies, the students who did the Maypole Drill at the Yew Park School on Friday, May 3, 1912. The Overall Boys and Sunbonnet Babies were characters from a series of books from which the children in the first and second grades learned to read, and the Yew Park children dressed in costumes similar to these characters. Other dancers and drills were the Hoop Drill perforrmed by the third grade, and the Wand Drill performed by the fourth grade, the Dutch Folk Dance by the fifth grade, a Japanese Drill by girls of the sixth and seventh grade, an Indian Drill by the fourth grade, and then the Winding of the May Pole. Yew Park School was a wooden two-story structure standing on the block bounded by Mission, 13th, Lee Streets and the railroad track. July 13, 1982: Bush photo shows Fairmount Dairy on South River Road. The slough between Minto Island and Salem Hills was used for the storage of logs for the Spaulding mill when the panoramic photograph featured in the article was taken by A.N. Bush on August 12, 1912. This practice was continued by the Oregon Pulp and Paper Company and its successors until about 1965, when Boise Cascade began to chip all its logs and store the chips. The railroad track of the Oregon Electric, is visible in the photograph. The view is approximately from a point near where Owens Street turns into the River Road. The house on the hill was at the end of Myers Street, the home of the Schindler family, and the barns in this photograph were part of the Fairmount Dairy, founded April 25, 1897, with 8 cows. July 27, 1982: Pioneer Cemetery was previously known as Rural Cemetery. When street cars came to Salem, one route went to the cemetery. Cars were even used as hearses, and special arrangments were made to take the mourners to the cemetery for the internment. There was a corner for the Chinese and an altar for their use, but every few years, the Chinese Page 70 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects dead were shipped back to China. One of the major problems in the old cemetery has been its upkeep. Although the Odd Fellows has long labored to develop perpetual care, and there are funds for some family plots, the problem became overwhelming until, eventually, responsibility for maintenance of the cemetery was transferred to the Salem City Parks Department. The headstone of Reverend John Daniel Boon is featured in the photograph. Rev. Boon was a pioneer of 1845, his house at the Mission Mill Museum was built in 1847, in North Salem, and his store, now Boon's Treasury, built on North Liberty in 1860, are perhaps more permanent monuments. Boon was the Territorial Treasurer, first State Treasurere, Treasurer of the Willamette Woolen Mills, and involved in many activities including private banker. August 10, 1982: First South Salem Italian Prunes planted by S.A. Clarke in the first half of the 1880's. By 1912, L.M. Gilbert in the new Ladd & Bush Quarterly reported that "trees planted thirty years ago are vigorous, bearing good crops of fine fruit." When the value of prunes became apparent, the Oregon Land Company operating in Salem, bought wheat lands south of the city in what is now known as Liberty-Rosedale Prune Belt. During the early (eighteen) nineties about five thousand acres of the land was planted in Italian prunes by the company; plantations were subdivided into ten-acre tracts and sold to investors at $125 per acre with the Land Company agreeing "to cultivate, spray, prune and otherwise care for" the orchards until the trees were four years old. The Oregon Land Company which did so much to develop both South and North Salem, was organized by Dr. Henry J. Minthorn, Herbert Hoover's uncle. The featured photograph of the back doors of Liberty was taken by A.N. Bush on September 7, 1913, and includes the new prune dryer. September 7, 1982: The David McCully House, built in 1865, is a new residence is South Salem. It used to stand on Front and Division in downtown Salem. A great tree smashed its kitchen in the Columbus Day storm of 1962, making it uninhabitable. Moved to the Schindler property, at 1365 John Street S, it was happily greeted by all the neighbors. The house's design is known as Carpenter Gothic, of which few examples survive in Salem. In restoration, walls of the original 10 rooms were moved to make 5 larger rooms. The house is now on the National Register. David McCully, its builder, came to Oregon in 1852 with money from the California Gold Rush. He was a grocer involved in the monopoly of the boats on the river before the railroad, a rancher, and in 1886, founder of the First Bank of Joseph. September 21, 1982: Webster House: working man's dream home, is the Burggraf-Burt Webster House at 901 Thirteenth Street. It was built in 1895 in Yew Park by Charles Burggraf, an architect who hoped to move from his home on 12th Street to a new dream house. Circumstances forced him to sell the house in January 1896 to Mary Burt, wife of Thomas P. Burt, an engineer. Since the house was near the depot, it is possible he was an engineer on the Southern Pacific. The Burt's son, Arthur, was a motorman and conductor for the Salem Street Cars. In 1902, the Burts sold the house to Julia K. Webster, secretary for the State Land Board who purchased the home for her parents, Judge and Mrs. Daniel Webster during their declining years. From 1968 to 1976, the Webster House served as an art gallery for a group of artists, potters, painters and sculptors. The house is on the National Register. October 5, 1982: Leslie Methodist Church loses parsonage in 1908. The parsonage, built in 1894, was moved in 1908 and again in 1982. In 1908 when the congregation decided to build a new church they turned the parsonage around and moved it down Myers to the alley. The more recent move was to the triangle where 13th Street cuts off from 12th Street, to serve as the office of Dr. David West. The first church was erected on land donated by George H. and Mary Leslie Jones; Mary was the daughter of the Rev. David Leslie. The church is described as one of the few surviving "bungalow" style churches; its interior had been altered considerably in 1939. The church closed due to the loss of membership as new churches on the edges of the city drew younger members. October 19, 1982: Civil Works Administration backed Leslie Pool project in 1934. A year after Franklin Roosevelt became President, the New Deal was in progress and the papers daily chronicled the reinvigoration of America. Prominent in almost every issue were reports on the CWA, which preceded the more famous WPA. In Salem, the bid developments were public playground projects at Olinger and Leslie fields. The Leslie project include six tennis courts, a swimming pool, football, track, volleyball, horseshoe and playground facilities. The photograph, taken March 6, 1934, shows 77 workmen clearing away the hill to make room for the modern community swimming pool. Laborers received 40 cents an hours and skilled workers 90 cents. Workers were only able to work 24 hours a week, and on March 2, their pay had just been cut from 50 cents per hour and $1.20 per hour. The whole CWA program had gone through jeopardy in February, when Congress barely met the deadline to appropriate $950 millinon to keep the public works program alive. Harry Hopkins was national administrator of Public Works, and Glenn C. Niles was the county administrator. The houses in the background of the photograph belonged to Crispin Bernhardt and Fred R. Burch. November 2, 1982: Fairview Hospital and Training Center were featured in the photograph taken by A.N. Bush on July 6, 1913. The photograph shows the first buildings grouped on the edge of the hilltop. By 1947, there were 12 dormitories, a hospital, administration building, a kitchen and dining room building, laundry, heating plant, granary, garages and barns. Originally three miles southeast of Salem, the city has grown toward the institution and its 635 acres, and surrounds it on the south. As the Capital of Oregon, Salem is the site of many custodial institutions, and in fact, to establish an institution elsewhere, an act of the legislature is required and the decision must be ratified by Oregon voters. Nearest to South Salem is what was first known as the State Institution for the Feeble Minded, authorize din 1907 and formally opened in November 1908. At that time, 38 "feeble minded" were admitted. Over the years, the institutions name has changed to Fairview Home, then Fairview Hospital and Training Center, reflecting the gradual changes in emphasis in the institution.

Box 06 1.16 1987-1988 South Salem Past Marketing This folder contains potential vendors for South Salem Past; sales reports made to Marion County Historical Society throughout 1987; a schedule of marketing events for December 1987; an article from Statesman Journal, November 29, 1987 that features South Salem Past and David Duniway; a list of publications in which South Salem Past was reveiwed; and a letter dated April 24, 1984, from Sam Bush regarding the references to himself in the publication on April 10, 1984. The letter from Sam Bush states, "I have recently seen your article in The South Salem News (April 10, 1984) concerning my family, and am offended. Your statement that I 'restore antiques in Portland' bears as much resemblance to my real activities as defining Asahel Bush II as having run a finance company in Salem." A letter from David Duniway addressed to Jennifer Hagloch, Curator of the Bush House, is attached to Sam Bush's letter and in it David states "Since this is what he told me after the Bush drama last fall, I am surprised. Perhaps he is not aware that a historian is only a belated newspaper reported, dependent upon the frankness of his sources, the accuracy of his inquiries, and the perception of those to whom he talks."

Box 07 1.01 1864-1980 Deepwood History - Knighton

William Christmas Knighton was one of Oregon's most distinguished and prolific architects. He was born in Indiana in 1864, and moved to Portland in the mid-1880's where he set up practice under his own name. Knighton was residing in Salem in 1894, when he designed the first of his Oregon architectural landmarks, the Dr. L.A. Port Residence and Barn, now known as Deepwood. He also designed a Queen Anne mansion for Judge and Mrs. J.J. Murphy on Court Street, and the Masonic Temple in Corvallis, and the Scio School. Knighton moved to California in 1896, and practiced there for about 2 years. Returning to Portland following the Lewis and Clark Exposition, he gained attention in a booming Portland for his work with glazed terra cotta, the Chicago School, the Viennese Early Modern Design, and the modifiied Swiss Chalet Arts and Crafts styles. In 1913, Governor Oswald appointed Knighton as the states first Oregon State Architect, a post he held until 1917. As State Architect, Knighton was also asked by the University of Oregon to confer with Ellis F. Lawrence who had been given this contrract to develop a campus master plan for the University. In 1919, Governor Ben Olcott, appointed Knighton as Oregon's first President of the newly formed Oregon State Board of Architect Examiners, a post he held until 1924. In 1922, Knighton formed a partnership with Leslie D. Howell that lasted until Knighton's death in 1938. In addition to homes, Knighton was known for numerous structures, such as Grant High School in Portland; the Nurse's Home at the County Hospital in Portland; the State Office Building (Judiciary Building); the Junior and Seniour Salem High Schools (North Salem High); the Elks Club Building in Salem; the Pythian Home in Vancouver, Washington; motor stage depots in Monmouth, Newberg, Salem, Portland and Forest Grove; the Medofrd High School Schop Building; and the State Printing Building in Salem. During his life, Knighton was also interested in civic, social and fraternal affairs. He served as Sectretary (1917) and later President (1920) of the Oregon Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. He was a member of the Architectural Club of Portland, serving as one of three members on the Civic Improvement Committee in 1910. In the Masonic Order, he held the 32nd degree of Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masonry and was an initiated in El Kadir Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Knights of Pythias, and was a member of the "Lang Syne Society" of Portland, a historical society.

Box 07 1.03 1894-1973 Deepwood National Register

This folder contains the National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for "Deepwood," the Dr. Luke A. Port House. The house is located at 1116 Mission Street SE. The National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form was completed by Paul Hartwig, Assistant Park Historian, in August 1973.

Dr. Luke A. Port constructed his elegant home in the Queen Anne style in 1894. It was designed by one of Salem's (and Oregon's) notable architects, William C. Knighton. Houses of this mode were elaborate in texture and irregular in plan as well as in elevation. The gardens surrounding the house also display a variety of detail. On the banks of Pringle Creek, which separates Deepwood estate from the expanse of Bush's Pasture Park, there is a woodland garden, preserved as a natural area which contains wildflowers and provides the same habitat for bird life that existed when aboriginals inhabited the

Page 81 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects region. The City of Salem acquired the house and part of the grounds in 1971 with the vision to use the building for low-key social and recreational purposes, such as wedding receptions, teas and bridge tournaments. Two historical associations add to the interest and importance of the estate: architect William C. Knighton gained local recognition for his work on the house, and the builder, Dr. Luke A. Port was a wealthy citizen who led an unusual and mysterious life. Dr. Port sold the house in 1895. It was during subsequent ownership by Clifford Brown tha the gardens were designed by Lord and Schryver, one of the early and highly-regarded professional landscape architectural firms at work in the Willamette Valley. Brown's widow, Alice B. Brown, lived on in the house with second husband Keith Powell until the property was acquired by the City in 1971.

Box 07 1.05 1877-1978 MCHS Inventory - Port Manning House

The property for the house described in this folder was acquired by Dr. Luke A. Port in 1884 from Daniel and Harriet Clark. The beautiful Italianate home, located at the corner of Winter and Ferry Streets, was built for Dr. Port in 1884, then was sold to Major William Manning in 1889. Dr. Port was a native of England, brought up in Athens County, Ohio, and a veteran of the Civil War. He became a doctor and newspaper editor, building a fortune in Warrensburg, Missouri. He lived in San Diego and San Francisco before he came to Salem. For three years, he was proprietor of Port and Son Drug Company. The son, Omega, was sent in 1887 to Europe to study chemistry, but the boat was lost in a hurricane; and the Ports left Salem to seek news of their son. In 1893, when the Doctor returned to Salem, he built the house that is now known as Deepwood. Major William Manning was a native of Indiana, who served in the Civil War, taught in the Waldo Hills, was a businessman in Salem and Canyonville, a minister of the Christian Church, state legislator, and secretary of the Willson Park Board. Two of his three sons were listed in Who's Who in America: Isaac, consul in Nicaragua, Columbia and Venezuela, and editor of the Statesman; and William Alfred, professor of mathematics at . In 1920, Walter Keys, an attorney acquired the house and turned it into apartments. In 1972, the Marion County Historical Society was given the house by Pacific North West Bell, and it was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Ferris. The ferris family moved the house to Halls Ferry Road, up from South River Bend. To accomplish the move, Rainbow Construction Company cut the house in two, horizontally, just above the second floor, lifted off the top, moved the two parts, and expertly reassembled the pieces on the new site. Almost restored, the house was sold to Judge and Mrs. Albin Norblad, and was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. US Census references for Major William Manning in1880, and for William Manning (1903-1950) are present in the folder. Items in the folder include the State of Oregon Inventory of Historic Sites and Buildings nomination form and a number of news articles, as listed below.

The note to pay off the balance due on South Salem Past, may extend beyond June 1991 due to slower sales than expected. The remaining supply of Glimpses of Historic South Salem had been sold to pay for the South Salem Past but additional fees were needed to pay the final balances. When it came time to publish the Dr. Luke Port book, Capital City Graphics' bank was reluctant to accept accounts receivable lasting over one or two years, and made a set of requests to resolve prior open balances. David Duniway agreed to pay the outstanding bills by drawing Marion County Historical Society's CD funds from old Oregon Bank (Security Pacific Bank of Oregon) and by borrowing on his Standard Insurance quarterly. He also proposed that funds from the sales of all three books be used to pay for the Capital City Graphics paper costs. In the end of 1988, Friends of Deepwood accepted a proposal to collaborate in the publishing costs for the Dr. Port book.

Box 07 1.12 1988-1989 Port, Omega (Son), San Diego Fountain In 1906, at his death, Dr. Luke A. Port had left money to be used to build a fountain in the San Diego Masons' Mount Hope Cemetery in honor of his son, Omega Port who had drowned at sea. The fountain was designed by Irving J. Gill and constructed in 1908. In 1988, the City of San Diego had determined that the Omega Port Memorial Fountain at Mount Hope Cemetery was in ruins and should be demolished because it was an unsafe structure that would be expensive to repair. David Duniway had been in communication with the San Diego Historical Society in previous years to obtain photographs of Page 86 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects the fountain for use in article on Dr. Port and Deepwood, and as a result, quickly learned of the pending destruction. In the September 20, 1988 South Salem News, David published a photograph of the Omega Port Memorial Fountain with a note explaining that the threatened fountain was a gift to the City of San Diego by Dr. Luke A. Port who built Deepwood. In the September 27, 1988 South Salem News, David published an article about the fountain and plans for demolition. (The entire publication is present in the folder.) Meanwhile, Salem's Friends of Deepwood agreed to receive funds as Salem's tribute to Dr. Port and his family and to forward Salem's gift to the San Diego Historical Society.

Communications between David Duniway and Terry Cruse of the Phoenix Compnies, that volunteered to support the restoration project are also present. In April 1989, correspondence indicated that the project was deadlocked in San Diego because the city refused to make any commitment to maintaining the fountain once it is restored. To this, David responded with recommendations to develop a "Friends of" group to address restoration of the Masonic Cemetery, with the Omega Port Memorial being its first project. A copy of the deed for the cemetery lots is present. Dr. Port, his wife Elizabeth and daughter Alpha Port are all buried adjacent to the fountain. A copy of the Last Will and Testament of Luke A. Port is present in the file.

Casper J. Durbin is featured in a publication entitled History of Baker, Grant, Malheur and Harney Counties, on page 260. He was described as "one of the most thrifty and progressive of the agriculturalists in the vicinity of Huntington, and his premises and environs bear eloquent testimony to his industry and good management." He arrived with ox teams in Salem, Oregon in 1853; his family had arrived in 1845. Casper's parents were John and Sarah Fitting Durbin. Casper was a partner with his brother, Solomon, in the hotel and livery business.

This same document contains excerpts from the Durbin Family Bible Records on page 96, and a description of the house's ownership record on page 95. The Wilson-Durbin house was located just north of the Center Street bridge in Riverfront Park, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the oldest known home on its original site within the 1848 plat of Salem. The house is classed as a carpenter Gothic cottage. The first family to have occupied the house was that of Salem lawyer, Joseph Gardner Wilson, for whom the house was built in 1861. In 1866, John and Sarah Durbin purchased the house; ten years later, Isaac's twin brother Daniel and his family assumed ownership of the house. Daniel's daughter, Lottie, the wife of Duncan Ross, was the last Durbin owner of the house, which was sold in 1913. Subsequent owners made changes to the interior and exterior of the house, until 1987, when the house became the property of the City of Salem.

Box 08 1.04 1878-1991 Paulus Building - Construction, Character, Notes In 1878, 26-year-old Christopher Paulus came to Oregon from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and began working as a carpenter and builder near Sublimity, Oregon. Shortly afterward, he moved to Salem wehre he resided until the time of his death. In 1888,

Page 90 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects Christopher married Elizabeth Nees and they had 6 sons: Robert, Fred, George, Otto, William and Theodore, all of whom stayed and prospered in Salem. Robert, George and William built and later sold the Paulus Brothers Packing Company, which was at that time the largest food processing plant in the world. Otto became an attorney and was a member of the House of Representatives in the 1930's. Fred was prominent in State government, and Theodore became a local businessman. Elizabeth remembered in a 1923 newspaper article that when she married Christopher, "He owned a building on Commercial Street and ran a saloon. I had such an aversion to drunken men and such a horror to the saloon business that I gave my husband no peace till he sold his saloon and took up his old occupation of contractor and builder." Paulus' obituary in 1935 notes four commercial buidlings he built and the one he remodeled. Paulus remodeled the Old Eckerian Building (125 North Commercial). In addition to the Paulus Building (355-357 Court Street), he built the Klinger (459 State Street) and Schreiber (475 State Street) buildings, and the New Eckerian Building (145-147 North Liberty). This construction took place primarily in 1907-1908. Occupants of the Paulus building (355-357 Court Street) were: Louis U. Josse Furniture 1907-1910 until partner Wallace W. Moore joined in 1910 and store became Josse & Moore Furniture Company; in 1919, Moore bought out Josse and the store became W. W. Moore Furniture Company; Oscar B. Gingrich Motor and Tire Company (Maxwell, Hupmobile, Mitchell and Jordon automobiles) from 1920 to 1923; Giese-Powers Furniture Company from 1924 through 1929; vacant from 1930 through 1932; Isom M. Doughton Hardware from 1933 to 1993; the building was split in 1933, and numerous businesses occupied the western half (#357). Occupants of 357 Court Street starting in 1933 onward included Kay Typewriter Company, Court Street Radio and Appliance Co., Willamette Electric Furnace Company, the Grace Gustafson Antique Store, Verne's Sewing Machine Service (replaced the furnace company and antique store in 1946. The upstatires of the building was designated 363 Court Street and was occupied by the Ink Spot Printera and a small local newspaper, Your Town became tenants. In 1948, Kay Typewriters and Verne's relocated and were replace by Janck & Jill's. In 1956, Edward H. Williams Cards took over 357 Court and remained until the late 1980's. In 1984, the building was designated a local historic building by the City of Salem. The Paulus Building remained in the Paulus family until 1990, sold by the grandson of Christopher. The building had undergone little alteration over the years, and is one of only a few downtown commercial buildings retaining the character of earlier times. A copy of page 316 of the 1919-1920 R.L. Polk & Co. City Directory is present in the folder. Wallace W. Moore Furniture is listed at 371 Court Street.

A copy of the agreement to sell the property to E. Eckerian by Mark S. and Mary Skiff in October 1909, describes the plot of land on which the New Eckerian buildindg was constructed.

In July, 1991, Thomas J. King, architect, prepared an inspection report for the Christopher Paulus Building (333/357/363 Court Street NE) to establish what changes may been made to the original building, built in 1907. There are 12 observations listed. 1. The south (Court Street) facade has a flat roofed steel marquee projecting out over the sidewalk. Judging by the design and condition, this marquee appears to be no more than ten years old. The cables which support the marquee terminate at the building at square medallions which interrupt a moulding roughly at the second floor level. An old photograph shows that this is not the original design. 2. The left (west) storefront appears to be unchanged since the time the stores were divided. The green tiled bulkhead and bronze storefront framing fit the historic period. 3. The right (east) storefront is being re-built. It will replace a storefront not of the historical period. This new storefront follows the design of the existing, however the solid oak entrance door is not in keeping with the historic period. 4. The entrance to the stair that runs up the east side of the building and the stair itself seem to have been fitted into the building after it was originally built. The west wall of the stairwell instesects the glass transom in an awkward way. There is evidence in the plaster of the east wall of the stairwell of the former U-shaped mezzanine indicated ont he Sanborne Map. 5. The transom over the storefronts (a grid of square glass panes held in thin metal muntins) fit the historic period. It is divided at the center of the building which indicates that the masonry pier dividing the storefronts is of the historic period. 6. The Sanborne Map indicates three windows on the west (alley) wall. There are presently eight windows, all of which are identical in design and wear. The brickwork does not appear to have been cut or altered. 7. The north (rear) wall has been exposed by the removal of the one story shed which existed for most of the history of the building. There's evidence of original arched brick window openings that will link the stores to a new receiving wing now under construction. The previous addition of a concreete bridge in the northeast corner, which links the Paulus building to a neighboring warehouse, has eliminated one second floor window. 8. The straight grained fir flooring on both floors is original. There is original plaster on the walls. Baseboards are original but in the west sotre have been removed and kept. The original fir ceiling boards are intact and covered by plaster. The second floor ceiling has been removed exposing original framing below the roof. 9. The staircase to the basement and the mezzanine in the west store does not appear to be original as evidenced by the Page 91 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects framing in the basement. Inspection of the first floor framing from the basement beneath doesn't reveal any other framed opening for a stairwell. The fir flooring on the second floor contains sseams which suggest that an earlier stair to this level may have run up the north wall in the east store. This stair may have turned and run south near the center of the back of the building. The plaster ceiling below prevents confirmation of ceiling openings. 10. The mezzanines across the north end of both stores are probably remnants of the U-shaped mezzanine shown on the Sanborne map. 11. The configuration of piers and beams in the center of the southern end of the basement suggest a central recessed entrance may have been the original storefront desigh. 12. There is no evidence of original lighting fixtures or hardware.

A copy of the page of the 1926 Sanborne Map showing the blocks surrounded by State, Commercial, Chemeketa and Liberty Streets is present in the folder. The building details for the entire area are included.

An article from the Statesman Journal, July 14, 1991 is present in the folder. The article features photographs of a couple walking along Court Street and of the interior of Great Harvest Bakery on Court Street. The heading for the page is "The Changing Face of Court Street" and sub-articles include "Project Turns Area into Business Hub," "Merchangs Hope Problem of Loitering has Moved On," and "Location Has Lured Several Businesses to Downtown Salem." A project had been undertaken to revive the 300 and 400 blocks of Court Street. By 1989, the area was mostly abandoned. By July,1991, the following new businesses had moved in: Great Harvest Breat (339 Court Street); The Governor's Cup Coffee Shop (471 Court); Absolutely Aussie (423 Court); Western Piano (450 Court); Jay Maulkey frame shop (355 Court) was due the next month; Tops and More (357 Court) was due in September. Whitlock's Vacuum Cleaner Clinic (455 Court) had been there for 40 years and owner Dennis Whitlock was pleased by the new changes.

Box 08 1.05 1907-1991 Paulus Draft, 355, 357, 363 Court Street NE

The application for the National Register of Historic Places nomination and associated research materials for the Christopher Paulus Building are present in this folder. The Christopher Paulus Building was constructed as a rental investment in 1907 by Christopher Paulus, contractor; as such, it was originally designed and built to meet the needs of the small independent merchant. The first lessors used the whole building from 1908 to 1929. After a two year vacancy in the Depression, Paulus divided the building into two stores. Tiled storefronts and bronze framed windows were added then. The building is a two-story commercial structure with storefronts at 355 and 357 Court Street NE, and a second floor residence at 363 Court Street NE. The building was designated as a local historic resource in 1987. Salem was originally a wooden city. With streets 99 feet wide, fires downtown were contained within one block or one half block. The need for fire resistant construction was soon evident. By 1907, the lot bought by Paulus was occupied by two small one-story wood structures occupied by a Chinese store and a Chinese laundry. These two structures were removed along with an Oregon white oak at the back, under which Col. E.D. Baker is supposed to have made his farewell address when he went east to become one of Oregon's first two U.S. Senators. According to a grandson, Christopher Paulus used the services of two sons, Fred and George, to do the hard construction work, such as pouring in place the concrete foundations and bringing supplies to their father. Non-historic changes to the structure include a 1940's street entrance added for stairs built against the east wall to provide an exterior access to the second story. Surrounding stucco finish is newer than the original, as is some other stucco on the lower facade, and the eastern store facade was shortened. In 1991, the back wood-receiving shed was found filled with dryrot, and replaced with a fire resistant structure meeting the building code and current needs. On the roof, a built-up fiberglass roof replaces leaky tar paper and units are installed to provide heat and air conditioning. The owners at the time of the National Register application (1991) were Carole Smith and Eric Kittleson, who went through the City's alteration review process to restore the facade of 357 Court Street to resemble the existing facade of 355 Court Street. The owners had been consulting with the State Historic Preservation Office on the interior alterations, and the State had concluded that the renovation work was being completed according to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. Prior to the recent first floor renovation, 355 Court Street had been virtually unaltered, as the tenant, Doughton's Hardware occupied the space for nearly 60 years. The retail space at 357 Court Street and the second floor have been altered by variouis tenants over the years, and both were being renovated. The Paulus Building, at the time of National Register application, was the last remaining historically, architecturally intact Commercial Style building of two stories built in the early 1900's left in Salem. Comparative studies were conducted to assess the status of the Paulus Building. Case Study #1 was the Bayne Building located at 337-349 State Street (Local Historic Building) designed by W.C. Knighton in a variation of the two story Commercial Style. Case Study #2 was the Goughnour Garage Building located at 246 State Street (Local Historic Building). The National Register application contains 18 photographs of the location before and after the Paulus Building was constructed, including the Chinese store and laundry, unpaved Court Street in early 1907, and the various occupants of the Page 92 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects 1907 structure. The State Historic Preservation Office approved the nomination on October 24, 1991, and forwarded it to the National Register. The National Register of Historic Places application was completed by David Duniway.

An Oregon Statesman article from July 7, 1862 offers a reward for two geldings stolen from the Durbin Livery Stable.

An Oregon Statesman article from October 6, 1862 desribes each day of the State Fair. Day 4 features Durbin's horse Redtail that won the first, second, and third miles of the 4 mile race and came in "not more than one or two seconds behind" in the final mile. Durbin was awarded the prize: "Durbin, we understand, however, was awarded the premium and purse, in sonsequence of the irregularity of Mr. Berry's entry of Humboldt, he having entered him at th eoffice after the books were closed and in the hands ofthe committee." The race was against time. The horse Black Hawk was the trotting winner on the second day. An Oregon Stateman article from December 1, 1862 describes a fire at the Durbin Livery Stables; it appears that the horses and carriages were saved, but the buildings and adjoining blacksmith shop were lost; other buildings surrounding the livery stable were saved. A subsequent article advertises a Cotillion Party at Durbin's New Stable, to take place on March 20, 1863.

An Oregon Statesman article from December 8, 1862 describes an injury that Solomon Durbin's son incurred in which his throat was badly cut when he fell upon a stick he was holding in his mouth. In the same issue, the annual report of the Foreman of Alert Hook & Ladder Co. listed the livery stable fire among their seven calls during the past year. An Oregon Statesman article from May 4, 1863 describes the upcoming Colt Fair to take place in June 1863, that will feature the horses Black Hawk, Paul Jones, Stockton and Waterloo. An Oregon Statesman article from June 29, 1863 describes the daily events from the Marion County Fair. Paul Jones won the second premium for Yearlings, and Black Hawk took the third premium. A Durbin horse is also mentioned in the trotting Page 98 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects matches. Excerpts from Productions of Agriculture records for North Salem, June 1870 include Isaac and Solomon Durbin.

The Oregon Weekly Statesman from September 23, 1897 provides the obituary for "Grandpa" John Durbin, just weeks before his 103rd birthday. At the time of his death, he was living with his grandson, Duncan Ross near Howell Prairie.

A copy of the Last Will and Testament for Isaac Durbin is in the folder, along with an inventory of his real and personal property, and the probate reports for Isaac's personal and real properties at the time of his death in 1913. Individuals named in the will are: wife Olive Durbin, daughter Loretta Ross, Daughter Lela Jerman, daughter Myrtle Bechtel, John Wolf and Martha Wolf (sources of property).

A photocopy of an undated picture of Charles Durbin is present in the folder. A copy of pages 474-490 of the Historical Collections of Ohio in Two Volumes, Volume II, by Henry Howe, LLD, is present. These pages describe the organization of Richland County, Ohio. The Durbin family had migrated from Richland County to Oregon. The Fitting, Litton and Martin families were also from Richland County.

A copy of page 105 from Who's Who in the Buckeye State, published in 1917, features Raymond Durbin (born in 1879) and William W. Durbin (born in 1866). Neither of these individuals has clear ties to the Durbins in Oregon.

A letter from Virginia Cross Peters, great-great- granddaughter of John Durbin, sent to David Duniway in February 1988, describes a few aspects of the move of John and Sarah on the Oregon Trail, and their settling in Howell-Prairie. A Collection Receipt indicates that Virginia Cross Peters also donated a Baptists (Oregon) pamphlet from the Central Baptist Association, minutes of the first anniversary of the Central Baptist Asssociation (1858) that contain the signatures of Sarah A. Durbin and R.A. Barker (married Sarah's sister), and a resolution in support of Bro. Eld. Joab Powell. Correspondence to Virginia Cross Peters from Alma Watt Chessman, containing additional details about the Durbin family is present. In May, 1988, James Elgin contacted David Duniway and provided a brief description of the family research he was doing; James Elgin had spent over $7,000 in stabilizing the Wilson-Durbin House. Also in May 1988, David Duniway contacted the Ohio Genalogical Society in which he forwarded a Durbin family chart, and requested information about the Liltton, Martin, Fitting and Durbin families. Letter from James H. Elgin to David Duniway, June 16, 1988, acknowledges receipt of a packet of materials about Solomon Durbin. Additional individuals identified were: Levica Elvira Ruby Elgin (also called Livisee Elvira Lucatha, and Levisee Elvira Lucatha Elgin), William Russell Sewall, Martha Sophia Elgin. A copy of a page from Who's Who in the Buckeye State from 1917, lists Raymond Durbin (son of William Nixon Durbin and Margaret Elizabeth Border) and William W. Durbin (son of William W. Durbin and Margaret Lipold).

A list and map of cemeteries in Richland County, Ohio, is present in the folder.

Sol Durbin was initiated into the Oregon Grand Lodge on February 2, 1870. F.W. Durbin was initiated into the Oregon Grand Lodge on December 30, 1893. Copies of their respective membership records are present.

A copy of two pages from the Dictionary of American Biography, Volume XII, 1933 feature William McKinley. As there are no refernces to Oregon or individuals known to be from Oregon, it is not clear why this document is present in this folder.

Box 08 1.11 1851-1985 Wilson, Joseph G & Elizabeth Millar (also mistakenly called Miller) This folder traces the history of Elizabeth Millar ( - 1913) who traveled down the Atlantic Coast and crossed the Isthmus of Panama with three other young women in 1851 to teach at the (later known as Pacific University). Elizabeth married Joseph G. Wilson (1826-1873) (see Wilson Durbin folder 1.10 in Box 08) who served as a circuit court judge, wrote three volumes of the Oregon Code of Laws, and in 1872 was elected to Congress, although he died before taking office. Joseph G. Wilson died July 2, 1873, at the home of Mr. R.P. Iams, where he was stopping during his stay in Marietta, Ohio, to give the commencement speech at Marietta College. His remains were buried in Mound Cemetery in Marietta. His family had been in the process of moving from Oregon to Georgetown in Washington, D.C. for his Congressional position, and they returned to Oregon at his death.

An article written by Owen Hawley, for The Tallow Light, Vol. 18, No 2, entitled "Two from Marietta's Mound Cemetery: Mary Page 99 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects (Dauber) Chamberlain and Joseph Gardner Wilson" begins with the note "Not everyone with a tombstone in Marietta's Mound Cemetery is necessarily buried there." The research in this paper determined that Wilson was "removed to Dallas (sic.), Oregon, 20 Oct., 1913." The document "Wasco County, Oregon Cemetery Records, Records from cemeteries outside The Dalles area" published by The Genealogical Forum of Portland, Oregon, Inc.," 1979, lists Joseph Gardner Wilson in Pioneer City Grave Yard, The Dalles; his son, Alfred W. Wilson, who died at age 13, is also listed as being buried therein.

Correspondence from Elizabeth Buehler to David Duniway indicates that she had forwarded essays and writings from Elizabeth Millar Wilson to David. Transcribed excerpts of letters written by Elizabeth Millar Wilson to her daughter, Lucy Wilson Peters, from 1892 through 1904, and Lucy's recollections from 1913 are included in the folder. The writing details her life from the time she arrived in Oregon in 1851 from South Argyle, New York through her visit with Jennie Michell Martineua, a Native American, in March 1913. Elizabeth's father and family were to have left on the same steamer with Elizabeth, but they were delayed. Elizabeth's brother Frank Millar, and Mr. John B. Thurston, a delegate at large to Congress, were part of their party. During the voyage, Mr. Thurston became sick and died. Joseph Gardner Wilson came to Oregon in 1852 on the S.S. Lewis, around the Horn. He was one of the few survivors of the voyage. He married Elizabeth Millar in 1854. The children of Joseph and Elizabeth were 3 sons: Alfred, Jessie and Frederick; and 3 daughters: Genevieve (Mrs. F. Pierce Mays), Grace (Mrs. Charles Wallace Taylor) and Lucy (Mrs. Joseph T. Peters). Alfred and Jessie did not survive childhood.

Elizabeth Millar Wilson's letters described her interactions with the Indians, mail communications, and a number of events. Places where they lived typically abutted Indian lands. She mentioned Mr. Wilbur of the Simcoe Indian Agency, and Skamiah's revolt. Her comment, "Many times in less than a generation, I have been struck with the contrast between the accomplished facts and the condition of things when I first saw them" described the changes (improvements) in the Indians' lives that she had seen. She mentioned Archie Lawyer, the son of a Nez Perce chief who took charge of the horses of Lewis and Clark on their expedition. Lawyer earned his name because of his abilitiy and astuteness in managing both white men and those of his own race; he had learned to read well, being a student of H.H. Spaulding. Jennie Mitchell (T-sinis-tum) was another Indian Elizabeth had known. Jennie was the wife of the last chief of the Nehalums, Wah-tat-cum, and when her husband died, she returned to Clatsop country and married Michel Martineau. Jennie was the last of her race, and no one around her spoke Clatsop; she did not speak English, and might have understood Chinook but did not speak it.

One of the contributors to the history of Elizabeth and Joseph Wilson was granddaughter Elizabeth Buehler, long-time field historian for the Oregon Historical Society. Elizabeth Buehler was featured in The Oregonian, December 26, 1985, as she was preparing to spend 2 years in the Peace Corps in Thailand. The article provides some of her personal and family history. Buehler had led several tours that retraced portions of the Oregon Trail. The son of Elizabeth and Joseph Wilson, Frederick, the youngest of 4 children surviving to adulthood, was 6 months old when his father died. He became a circuit judge for Wasco County, and gained a reputation as an authority on waterway transportation on the Columbia and its tributaries. Frederick Wilson was Elizabeth Buehler's father.

The obituary from Judge Fred W. Wilson, son of Joseph G. Wilson, from the Oregon State Bar Bulletin, November 1955, identifies his wife as Content Elton Wilson, and his children as Mrs. J.A. Buehler of Portland and Joseph W. Wilson of San Rafael, California.

News articles that referenced the Wilson family include: Judge and Mrs. Wilson were living in The Dalles at the time of the Judge's death. Oregon Statesman, January 18, 1933: J.G. (Joe) Wilson was one of the most popular men in Oregon in the early days. Sensing the sure growth of the capital city, he became a large holder of downtown property. He built his house were the Bligh Theatre (Capitol?) is now, and it became a pioneer hotel under several names. Oregon Statesman, November 3, 1854: announces marriage of Joseph Gardner Wilson and Elizabeth Millar. Oregon Statesman articles regarding the W.H. Wilson residence and estate sales were listed from April 14 to May 26, 1855; January 19 to February 16, 1858; November 2 to November 30, 1858; and March 15 to April 15, 1859. Oregon Statesman, December 3, 1858: announces Joseph Wilson bought lots 5, 6, 7, 8 - Block 60, from Chloe A. Willson for $75.

Daily Statesman, December 16, 1871: Judge Wilson of The Dalles, has lately sold his property in Salem. The Republican League Register from 1896 lists Fred W. Wilson, son of Joseph G. Wilson. The 1905 History of Central Oregon describes Hon. Joseph G. Wilson, his education and accomplishments, and his family on pages 221 and 222. This article identifies members of Elizabeth Millar's family as well, althouh spelling Millar as Miller: father James O. Miller, mother Amanda Davisson Miller, brother James Franklin (killed by Apache Indians in Arizona), sister Ella the widow of General Cuvier Groner (of Rome, ), and Mary widow of Senator James K. Kelley (of Washington, D.C.).

The History of the Bench & Bar of Oregon, from 1910, includes Joseph G. Wilson on page 282. In 1860 he was appointed Didtrict Attorney for the Third Judicial District. In 1862, he was appointed Judge of the Fifth Judicial District by Governor A.C. Gibbs. In 1873 he was eleected to U.S. Congress, but died before he was appointed. "He was a very bright man and was unusually jovial and pleasant as a companion."

Oregon Statesman, July 16, 1937: Joseph G. Wilson literally made Salem the Capitol of Oregon. In

Box 08 1.12 1842-1874 Willson, William H. & Chloe Clark The folder contains a document entitled Salem Titles, History of the Title to Real Estate in Salem. The date of publication is not indicated; the dates referenced in the document range from 1842 to 1874. The information provided was written by J. Quinn Thornton, the attorney for the partnership, and may be biased, since he notes that he receives less and less payment from the partnership (although his wife was given two lots). The primary document in this folder lays out the events leading to the establishment of downtown Salem. In 1845, the Turstees of Oregon Institute (Wallamet University, Willamette University) made provisions for continuing the school and for surveying and laying out a city. In the Provisional Government, there had been no existence of Oregon Institute in the law. When the Trustees of the Institute took steps by creating a partnership to protect the Institute from claim jumpers, conflict arose with other citizens. The Trustees arranged with Rev. David Leslie to contribute 200 acres, L.H. Judson to contribute 320 acres, Henry B. Brewer to contribute 80 acres, and W.H. Willson to contribute 40 acres of their own land claims, which adjoined the Institute. The law under the Provisional Government did allow for this type of partnership. On July 11, 1847, the land (640 acres) was secured as a partnership claim. It was advised that the land be held by one person whose integrity might be regarded as proof against temptation, and W.H. Willson was selected. Parcels of this land were sold to entities intended to be in the city, such as the Court, and profits were paid to the partnership for the benefit of the Insititute. The Provisional Government was replaced by the Territorial Government on August 14, 1848, and the Land Law of September 27, 1850 passed. The Land Law stated that one-half of the land donated to a husband should enure to his wife. Willson had been growing wealthy from the sale of the property. On July 28, 1853, he obrained his certificate of final proof, indicating that he and his wife had induced the Surveyor General to divide the entire remaining claim (about 120 acres), by running a line north and south and assigning the east half to his wife, Chloe A. Clark Willson. J. Quinn Thornton, the attorney who had consulted for the partnership since the begining, appealed to the Surveyor General of Oregon, explaining the original agreement. By dividing the remaining 120 acres with Chloe, W.H. Willson had laid personal claim to the partnership's land, claiming that the law under which the partnership had shared the land no longer existed due to the change from the Provisional to Territorial Government. Eventually, on December 2, 1854, Willson proposed to turn over two thirds of his property to the Trustees of Wallamet University for the endowment of the University. The Board of Trustees was compelled to accept the proposition. W.H. Willson died in 1856. On February 4, 1860, the patent for the Salem land claim was issued from Washington, D.C. The widow and heirs of W.H. Willson proceeded to induce Salem property holders to pay large sums of money as the price of peace, and as consideration for making confirmatory deeds, in default of which payment, families were menaced. The folder also contains a copy of the act to locate the County Seat for Champoeg County in Salem, passed August 28, 1849, and a copy of the Plot of the Town of Salem, Champoeg County, Oregon Territory from April 14, 1848.

Copies of the photographs submitted with the National Register nomination form are present in the Page 112 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects folder. A copy of the Oregon Statesman article from July 10, 1888 describes the dedication of the Convent. The activities began with a procession from the college of Benedictine brothers, led by Bishop W.H. Gross. Others involved in leading aspects of the dedication included: Rev. Father Adelhelm O'Dermott, Rev. Father Barnabas Held, Rev. Father Leo Hubsher, Rev. Father Dominicus, Rev. Father Wachdenachwyler, Peter Bulgen, Rev. Mother Superior Mary Bernadine. In selecting their architects, the Sisters followed the guidance of the presiding Bishop. As a German-speaking group ministering to the German-speaking Catholics, of the area, it is not surprising that these German Swiss Sisters employed in every case but one, architects who reflected German traditions. Otto Kleeman, who designed the orginal convent or academy was a native of Ostrow, Posen Province, Germany, now Poland. Kleeman was based in Portland, doing much Railroad work, many Catholic churches, monasteries, convents and other Catholic buildings. Joseph (Josef) Jacobberger, the designer of the North Wing, was born in Alsace-Lorraine, then part of France. Jacobberger was based in Portland, and worked in many projects including the Frank E. Dooly house, and many Catholic and non-Catholic commissions. Englebert Gier was the designer of the South Wing including the chapel; he was born in Aachen, Germany, and resided in Mount Angel. Emil Schacht & Son designed Mount Angel Academy, now called Howard Hall; Emil was a native of Southern Denmark, now West Germany. Schacht designed business blocks, hotels, apartments, warehouses, garages and other public buildings in Portland. McNaughton, Raymond and Lawrence designed the Well House; they were an architectural and engineering firm from 1906 to 1910 in Portland, and designed the E.F. Lawrence house, the Peter Keer house, and the Albina Branch Library. The Queen of Angels Priory includes extensive grounds and a park area. The Convent has always been associated with the Benedictine Abbey located to the east. The Sisters have provided kitchen, laundry, library and printing press services for the Abbey. Historically in settlement of Oregon, the Benedictine Order came to the state with the migration of Germanic peoples at the time the railroad mad possible Immigration Trains, and homesteading in the forested foothills of the Willamette Valley. At the same time they served the urbanized Gremans in the small towns of the Valley, and they reached out to the Inidans. Because of the high standards of their educational programs, they were welcomed by Catholics and Non-Catholics alike. In 1977, a workshop was held that provided a mini-history of Queen of Angels Priory, back to the founding of the Order in the early 6th century; a copy of the mini-history is present in the folder. Sister Ursula Hodes included in a thesis, information about activities of Mt. Angel, Oregon between 1848 and 1912, and three pages from this document are present in the folder.

Information from Sister Mary Hilda Flerckinger describes the early beginings of the Convent Queen of Angels, and indicates changes in the Priory before and after 1912. A timeline of religious education in Mt. Angel depicts the changes from 1856 through 1972, from the first public shcool, Lone Pine District, located south of the Abbey hop picker (1856), to the first St. Mary's Church (1880-1884), to the Compulsory Education Bill passed in Oregon (1922), Mt.

Box 09 1.08 1890-1913 Railroads News articles from December 1901 describe train wrecks in Salem. The Oregon Statesman, December 8, 1901, describes "An open switch resulted in an Awful Wreck a few hundred yards from the Station and in sight of many scores of Salem's citizens yesterday. None of the passengers were hurt - the mangled fireman lived two hours after he was injured." The article further describes Fireman Fish, who had attempted to save himself by jumping out of the cab of the engine, struck the end of the bridge where he was caught under the end of the mail car. Brakeman Charles Smith and several citizens under the direction of Supt. J.L. Lambirth of the Salem Light, Power & Traction Company had rescued Fireman Fish. Engineer William White was caught in the cab of his engine, with his left leg jammed against the Loller Head for two hours. The train Conductor was D.L. Houston, and the Brakemen were Andrew Ford and Charles Smith. The accident tore up the track for about 200 feet. The Daily Journal, December 9, 1901, features Fireman Silas L. Fish, stating that "Last words of Fireman Fish, a tribute to his character." His last words were "No, I don't want any whisky." The Oregon Statesman, on December 10, 1901, describes "Another wreck at the Passenger Depot" in which two freight trains in a head-end collision on the Mill Creek Bridge caused great excitement. This occurred 48 hours after the previous wreck. In this wreck there were no injuries, just damage to the trains. Crews of these two trains were: Conductor C. Winkler, Conductor Walter Morran, Engineer John Paulson, Fireman Willets, Engineer W. G. Lovejoy, and Fireman F.H. Bolter. Foreman Napp spoke for the wrecking (clean-up) crew.

Box 09 1.09 1868-1992 Reed Opera House, 189 & 177 Liberty Street, MCHS Historic Building Inventory The Reed Opera House consists of two structures: an Italiante business buildling of 1869-1870, designed by G.W. Rhodes, architect for General Cyrus S. Reed, and the McCornack Block addition, built as a furniture store in 1902 for E.P. McCornack, proprietor of the Reed Opera House and President of First National Bank. The architect of the addition has yet to be identified. Associated with these buildings as part of a shopping mall, is the Montgomery Ward Building, an American Colonial design store building of 1936, built for Montgomery Ward Company of Chicago; this architect has also yet to be identified. The three buildings have been joined together to provide a mall of specialty stores and restaurants, and an attempt has been made to maintain the original facade of each building above the first floor level.

The folder includes the National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form, prepared by David Duniway in 1977.

In 1869, C.A. Reed had entered into a contract with the State Government to build a building for State offices with a store on the first floor. His idea was to provide permanent office space for State executives, overnight rooms for legislators, circuit judges and the like, and a meeting hall that could also be used as a ballroom. After a change in State Administration, an argument developed over the interpretation of the contract, so Reed changed the building into an Opera House and Hotel. Reed noted that most of Salem's downtown structures were wood-framed, and that many were lost to fire; thus he built the opera house entirely of brick and stone. More than 1,000,000 bricks went into the building. The interior of the Opera House originally consisted of seven stores on the ground level; on the Liberty Street end there were offices on the second and third floor, with those on the third floor being designed for the Oregon State Supreme Court and the State Library. The third and fourth bays on Court street, second floor, was the Opera House. The eastern portion of the building was the Opera House, Tremont or Commercial Hotel.

General Cyrus A. Reed had been Adjutant General of Oregon during the latter part of the Civil War. He came to California in the Gold Rush, then to Astoria in 1850, and to Salem in 1852. He was associated with many financial enterprises: Jones, Reed & Co. sash and blind company, Willamette Woolen Manufacturing Company, the first telegraph, and the Oregon Central Rail Road. Reed was an organizer of the Republican Party in Oregon, served three terms in the State Legislature, framed the militia law, sponsored the bill for building the first State Capitol, and bills regulating gambling, closing saloons on election day, and prohibiting public executions. In April 1858, C.A. Reed was a director at the first meeting of the Salem School Board. Reed was insterested in women's rights and was one of 2 male officers in the Woman Suffrage Society in Oregon, organized in 1870. Reed also had interests in spiritualism, dramatics, and was a self-taught artist who painted the scenes for his theater. He built the Opera House from funds obtained through real estate development, and at first he ran both the Opera House and the Hotel, but this proved to be more costly than planned. Reed lost the building through financial troubles and E.P. McCornack (sometimes written McCormack) took over ownership until 1900. Reed married twice, first to Lucinda Coffin in 1850, with whom he raised 7 children, and second to Jennie Clive in 1876, with whom he raised 4 more children. He died July 9, 1910, at the age of 85. Until its closure in 1900, the Opera House, which seated 1500 people, provided a stage for traveling dramatic troups, the Salem Dramatic Association, the Salem Musical Union, the Firemen's Annual New Years Ball, Governor's Inagurations, political meetings, community celebrations, dances, lectures and other similar uses.

Miller was born in Joliet, Illinois in 1883, and came to Oregon with his parents at age 10. He lived in Corvallis until 1925 when he moved to Salem. In 1932, Miller joined Leo N. Childs in a real estate partnership. Miller was the president of the Oregon Association of Real Estate Boards in 1934-35, and at his death was president of the State Finance Co. In 1952, Miller made an agreement with the City so he could put in a car port, and a copy of the agreement is available. At some point, Miller divorced his first wife, Elva, who acquired the Lefelle property in the divorce. His second wife was named Jessie; dates of his divorce and second marriage are not documented in the folder. Miller died in 1961 at the age of 77. At the time of his death, Miller was living at 310 Candelaria Blvd. S. He had 2 sons: Ernest H. Miller and Jack M. Miller.

Howard V. Morgan, a subsequent occupant of the property, had served as Oregon's public utililty commissioner and state chairman of the Democratic Party before his nomination by President Kennedy to the Federal Power Commission in 1961. Mrogan's failure to list two minor arrests in 1936 and 1937 on his federal employment form sparked a controversy during the Senate Commerce Committee hearings, although he was finally confirmed by at 57-27 vote. Morgan emerged as a maverick who opposed many of the Commission majority's decisions. His most prominent act as commissioner was his resignation, announced in January 1963 in a highly publicized letter to President Kennedy. His letter implied that his fellow commissioners were dominated by the private utilities, stating "Utility regulation can easily become a fraud upon the public and a protective shield behind which monopoly may operate to the public detriment."

The Polk Directory of residents of 415 Lefelle S. indicate these occupants. 1924 through 1956: Ernest A. Miller 1957: Howard Morgan 1972: Lois L. Colbath 1975: Thomas Guthrie

An advertisement in the Sunday Oregon Statesman, for the week ending November 6, 1927, announces that Hawkins & Roberts have money to loan on residences, business and farm property.

January 8, 1985, David Duniway prepared a memo regarding his visit with Ben Colbath at City Title. Ben had spoken with Ernest Miller, wh said he had acquired the house from Roberts after it stood vacant 3 years. Miller had owned the Livesly House for 2 years before moving to the house on Lefelle. January 10, 1985, David Duniway prepared a memo regarding his visit with Ernest H. Miller, son of Ernest A. Miller. The notes include recollections about his father, the house and growing up in the neighborhood.

Box 09 1.11 1932-1983 Robertson (Dr. Charles & Mildred) House, 460 Lefelle Street South The Robertson House is an English Provincial style home that sits on a hill with views to the north over the city to the Washington volcanoes. The house is one of the more significant homes in Fairmount Hill, designed by Clarence L. Smith in 1932. The terrace garden on the south side of the house was designed by Lord and Schryver.

The National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for the house is present in the folder; the property was entered into the National Register on May 19, 1983.

Page 120 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects Dr. Charles G. and Mrs. Apperson Robertson had built their dream home, and lived there until 1941, when Charles left for a tour in the Navy, and rented the home to a Legislator. Mrs. Robertson was the daughter of E.C. Apperson, a banker in McMinville for over 40 years, who had come to Oregon in 1847 with his parents over the Oregon Trail. Dr. Charles G. Robertson was the son of Charles H. Robertson who had come to Oregon as a baby in 1870. Dr. Charles G. Robertson was one of the founders of Salem Clinic, and his son (Dr. Charles G. Robertson, Jr.) was a partner in the clinic until he went into the US Navy Medical Corps.

The second owner, Carl Nelson, wrote rhymes and is the author of the University of Oregon fight song. He was also a pilot and flew his own plane, and invented a cereal (Wheat-Os), and a wool broker. Nelson owned the house for 10 years. Nelson was a succesful businessman by the age of 35. He and his wife, Genevieve, had three children: Wayne Stuart Nelson, Janice Nelson (Mrs. William Ean) and Reed Heron Nelson. After the death of his first wife, he married Margaret Ellen Nelson, a widow, who taught at St. Helen's Hall in Portland. (Margaret was a friend of Janice.) She was not well accepted in Salem, although she was active in many public services. They started for Europe, but she came back and filed for divorce. He followed her back, obtained a gun from a friend, and fatallly shot himself at his office at Nelson & Fitzmaurice in 1951.

Nancy Gormsen was the third owner of the home, and owned it at the time of the National Register application. Robert M. Gormsen was Secretary-Treasurer of the Valley Tractor Company in the 1950's and later held various positions in the State Department of Transportation.

Nancy Gormsen had approached Mrs. Nelson after Mr. Nelson died and told her of her interest in the house. Nancy was able to purchase someof the furniture as well as the house. Mrs. Nelson has been married 4 times since her divorce, and lived in Santa Barbara in 1982. Nancy also noted that the relations between Mr. Nelson's children and Mrs. Nelson were not good, as they were disturbed that she received half of the estate.

In an interview with Tom Kay on September 18, 1982, David Duniway learned that Dr. Charles Robertson, the elder, had brought Tom Kay into the world. Dr. Robertson Jr. was Tom Kay's contemporary and sewed up Tom's hand when it was injured. Tom Kay also provided background information regarding Carl Nelson and Jack Fitzmaurice (Carl's partner in the Nelson & Fitzmaurice wool brokering firm).

Box 10 1.01 1891-1924 Salem Iron Works, Front and State Streets

The Salem Iron Works was listed in the Salem Directory in 1891, with B.F. Drake, Proprietor, and T.G. Perkins, Superintendent. Among products listed were steam engines, mill outfits, water wheeels, governors, and traction engines. An article from the 1903 Statesman Illustrated Annual describes the Salem Iron Works as the largest and best equipped general machine shop and foundry in the Willamette Valley south of Portland. Hop and fruit dryer stoves were manufactured at Salem Iron Works, and the demand for these stoves in 1902 was so great that the shops were unable to supply the market. In the 1903, Mr. H.M. Edgar was the manager of the works; he had been born near Dallas in 1872. The article describes Edgar as a "thorough, up-do-date mechanic, a shrewd business manager, and a man of sterling character." He is also described as turning out more work than any other manager in charge of this plant within the past 10 years. In an advertisement in the Daily Journal from March 1, 1902 , James Gill, a lessee at Salem Iron Works, offers a good line of patterns for housework columns, lintels, gratings, steps and finials, all kinds of iron and brass castings, and repairs of all kinds of farm and mill machinery. Citings of Salem Iron Works in the R.L. Polk Directories included: 1896, B.F. Drake, proprietor 1902, James Gill, lessee 1905, George W. Shand 1907, Fred F.

Box 10 1.02 1870-1953 Salem Theaters This folder contains history of Salem theaters, as described in a series of articles, primarily from the Oregon Statesman, Bits for Breakfast by R.J. Hendricks in December, 1931. Other articles include Early Theatrical History of Salem by E.Cooke Patton in an unidentified publication, and Capital Journal article by Ben Maxwell from 1953.

The first regular theater in Salem was in what was then known as the Griswold block, later called the Murphy block, on the southwest corner of Commercial and State Streets.

The second theater was in what was then knkown as the Holman block, later called the Turner block, at the northwest corner of Ferry and Commercial Streets. Offices in this building were used by the Oregon Legislature for 20 years; and the State Treasurer and State Library were housed there as well.

The third theater was in the Statesman building.

The fourth regular theater was Reed's Opera House, built in 1870 by C.A. Reed on the corners of Liberty and court Streets. After several years of financial problems, Reed lost the building and it was taken over by E.P. McCornack with acting manager Leo Willis. For many years, there was very poor heating in the building, and it was described as a "barn." There was no special time for the curtain to raise, as the stage manager waited for the audience to grow nervous and begin stamping their feet and calling out before he would raise the curtain and start the show. The pay for stage hands was one bowl of Chinese Noodles after every performance; ushers would handle the crowds just to see the show. Small boys would always find a way to get into the attic and bore a small hole in the ceiling so they could look down and see the show. E. Cooke Patton recalled that it was not uncommon to see a foot or a leg come through the ceiling during a performance. By 1898 E. Cook Patton and his brother Hal Patton had secured the lease of the theater from Mr. McCornack and they cleaned up the place, and added new scenery. In 1900, E.P. McCornack decided that since there was no money in the show business, he would remodel the building an install offices and store rooms.

Page 122 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects The fifth theater was built by the I.O.O.F Lodge and called The Grand Theatre, constructed at the corners of Ferry and Commercial Streets when the Reed Opera House closed. The Grand Theatre was originally going to be called Temple Grand Theatre, and the name was changed a few days before it opened.

The Vandette was the first moving picture house, opening in 1906, in the new building of David F. Wagner, at Court Street near Liberty. The proprietor was C.W. Mott. Mott sold the business to Jack Cooper who had started the Mascot movie, in about 1909. When T.G. Bligh came to Salem, he opened the Star Theater, on the north side of State Street, near Liberty. Mr. Bligh sooon took over the Klinger Grand of Fred Merril, and Bligh bought the Mascot from Cooper. Meanwhile, P.H. D'Arcy planned and built Ye Liberty Theatre on the east side of Liberty Street, between State and Court Streets, and the first lessee was K.L. Bernard who opened the theater in 1908, and soon sold the business to F.L Waters. Stanley Morgan joined with Waters, and they bought the Grand Theater and the Wexford, and ran all three movie houses. In 1909, T.G. Bligh came to Salem and opened the Star Theatre. In 1915, Bligh bought Ye Liberty Theater and soon sold it to George B. Guthrie, who closed it. In the beginning, all these movie theaters charged five cents per movie; the first to charge ten cents was the Star theater, and his competitors predicted that he would not last 60 days. In 1921, Bligh built the Bligh Hotel and opened the Bligh Theater there.

Between 1090 and 1912, there were eight or more moving picture houses in Salem.

In 1924, T.G. Bligh died from injuries received in an automobile accident. His son, Frank D. Bligh, took over his business. In 1926, he erected the Bligh block on the corner of High and State Streets, with the Bligh Capitol Theater on the State Street side.

A man named Davenport opened the Oregon Theatre in 1912, in the Oregon Building, which had been erected by Mrs. Hubbard (Fannie Kaiser), widow of Thomas Hubbard, at the corner of State and High Streets. George B. Guthrie, a prominent Portland attorney, had charge of the legal matters connected with the Oregon Theatre, and in 1913 he took it over and operated it with success, under the local management of Charles Otto Kupper. Guthrie also took over operations of the Grand Theatre and then planned and erected the Elsinore Theater in 1926. The opening night of the Elsinore was May 28, 1926. Individuals who worked in the Elsinore and were still in Salem at the time the 1931 article was written were: Blanche Hewett, Mark Renne, Samuel B. Collard. Mayor John B. Gisey mad a speech at the opening of the Elsinore.

Theatrical performances prior to the opening of the Grand Theater were occasionally held in other buildings, such as the Bennett House, the Pioneer Hotel, and the Wigwam (also known as Union House). In the 1860's the Sanitary Commission, the Red Cross of the day, fitted up a hall on the second floor of the Moores block, where the U.S. National Bank later stood, to give theatricals to raise money for hospital and other supplies for the wounded soldiers of the Union side. E. Cooke Patton recalled that in the early 1860's the Wigwam Theater stood on the corner of Center and Commercial Streets and contained an ice skating rink.

Joseph A. Baker, in 1931, was Salem's oldest citizen. He remembered acting in "Blackeyed Susan." He also remembered the construction of Reed's Opera House, a few of the early circuses, and the Grand Theatre.

The first circus in Salem was probably located near the northwest corner of State and Liberty Streets, in the early 1870's. The Montgomery Queen circus was held there in 1875. The third circus location was at Court and High Streets. Dan Costello's circus was held at the third location in approximately 1880. After that, the circus ground was moved opposite Sacred Heart Academy, at Center and Cottage Streets. From there, the circus grounds moved to the Southern Pacific grounds, east of the passenger depot on 12th Street.

The Warner Brothers, Major Albert Warner, Harry, Jack and Sam, and their father, Benjamin, started in Chicago as independent distirubtors of moving picture films from 11905 to 1910. During that time, they also started a couple of theaters, then they went to Hollywood and were highly successful. In 1920 the competion around motion pictures became fierce. In 1927, just before "talkies" arrived, the Warner Brothers almost went broke, and as a desperate last chance, they pushed "sound pictures" about 2 years ahead of the competition. By 1929, they had taken over another Hollywood studion and were procuding over 70 major pictures a year. In Salem in 1931, the Warner Brothers had long leases on both the Elsinore and Capitol Theaters, paying monthly rent to George B. Buthrie for the Elsinore and to Frank D. Bligh for the Capitol. At this time, Earl Rice was the Salem manager for the Warners. Except for Mr. Rice, who was from Wisconsin, all the Warner Brothers employees in Salem were from Salem. The finances for the Salem theaters was managed locally so that as much of the income from the theaters remained in Salem as possible.

The first performers who appeared in Salem in 1856 and several times thereafter were Thoman's Theatrical Troupe (which included Lizzie Gordon who later married Charley Stewart, a Portland saloon keeper). Page 123 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects In the 1940's and early 1950's, the Forman Brothers came to Salem and acquired all the downtown theaters except the Elsinore and the Capitol. In about 1951, they acquired the Elsinore and Capitol, too.

Some performers mentioned included: Tim Murphy, McHarras Minstrels, Jack McHarra, Blanch Walsh, Fanny Rice, Eugenia Blair, Frederick Warde, Burr McIntosh, Melbourne McDowell, Duncan Clarke's Female Minstrels, Carl Bosco, a "scandalous can-can show" one time during state fair week, Montgomery Queen Circus, Dan Costello's circus, Cole Circus, Thoman's Theatrical Troupe (Lizzie Gordon was one of the 3 members of this group), Grau Opera Company.

Box 10 1.03 1850-1985 Schools

The first school in Salem was a log cabin built in 1850, located on Marion and Commercial Streets. B.F. Bonham and Mrs. I.R. Moores were the first teachers.

Central School was built in 1857 and was Salem's second school; it stood on the northeast corner of Center and Commercial Streets.

The South (Barkus Mill) and North Schools were authorized by a school meeting held on April 2, 1866. South School, on Fir Street, when constructed, was outside the Salem city limits. The Salem city director for 1871 says John M. Garrison was the teacher at South for that year. In 1874, Miss Marie E. Smith was the teascher. In 1880, J.A. Sellwood was principal and Miss Addie Scriber was the teacher. In 1891, the last year school was held in the old building, James T. Matthews was principal and Miss S. Kate Dearborn was the assistant. In January of 1892, pupils withdrew from this two-room schoolhouse and were transferred to the new Lincoln School Shortly after, the building was purchased by William Ronnell and movde by "Deacon" George Hatch to its present location at 887 South Commercial Street. There, Ronnell operated a cider plant and machine shop until he was killed by a exploding emery wheel. Following, the establishmenet was owned and operated by Walter Buchner. W. Barkus acquired the plant in 1913, began operation of the W.A. Barkus Feed Mill. A photograph in the Capital Journal from April 17, 1948, identified the still living students in a photograph of the last class in attendance at South School: Harley White, Frank Minto, Roy Buckingham, Lewis and George Judson, Lillie Green, May Green, Carrie Hurst, Anna Nichols, Edith Miller, George Buckingham, Harry Hanson, Edward Baker, Ross Fishburn, Ernest Welch, Charles Lennon, Luther Lennon, Kinney Miller, Clare Schrieber and "Batty" Cooper.

Little Central and East Salem Schools were built between 1866 and 1869. Washington School replaced East Salem School in 1883.

The history of Rosedale School goes back to the Donation Land Claim of John and Caroline Jory, who moved onto their claim in 1850. The Jorys had settled in the Battle Creek area, and at one time the Jory brothers owned and farmed 2560 acres of land. Their orchards were known as Sunnyside Fruit Farms. In 1892, Rosedale was platted and the Rosedale school district was formed. The first school was held in a house next to Battle Creek, taught by Hula Cox. The Land Company donated a 5-acre site for a school, and in the summer of 1893, William and Robert McGilchrist built the original Rosedale School. The first teacher in the new school was Charlie Abbot. William McGilchrist, Jr. was the first pupil to graduate from the eighth grade, and James McGilchrist was the second. In about 1920, the one room school was remodeled, and a second room was added. The original school burned to the ground in 1952. Six months before the fire, Salem School District had decided to consolidate the Rosedale School District with the Salem School District, and to build a new school on Bates Road, not far away. The land for the new school was purchased from Floyd Bates. The old school bell is preserved in a glass cage and is on display in the hallway of the new school today. In 1957, when the report about the Rosedale School was prepared, the following individuals who had attended Rosedale School and were still living in the area were: Mrs. Helen Berndt, Kenneth Cole, Mrs. Shirley Thomas, and Mrs. Berchen Caldwell. Contributors to the information about the school included: Beatrice Drury, Forrest Cammack, Kenneth Cole.

Prospect School was built in 1885 on Skyline Road, which led from Liberty to the Willamette River. A vestibule was added to the school in 1890. The school was the center of the social life of the community: church services were held there on Sunday, and social gatherings of all kinds were held at the school. The first records of school in this area was a class taught by Mrs. John P. Gaines, wife of one of the first territorial governors of Oregon. This was around 1857. The Gaines place was on the present Cartwright Farms. Electricity was first brought into the school in 1930. Later, the children of this area went to Liberty School. This school was consolidated with Salem Schools at the same time as the Rosedale School.

The original Ankeny School was built in about 1853, shortly after the Jory brothers established their Donation Land Claim. The school was a log cabin about 3/4 mile southwest of the summit of Bunker HIll, near the south boundary of the Harold Jones Farm. Some of the first teachers were Frances McDonough, C.H. Matoon, and Lizzie Sager. Between 1870 and Page 124 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects 1880, a school was built farther north of the Ankeny School, called Fairview School. This was a one-room structure set up on oak blocks. Most of the pupils came from the Hartley and Jory families. In about 1900 a new school ws built across the road, and this was named Fairview School. About 1940, the name was changed to Ankeny because of the conflicting name with Fairview Home in Salem. Ankey School closed in 1945 because of the small enrollment. Subsequently, the building burned down.

On January 15, 1881, a new school district was established for the Sunnyside Area, and was to be known as District 96. Prior to this time, children of the area had attended school at Squirrel Hill (later relocated and known as Battlecreek School). In 1883, school was held for 3 months in a private home. By June of 1889, the citizens of the district were beginning to make plans to build a school house. On August 27, 1889, H.H. and Myera Savage gave a perpetual lease to a parcel of land for the school building so long as it was used for school purposes, and the school house was to known as Sunny Side School. In 1925, a new two-room school was built. In 1940, the Sunnyside District and the Illahee District were consolidated. In 1956, Sunnyside along with other rural school districts were required to consolidate with the district that provided high school, and Sunnyside School became part of Salem School District. This report was prepared by Ray and Violet Heckart in April 1974.

A Statesman article on May 1, 1915 describes the plans that have been adopted for McKinley School construction, to be located at the end of High Street, just inside the city limits, as one of the most beautiful sites in the city.

Box 10 1.04 1859-1997 Smith (Fry) House, 606 High Street SE The record of search for information regarding the Smith-Grover-Edes-Fry house indicates that the property was first acquired by Joseph Showalter Smith on March 30, 1859. At this time, the hill on which the house stood was referred to as Gaiety Hill; later it was referred to as Edes Hill, and then Fry Hill.

The gothic style house was built in 1859. By 1895, the porch extended along the north end of the house. In 1947, the porch was extended to three sides, supported by doric columns, with the aid of James L. Payne, AIA, and Linus Simpson, decorator.

The house and property were acquired by LaFayette Grover, brother-in-law of J.S. Smith, on October 1, 1868; and Grover was Governor while he lived in the house. The house and property were sold to George A. Edes on September 17, 1877 and placed in his wife's name on July 26, 1880. After Mrs. Edes' death, Daniel J. Fry, Sr., acquired the property though Capital National Bank on December 7, 1911, and the house subsequently passed to Daniel J. Fry, Jr. The gardens for the house were designed for Mrs. Daniel Fry, Sr., in approximately 1912, and the landscape architect may have been Joseph Maruny. The house is pictured in the 1878 "Illustrated Historical Atlas Map of Marion and Linn Counties, Oregon" on page 9.

Joseph Showalter Smith was a lawyer who became President of the Willamette Woolen Mills in 1865; this was the first woolen mill on the Pacific Coast and the most profitable. Smith was alson one of three incorporators of the Oregon Central Railroad in 1867. W.K. Smith, Joseph's brother, who lived with the family, acquired Salem's first drug store, maintaining a monopoly of that business within the city.

Lafayette Grover, brother-in-law of Joseph Smith, was the first U.S. Representative from Oregon in 1859, and U.S. Senator from 1877 to 1883. He served as Governor of Oregon from 1870 to 1877, until he resigned to become Senator. As Governor, Grover was involved in the development of river trade, the Willamette locks, public buildings, the State House, penitentary, state university, agricultural college (now Oregon State University), and the asylum for deaf mutes and the blind. Since he lived in the Smith while Governor, this house has the distinction of being the only Governor's Mansion of the nineteenth century still standing in Salem.

Daniel Fry, Sr., had come to Salem as a druggist in 1882, a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. He acquired his store in 1885, doing both wholesale and retail business until 1923. Fry also participated in the organizaiton of the Oregon Pulp and Paper Company and the Oregon Linen Mills and Salem; and he was President of First National Bank of Salem from 1925 to 1930. Daniel Fry, Jr., was also long active in Salem's economic development.

George Edes arrived in Oregon in 1853 and was a veteran of the Rogue River Indian War, 1855-1856, serving in the mounted volunteers. Mrs. Ruth Chapman Edes lived in the house seventeen years after the death of her husband, and the newspapers report many social events at the house, most notable of which was the marriage of her daughter, Helen Edes, to Henry W. Meyers. An article by Stuart Bush in the Oregon Statesman on December 14, 1947, entitled "Pioneer Home to Take on Olden Beauty" describes the house as having been erected by George Edes, but no other documents in this file support that comment.

Page 125 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects An application for listing the house in the National Register of Historic Places was prepared by David Duniway and submitted in 1977, but was not accepted because of the major alterations to the house that had occurred. Owners of the house in 1977 were Daniel J. Fry, Jr. and Marylee Fry Snell. Application information, with extensive details about the exterior and interior of the house and the gardens, is included in the folder. In 1947, the Frys remodeled the house with the assistance of James L. Payne and Linus Simpson. An interview in 1977 by David Duniway of the architect James L. Payne listed 15 significant changes that had been made to the structure im 1947.

Box 10 1.05 1859-1976 Smith, Joseph Showalter

This folder was assembled in 1974, when David Duniway was conducting research on the Joseph Showalter (also Schoewalter) Smith house, and includes references to the families of Joseph S. Smith, his brother W.K. Smith, Lafayette Grover, George Edes, and Daniel Fry, Sr. and Jr. Refer to Folder 1.04 in this same box (Box 10) for additional information regarding the house and the Smith brothers.

Lafayette Grover and George Edes are not mentioned in detail in this folder (#1.05).

In 1976, David Duniway prepared a list of results from a search for Joseph Showalter Smith, and the 4-page list of U.S. Census, biographical, land records, courts cases and news articles is included in the folder. Duniway also notes that there was more than one Joseph Smith. Likewise, a 2-page search list of information regarding Joseph's brother, W.K. Smith, is included in the folder.

The property for the Smith house was acquired by Joseph S. Smith in 1859, then sold to his brother-in-law, Lafayette F. Grover in 1868. Smith had become President of the Willamette Woolen Manufacturing company in 1863, and had been elected to Congress when he sold the property. Grover was manager of the Mill from 1867 to 1871, and became Governor in 1870. Grover sold the propperty to George A. Edes in 1877.

Dr. W.K. Smith, due to the influence of his brother of Joseph S. Smith, came to Salem from the gold fields of California in 1854. Dr. Smith purchased the drug store of Dr. Wilson. For 15 years he had a thriving business, and during that time he bought out every man who attempted to enter the drug business in Salem. Dr. Smith also owned controlling interest in the woolen mill of which his brother was President. In the mill business, W.K. was Secretary-Treasurer, and later a Director. In 1859, he married Mary A. Harrison, who died the next year. Dr. Smith relocated to Portland in 1869, where he married Debbie Harber.

Thomas Carter and his family reached Portland from Ohio in 1848. His daughter, Julia, opened a school in a log cabin on the corner of Second and Stark Streets. Julia married Joseph S. Smith in 1849, and they had two sons, Walter V. Smith and Preston C. Smith, and one daughter, Mrs. H.Y. Thompson.

Box 10 1.06 1870-1979 Smith-Ohmart House, 2655 E. Nob Hill SE Much of South Salem was part of the Donation Land Claim of Fabritus Reynolds Smith; he bought the squatter's right of a man named Hovenden. Smith's family home for 73 years still stands at 2655 E. Nob Hill SE. The house was built in approximately 1870. This was the third home that Fabritus Smith had built, the first being a log cabin that faced what is now 12th Street, and the second house was on an adjacent lot on Nob Hill that was lost to fire. The house is the oldest identified Italiante house in Salem, and was placed on the National Register in 1979. The National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form is present in the folder, and includes a number of photographs of the house and property. Charles (Chuck) and Karen Dunn were the owners of the property when the Nomination was submitted. The house is also included in the Sixth Annual Salem Tour of National Register & Historic Places, October 18,1981 (house #7 in the guide).

Family owners of the house and property included Fabritus Smith, his daughter Velleda Smith Ohmart, and his grandson Roy Virgil Ohmart. Since 1943, 4 other families have lived in the house (up to 1979).

Fabritus Smith arrived in Oregon from Rochester, New York in 1846, after earning passage on the Oregon Trail by driving an ox team and wagon for Jospeh Waldo. Fabritus married the daughter of Virgil Pringle and Phrene Tabitha Brown Pringle, whom he met when her family arrived at the Jason Lee House in Salem. His wife's name was Virgilia Pringle Smith. Virgilia taught in the first school in Salem, and her grandmother is credited with founding Pacific University at Forest Grove. Fabritus and Virgilia had 6 children: Virgil (died age 10), Elizabeth (died age 6), Velleda, Lois (died age 2), Hamlin, and Clara. Virgilia died in 1875, and two years later Smith married Sarah E. Craft Watt, widow of Joseph Watt.

Virgil Pringle was a shoemaker, and so was his youngest son, Octavius. Octavius married Emaline Craft, daughter of Uncle Charlie Craft (Charles Craft). Craft had given Fabritus a job driving oxen, hauling logs for his saw mill when he first arrived in Salem. Craft boarded Smith in a log cabin next to the Jason Lee house, and Smith was present at the Jason Lee house on Christmas Day, 1846, when the Pringle family arrived during a snow storm.

Fabritus Smith served in the legislature, on the school board, as Marion County coroner, and for many years as Vice-President of the Board of Trustees of Willamette University. Fabritus Smith died in 1898.

One of the first deeds given by Fabritus R. and Virgilia E. Smith was to Francis Norbert Blanchet for two and a half acres of land for the Catholic cemetery site.

The daughter of Fabritus and Virgilia, Velleda Wealthy Smith Ohmart, and her husband developed the area which was her parents' 635 acres, as well as additional property to the south, all between Commercial and 12th Streets, from McGilchrist south. When they were first married in 1877, they lived in a house on Mission Street, directly south from Quinaby's camp, and Velleda recalled Quniaby's death in 1878. The announcement of the celebration of the golden wedding anniversary of Velleda and Adam Ohmart was held in April 1927, and was described in the Oregon Statesman on April 6, 1927. Velleda and Adam Ohmart had 4 sons, Roy Virgil, Reynolds Waldo, Chauncey Smith and Chester, and one daughter, Lois Loman. From 1898 to 1908, Adam went into the Yukon Territory during the Klondike rush, spending most of 10 years in and near Dawson. Velleda and Adam celebrated their anniversary in the same house where they were married, the Smith-Ohmart house. Adam Ohmart died in November 1929, and a copy of his obituary is present. Chauncey died in 1935 and a copy of his obituary is present; his twin brother, Chester, died at the age of 2 months. Velleda lived until 1943, and a copy of her obituary is present. Velleda's only brother, Hamlin F. Smith died a few months before Velleda.

Roy V. Ohmart worked as a bookkeeper/cashier for the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill, retiring in 1929. While his father was in Alaska, he quit school to run the farm; in 1904 he bought a farm southwest of Salem, then ran a store on Liberty Street. In 1906, he married Gracia Lee. They named their daughter Velleda Wealthy Ohmart and their son Lee Virgil Ohmart. Upon

Page 127 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects retirement from Thomas Kay Woolen Mill, Roy started another career in the life insurance business wtih Paul Acton of Salem; he had sold insurance before as a sideline. Velleda Ohmart Lizburg (Roy's daughter) was visited by David Duniway in 1979. Mrs. Lizburg shared the family pictures and other items she had from her family with David.

Elizabeth Johnson Smith, mother of Fabritus, celebrated her 100th birthday at the Smith-Ohmart house in June 1886. The event and guests were described in detail in the Oregon Statesman article of June 9, 1886. Mrs. Elizabeth Smith died in March of 1889, at the age of 102. A copy of her obituary from the Oregon Statesman is present in the folder. She had moved to Oregon at the age of 84, after raising her family in Rochester, NY, and was present at the time that city was incorporated.

An article from March 1, 1934 by Fred Lockley interviews Velleda Ohmart. In the article, she describes her parents arrivals in Oregon, as well as her education at Oregon Institute, where she was taught by Professor Gatch. Her great grandmother, Tabitha Brown, was about 66 when she crossed the plains in 1846. Her husband's brother, John Brown, was 80 years old, and came with them. "My grandfather had asthma very badly in Missouri, and my grandmother was an invalid and had been bedfast for a long time with liver trouble. In crossing the plains and enduring all the hardships they had to, it was a case of being either killed or cured, and the trip cured both of them."

The Bits for Breakfast column by R.J. Hendricks, in the January 22 through 25, 1935, editions of the Oregon Statesman include interviews of Velleda Ohmart, who had just celebrated her 80th birthday. By this time, almost all of the Fabritus Smith Donation Land Claim was within the Salem City Limits.

A Statesman Journal feature from December 17, 1977, includes a photograph of Lori and Alex Dunn, children of the family currently occupying the Fabritus Smith house. The accompanying article describes the work that owners Chuck and Karen Dunn have been doing to refurbish the Fabritus Smith house and includes additional interior photographs.

In 1979, David Duniway visited with Jiles Ohmart, son of Chauncy Smith. Jiles was able to share some family photographs and a copy of the 50th Anniversary Wedding Book from Velleda and Adam Smith.

Box 10 1.11 1867-1978 Starkey Block (13 & 14) 223 & 233 Commercial Street NE

The Starkey Block has also been referred to as the Lamport Block or Starkey-McCully Block. The block included five stores. This folder contains the history of the block, including the National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for the front portion of building. The building represents the transition from wooden stores of the pioneers, susceptible to fire, to brick construction for the control of fire. By the introduction of second floor doorways, the building was enlarged for a peroid as the Lamport Block, including stores to the north of later construction. The building was made possible by cooperation of John L. Starkey, the builder, and his neighbors, William Anderson on the south, and David McCully, using common walls and stairways to the second floor. First floor brick walls were carried to the roof between these owners. The Nomination form includes copies of photographs of the features of the part of the building being nominated for the Historic Places Inventory. At the time the National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form was prepared and submitted, in 1978 by David Duniway, the building owners were: #223 by William L. Fletcher, Trustee, and others; #233 by Robert & Nancy Gormsen.

The David McCully block at 233 N. Commercial was built in 1865-1867 along with the adjoining J.I. Starkey block. In 1868, Starkey who had been McCully's partner in the general merchandise business, sold McCully the north store, reserving the use of the ground floor store space. In 1876, David McCully and his brother Asa went into the grocery business in this new building, operating the Centennial Store. Two years later, Asa sold out to David's son-in-law, Andrew N. Gilbert; and in 1894, David sold his interest to Sebastian C. Adams. As Gilbert and Adams, the firm was to become Gilbert and Patterson by 1886, and Gilbert and Baker by 1902. Additional history of the Starkey and McCully partnerships is available in the folder. For the first 50 years, the building was associated with grroceries and then food-oriented business; for the next 60 years it was associated with wall paper, paints and hardware, and interior decoration. Page 131 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects The Starkey Block, #223, was constructed in 1867-1868. As originally designed, the Starkey Block consisted of five stores, with furnished rooms for a hotel like operation on the second floor. Of the first occupants, two have been identified as Nicklin & Company, a general store selling groceries (perhaps L.S. Svott), dress goods and hardware, and Mrs. Snyder, Millinery.

E.S. Lamport's harness shop was established in the building as early as 1878 and continued until his death in 1912 (his double store area number changed from 289 to 219). Charles G. Given, boot and shoe maker, and Charles W. Hellenbrand, restaurant, had been in the building since 1889. In 1889 and 1891, Edward C. Small had a clothing store in what was then 293 Commercial; and in 1893 at 291 Commercial, Charles Calvert had a millinery and fancy goods store. By 1894, the rooms on the second floor were rented as apartments, and there were two groceries in the southern stores. In May, 1894, Gilbert, Paterson & Co. had a serious fire which damaged their neighbors; the Oregon Daily Statesman on May 25, 1894 reported: The large grocery store of Gilbert, Patterson & Co. in the "Starkey" block on Commercial Street near Court was visited by the fire fiend about 5:15 A.M. yesterday...the adjoining grocery store of John A. Van Eaton also suffered a considerable loss." At that time, the second story rooms were occupied by families of: Jas. Riggs, Jos. Aitken, Mel. Hamilton, Clifford Melton; Mrs. Frank Cooper, an invalid, occupying the front rooms was carried out. The inventory of Lamport's store and C.G. Givens' store were slightly damaged.

City Directories and newspaper advertisements were used to track building occupants.

#219/#225, which became #223: Later occupants of Lamport's store area were Watt Shipp Co., selling sporting goods in 1913 and 1915; Quackenbush Auto Supplys in 1921; F.W. Pettyjohn & Company, automobiles in 1924; Nash Furniture Company in 1928 through 1945; Coast to Coast Stores, a hardware store in 1947 and 1949; Valley Furniture Company in 1951 through 1956; vacant until the two stores (219 and 223) were combined as 223 in 1964, and since then through 1978 and possibly longer as the S&H or Sperry & Hutchinson Green Stamp Store.

#291/#293 which later became #225: 291 Commercial was occupied by Watt Shipp & Co. from 1905 through 1913. It was a restaurant or ice cream parlor from 1915 through 1939. In 1915 and 1917, it was run by John and Mary Loper. From 1921 through 1932, it was the Home Restaurant or Cafe, with R.J. O'Leary, Mrs. R.S. Clarke, Harry Houston and Mary Etzel as successive proprietors. In 1936-37, it was the Meadow Brook Dairy Lunch, and in 1938-39 it was the Cross Ice Cream Store. In 1942 and 1945, it was occupied by the Coast to Coast Store that sold hardware; and in 1947 through 1956 it was occupied by the Army and Navy Store. From 1957 through 1960 Van's Outdoor Store sold clothing; and in 1964 the building number was combined to become #223.

#295/#297 later became #233. This building was occupied from 1889 through 1893 by Charles W. Hellenbrand's Restaurant (#295); in 1893 by J.W. Thomas, general merchandise (#297); in 1891 through 1896, Ben Forstner & Co. sold dry goods and clothing (#297); in 1902, Stephen C. Stone, a physician and druggist occucpied the area (#297); in 1907 through 1913, Claude D. Bell (also referred to in these documents as Claude S. Belle), confectioner (#233) was present; in 1915 Peetz Furniture and Glenn L. Adams wall paper and prints were present; in 1917 through 1924, Fletcher and Byrd, dealers in paints, oils, seeds, feed and similar items were occupants; in 1926 through 1934, Jacob A. Rise Co. sold harnesses and shoes; in 1945 through 1955, Coast to Coast Stores sold hardware, and in 1964 through 1975, Norris Paint and Varnish Company occupied the space. In 1978, the space was occupied by Nancy Gorsmen, interior designer.

Occupants of the upper floors included: in 1891, Mrs. Frank Cooper had ladies' furnishings goods over Lamport's store; E.A. Hogan was a merchant tailor; N.D. Jones was a house and sign painter; and Charles W. Northcutt and Henry Brown were lathers. In 1893, Thomas J. Whittier offered furnished rooms, and in 1896 Mrs. S. Burkholder had the Salem Lodging House, open at all hours, rooms by the day, week or month and this continued until at least 1905, then through 1917 as the Salem Rooming House. In 1917, the space over the north store, as 229 Commercial was rented to Hill Printing Company, Bechtel and James, and J.B. Renwick, real estate. By 1921 this space had been changed or remodeled as a hall for the Foresters of America, Sherwood Forest No. 19. From 1928 through 1934, it was occupied by the United Sign Company, and in 1938 through 1942 it reverted to the Star Apartments. From 1945 through 1951, there were up to four renters, inlcuding Dr. George P. Hoffman (1949 and 1951), and in 1951 the owner, Arthur L. Rise, shoes.

John Starkey, builder of the Starkey Block, died in March 1872, at age 53.

David McCully also owned interest in the James Clinton, one of the earliest boats on the Willamette; and in 1862 he was one of the stockholders in the formation of the Peoples Transportation Company which obtained a monopoly of the River transportation; he served as President. In 1871, the Peoples Transportation Company was sold to Beh Holladay.

In 1915, when the entire building was rebuilt with presed brick and steel construction, it was referred to in the Oregon Statesman as the George Waters Block.

Box 10 1.13 1909-1984 Stores

The material in this folder tracks the lifespan of the grocery store built at 1199 South Commercial Street shortly before 1900, when the area was attempting to recover from its poverty-stricken condition that resulted when logging on Fairmount Hill was halted and the sawmill closed in the 1870's. The community had been given several names, including Sleepy Hollow, Starvation Gultch and Coon Hollow. The store was slated for demolition in 1967 by its owner, Dr. Clayton Cullen.

The primary news article, from the Oregon Statesman on January 21, 1967, describes the history of the community, as recalled by Lewis Judson, then 88 years old.

O.L. Townsend built the store in the early 1900's. The first operator was H.S. Poisal. Lewis Judson's younger brother, George Judson, opened a meat market in the building in 1901; the address for the meat market was 1191 Commercial Street SE. In 1909-10, George Shaw joined his brother-in-law, Henry Poisal, who was at one time an official at Salem's Reform School. In 1921, Simon and Pade were running the store. Arnold Kreuger and Ben Pade took over the store's operation in 1924 and remained together until about 1926. In 1926 through 1931, the store was named Kreuger Grocery. In 1940-41, the store was listed as Arnold A. Krueger Grocery, and was also known as Krueger Kash & Karry. In 1942, the store was listed as Miller Street Grocery, referring to the intersecting Miller Street, and this name remained to 1978.

The store was known for buying local produce from the farmers.

Proprietors/names of the meat market included: George A. Judson, Joseph B. Graetttinger, South Salem Market, Ralph W. Werner, Perlich's Market, and Acme Meat Market (Claude E. Borzich). Other names: Roy P Adsitt, Victor Miller, Clair Vibbert, Don Wiggins, Mabel (Mrs. Eldon) Scott, Baker School, Dr. Cullen, David Miller, Joshua Witten, Victor Miller, John Roork, Leslie Methodist Church.

The obituary for Henry S. Poisel from the Oregon Statesman, March 19, 1948 is present; he died at age 91. He had married Alice Shaw in 1887, and moved to Oregon from Iowa by 1900. After living in Rosedale, they moved to Salem, built a house on Commercial Street and lived there for 47 years. Poisel was the first president of the Salem Board of Trade, which later became the Chamber of Commerce. He had one daughter, Margaret Poisel Ohling.

Box 10 1.14 1895-1896 Street Cars The material in this folder traces the construction of the street car system in Salem in 1895. The reference for the articles is the Oregon Statesman on December 6 and 22, 1894, and throughout the months of January, March, April and May, 1895.

In December, 1894: Residents of the Highland Addition raised $1200 of the $1500 they need to raise to build the street railway, and the Salem Motorway Company provided the other $1500. This line will start at the intersection of Division Street and Broadway, then proceed to Highland Avenue to the Fairgrounds. It is anticipated that this railway will be operating by March 1895. Another branch will be built over Morningside Hill to a proposed public park. Morningside Hill will be leveled about 10 feet. By December 22, only $100 needed to be raised. to build the extension of the Salem Mortor Railway from North Liberty in North Salem tothe Polytechnic Institute in the Highland Addition.

Page 133 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects In January 1895, real estate purchases for the railway were completed.

In January 1895, the State Insurance Company became othe owner of the Salem Motor Railway. In March, 1895, It was anticipated then that construction might begin in Highland by the end of summer, but $1500 more was needed in subscriptions for the extension of a branch line to the Polytechnic School at Highland.

On April 9, 1895, grading of 12th Street through Yew Park ws under way. Superintendent Derby of the Motor Railway Company and his men were putting railway tracks up or down to suit the grade.

The Salem Motor Railway entered into a contract with Salem Improvement Co. on April 16, 1895. By this contract, work was to begin in the Morningside Addition, south of Salem. The preliminary survey started on April 16, and small structures were built at the base of Morningside Hill for storage of tools. A wagon road is to be built along the railway, and a new park may be established. It was determined that the small electric cars cannot reach the hilltop with any grade greater than 8%. Salem Improvement Co. came into possession of the horse barn and property of the Salem Street Railway Co. on North Commercial Street, and the plan is to convert this property into a new pork packing company.

Superintendent Archie Mason had 24 men and 10 teams to grade Morningside Hill. It was anticipated that the work would take about 8 weeks. In the interim, ties were being cut to be laid when the grading is finished. Some of the workers are staying at the Houser House on the top of the hill; and a large barn was bulit at the bottom of the hill for horses.

In May, the grading of Morningside Hill had been completed, but considerable dirt still needed to be removed. Mr. Binet has been inspecting the plant including the Electric Light Works. Mr. Lively has been negotiating purchase of the Electric Light Works, but this is not resolved to date.

Other names: E.F. Parkhurst, Archie Mason, Houser House, F.R. Anson, J.L. Hartman.

Box 10 1.16 1872-1978 Thompson House (Salem Heights), 3575 Liberty Road S. The Thompson house was built in 1905 by Frederick A. Thompson for his parents, Franklin A. and Maria C. Thompson.

Frederick Thompson came to Salem as a young man to see for himself the beautiful and fertile Willamette Vally that his uncle, James Gibson, had told him about. Frederick returned to Evansville, Minnesota and told his parents about the opportunities offered in Oregon. He married Ellen Swenson (Swentson), and in time, the couple and his parents moved to Salem Heights.

Frederick Thompson bought 20 acres on the east side of Liberty Road and 5 acres on the west side. This adjoined the 5 acres which Franklin Thompson had purchased and the site where the original house now stands. The property was mainly timber land and it was necessary to clear if for building. A barn was built on Franklin's property by Fred and was partitioned as a temporary home for the two families until he could complete construction of the house. When the first house was completed, a second was constructed on the adjoining 5 acres for the Fred Thompsons (since demolished). The property survey information is present in the folder for both parcels.

The property on which the house stands was originally part of the Joseph and Sarah Ann Smith Donation Land Claim, most of which was acquired between 1872 and 1904 by Ferdinand G. Ewald and developed as Ewalt Fruit Farms. Frederick Thompson had acquired neighboring property to the north for development as Salem Heights. He built his own home and the Salem Heights Store to the north of the school. He also helped organize the school district and was on the Board. With four boys (Elton H., Avery, Gordon, and Kermit) soon being of school age, Frederick Thompson was active in petitioning Marion County to divide the Liberty School district into two parts. The petition was approved and created the Salem Heights School District #128. In 1907, Frederick built a school on property purchased by the School District from Phil Thomas; this was located on the corner of Madrona Avenue and Liberty Road.

Franklin A. Thompson died November 13, 1923 at age 81; and his obituary is present in the folder. His wife Maria died in May 1926; and her obituary is present in the folder. Franklin was a veteran of the Civil War. Their last address was 1575 Commercial. Both are interred in City View Cemetery.

Frederick Thompson died in April 1954; he was a Spanish-American War veteran and member of the Modern Woodmen. Their last address was 1575 Commercial. His obituary is present in the folder.

Later owners of the Thompson House inlcude Jacob and Elva Fielder who operated the store, Ralph C. Horton, Edward and Myrtle Cotman and Charles Knytch. When Jack and Lillian Beck acquired the house in 1963, it had stood vacant for 3 years, held as a real estate speculation. Doors and windows were gone. A young couple asked to rent the house, furnishing the missing doors and windows from a house of the same age they had recently demolished. After 2 years, Jack Beck renovated the interior for his decorating business, the House of Design, which he operated from the house for 10 years. In 1978, the house was occupied by a day care group Cricket House. In April, 1979, the house was a branch office of McNary Real Estate, Inc.

Box 10 1.17 1870-1937 Water Supply, Salem

Salem Water Company was organized by David Allen and J.M. Martin, local grocers, who received a council franchise on December 30, 1870. W.F. Boothbay was chosen president. The company's 17-year franchise specified that water should be supplied to the city at a rate of $1800 per year and the charge to individual consumers should be no higher than elsewhere on the Pacific Coast for cities comparable in size to Salem. Also specified was a downtown reservior, located on the west side of Front Street between State and Court. The reservior leaked and when the wind blew, those who went to the river bank to dispose of garbage were drenched with spary. A suction line extended 75 feet into the Willamette, from which the reservior was filled or water entered a wooden pipe a mile in length that served as a central main. The wooden pipe leaked habitually.

In the Oregon Statesman Illustrated Annual in 1900 included an article entitled "Water Company" describes the organization of Salem Water Company on February 20, 1871. The same publication in 1903 included "The Water Supply of the Capital City" which further explained the crib used for filtering the water supply. In 1904, the same publication provided an article "Salem's Water Supply" that again explained the filtration process and new work being done to cement the sides of the reservior. The Oregon Statesman, on January 1, 1905, included photographs of the Salem Water Co. and Fairmount Park Reservior. Two articles in 1937 in the Oregon Statesman drew the readers' attention to the sources and conditions of Salem's water supply. Ben Maxwell published an article in the Capital Journal on January 27, 1954 entitled "Waterwork's Interesting Part in Salem History."

During the first few years after formation, the company absorbed minor local concerns and acquired the ownership of its present properties. In 1881, Santiam Water Company, owned by Whealdon and Edwards, and housed within the Pacific Agricultural Works, was acquired by Salem WaterCompany. Power generated by a Pelton turbine wheel in the millrace and three and a half miles of pipe serving the central and southern part of Salem went with the purchase.

Salem's combined water systems were an attractive investment for R.S. Wallace, capitalist and newly arrived investor. Power from the Pelton turbine wheel was transmitted to the pumping station, about 600 feet, by a network of ropes operating over pulleys. Additionally, a reservoir holding 2,000,000 gallons of water and 176 feet above the town, was constructed in South Salem and connected with a 10-inch main. Soon it became evident that water power alone was not adequate for efficient pumping and Wallace installed a steam plant at the pumping station in 1890 to supplement it. In 1893, J.M. Wallace, an elder brother and trustee of the R.S. Wallace estate, extended the intake across South Salem slough, across Minto's Island, and into the river beyond. In 1898-99, a crib was sunk in the Minto gravel bar, so that the planks and thes sides of it down to the river bed are encased, water tight, forcing all the water that enters the crib to go in below the bottom of the river. The result is that the only water entering the crib is filtered.

Two articles in 1937 in the Oregon Statesman drew the readers' attention to the sources and conditions of Salem's water supply. The first cost of the water system was approximately $1,055,000. Bond debt was $2,200,000. The city bought the water system in 1935, and the accounting for costs of the system since then are presented in the articles. On October 30, 1937, water from Stayton Island in the North Santiam River was turned into Salem's water mains, marking the successful end of a 9-year project. Algae in 1928 and a snowstorm in 1929-30 had brought about the chain of events that led to the city's purchase of the system. In 1937, it was anticipated that it would take another 5 years to bring the water up to desired standards.

The Rio vista reservoir is described in 1955: This reservior was not rectangularly shapped (sic). The east edge was slightly curved, and the north corners were cut. The reservior held 2,000,000 gallons, and was 176 feet above the town. There was a 10-inch main that ran down Lincoln and Superior to the east. There was another wooden water towre (sic) on th ehill top near the southwest corner of John and Superior. Page 136 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects In 1962, Russell E. Winchcomb, shop foreman for Salem Water Department, discovered a collection of old papers related to the affairs of the Salem Water Co. through the 1870's, 1880's and into the 1890's. Ben Maxwell wrote a Capital Journal article about this find in the February 6, 1962 paper.

Blueprints and maps of the reservoir and pipelines are present in the folder.

Box 10 1.18 1844-1980 Western Security Bank A record of search for information regarding Wester Security Bank, conducted by David Duniway, presents the history of all occupants in the southeast corner of State and Liberty Streets, from the founding of Salem in 1841 by Jason Lee, to the Guardian fire in 1947. The information was prepared at the request of Leonard A. Van Kleek, President of Western Security Bank, in anticipation of celebration of the bank's 25th anniversary in January 1981. A copy of the bank's anniversary brochure with all 8 Salem branches is included in the folder.

The first occupants of the southeast corner of State and Liberty Streets had been the Marion House which was also known as the Marion Hotel, opening in 1854. In 1861, the name of the building changed to the Mansion House. In 1864, the building burned to the ground. The second structure on the site was the Capital Hotel, opened in 1866. This building burned in 1869. In November of 1869, construction began on Mallory's Brick, which was the third structure on the site. Between 1871 and 1910, occupants of the building included professional offices, grocers, general stores, the (fire) Engine House, and a jail. In 1893, Thomas Holman purchased the building and began making improvements to attract new occupants.

The first information in the history of the block that refers to banks is in 1910-11 when the Holman building had experienced a boiler explosion in the basement and was going to have to rebuild the structure. The newly organized Salem Bank and Trust Company moved into rebuilt building in 1910. In May, 1914, the Salem Bank and Trust Company changed its name to Salem Bank of Commerce. The bank was started on Liberty Street but it soon became evident that its space and rooms were too limited and after about 18 months the directors negotiated for and took over what was then known as the Steeves Building at the corner of State and Liberty Streets.

In 1981, a Deepwood Fact Sheet was prepared. Features of the house are that it was built in 1893-94 and is considered to be one of the finest examples of "Queen Anne" style of the late Victorian era yet standing in the greater Salem area. The architect was William C. Knighton who also designed the Oregon Supreme Court Building, the State Hospital's Dome building, and North Salem High School. The house cost $15,000 to build. The name Deepwood came from a children's book, The Hollow Tree and Deepwood Stores, by Albert Bigelow Paine. Alice Bretherton Brown (third owner) chose New Year's Day, 1935, to have her house christened Deepwood with a bottle of champagne. In 1973, Deepwood was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1971 Deepwood House was acquired by the City of Salem, followed by the Lee Street portion (which has the greenhouse and nature trail) in 1973, and the 12th Street frontage in 1979.

Is it possible to train teachers to utilize the nature trail and the formal gardens?

Box 13 1.02 1846-1946 Chemeketa Lodge No. 1, Odd Fellows, Minutes & Records

On January 5, 1846, Gilbert Watson, while still in Massachusetts, sent a letter to a brother Odd Fellow, describing his pending journey to Oregon City, and asking him for permission/assistance to open a Lodge in Oregon. A letter of support signed by 10 individuals from the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts was sent to the Grand Sirs of the Grand Lodge of the United States.

On March 28, 1846, a letter was written by Albert Guild to B. Ridgeley in which he indicated that he was of the understanding that he (Ridgeley) had said that any arrangement that Guild made with Watson would be satisfactory. On April 4, 1846, Albert Guild wrote to Thomas Sherlock expressing his concern that perhaps he had led Watson to believe it was ok, when Guild had not seen written permission to authorize Watson to set up the lodge.

August 16, 1846, Thomas Sherlock, in a letter to the Massachusetts Lodge states that he sees no objections to the request and asks for the proposed location for the Oregon City lodge and a signed petition stating the location is correct, plus submission of the "usual fee."

January 2, 1852, the petition containing 12 names was sent to Ridgeley from the Oregon Territory, asking to establish a charter and lodge for Odd Fellows in Oregon. He explains that the group is aware that there was another lodge approved for Portland but that the materials had been lost when the group arrived in the Columbia River. "We have therefore made the accompanying application with the hope of securing a Pioneer Lodge of our Order in this new Territory." The name proposed for the lodge is Chemeketa Lodge, which is the name of the community in which they intend to locate it. The letter is signed by E.M. Barnum. Other signers of the petition are: Samuel E. May, E.N. Cooke, P.D. Palmer, A.W. Ferguson, B.F. Harding, J. Orvis Waterman, J. Rowan Hardin, , C.S. Woodworth, C.P. Cooke and Geo. B. Knowles. A copy of the actual petition is present.

April 30, 1852, E.M. Barnum wrote to Ridgeley responding, apparently, to a reminder/request for cards of the members, and stating that they had not yet arrived from the other states. On June 15, 1852, E.M. Barnum wrote to Ridgeley, sending him the cards of B.F. Harding, E.M. Cooke, C.S. Woodworth and himself.

E.M. Barnum had belonged to the Huron Lodge in Ohio, joining in April 1845. Joel Palmer previously belonged to the Spartan Lodge in Indiana, Benjamin Harding had belonged to Powhan Lodge in Illinois, E.N. Cooke had belonged to Crossan (?sp) Lodge in Ohio, Cyrus Woodsworth had belonged to the Mokena Lodge in Illinois. Copies of these certificates are present.

Fencing the cemetery ground began in 1856, and the gates were approved for installation in May 1857. Property ownerships, sale of lots, and rentals are discussed. The Fashion Stables on Odd Fellows property apparently had a fire, and there is discussion about removal of the rubble and sale of the property. In January 1900, discussion began in earnest about building a Temple. Notes in 1937 describe remodeling status; in 1938 there was a fire in the basement.

Copies of the Trustees Annual Report from December 31, 1935, 1936, 1937 and 1945 are present. Costs of new construction in 1937 are listed.

Box 13 1.03 1900-1936 Chemeketa Lodge No. 1 - Odd Fellows Builidngs, National Chemeketa Lodge No. 1, Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) instituted December 6, 1852, is the "Mother Lodge" of Register Work, Copies Odd Fellowship in the Pacific Northwest. Nationally and regionally the Lodge and its buildings illustrate the history of the Order, its service as an extended family to the newcomer, its social, economic and educational effect upon the community. Odd Fellowship was one of the first and most successful of over 200 fraternal orders founded in 19th Century America. Since 1900, Chemeketa Lodge's third floor hall and rooms have been home to the Lodges of the Order in Oregon's Capital. The lower floors have provided income for support of the work of the Lodge, and have influenced the development of Salem's growing business area, its theatrical history and its transportation system. Architecturally the Temple and Opera House of 1900 is a late example of a stone and brick building of Romanesque design, finished with a concrete surface.

The site on the southwest corner of Court and High Streeet was acquired in 1869 by Chemeketa Lodge No. 1, Odd Fellows. Lots 1 and 2, Block 21 of the 1850 plat of Salem, Oregon, are in the center of the U.S. Donation Land Claim of Dr. William H. and Chloe Willson. The claim was acquired by Dr. Willson as agent of the Oregon Institute in 1846, when the first plat was surveyed. He was obliged to share the proceeds of sales with that institution, which became Willamette University, the oldest institution of its kind on the Pacific Coast. The 1850 plat included a stretch of 5 blocks between Court and State Streets, east of High Street, to be used for public purpose. The County Court House was built there, across the street from the Odd Fellows' property. In 1869, the Lodge bought the two vacant lots to be used for an Odd Fellows Hall, and spasmodic attempts to raise the needed funds were punctuated by five year leases for their hall shared with the other Lodges of the Order. Since the lots were across from public buildings, the Lodge was able to lease them for the Fashion Stables, with a carriage barn, and a horse barn, to John Minto. His son, W.J. Minto, ran a successful business until most of the barns were destroyed by fire in 1898. This fire led to the decision of Chemketa Lodge to build a Temple with leaseable features such as a theater or Opera House, stores, and offices.

The major services of the Odd Fellows Lodges were the benefits paid to those who were sick, for funerals, and for the care of widows and orphans. Also, lodges contributed to the relief of suffers from major disasters, fires and floods. By 1901, when the new Temple was dedicated, it was reported that Odd Fellows spent $1,690,000 a year in benefits.

Being concerned with death, Chemeketa Lodge, in April 1854, began to negotiate with the Masons to procure a site for a joint cemetery. They chose 5 acres on the road south from Salem, now Commercial Street, which they purchased in July 1854 for $125 from the Rev. David Leslie. In May 1855, the Masons withdrew from participation. In 1860, an additonal 12 1/2 acres were added. Originally known as the Odd Fellows Rural Cemetery, the site is now known as Pioneer Cemetery, and many famous people in Oregon and even in National History are buried there.

On the street or first floor level, the buildings were designed for commercial use including a theater, The Grand. The three-story Temple or Opera House second floor consisted of offices overlooking the streets, and wrapped around the upper part of the theater. The third floor was devoted to lodge rooms. The 1900 annex at the rear was initially part of the theater with two small stores on the street. The 1921 Hotel and Bus Depot addition to the south provided hotel rooms on the second floor connected to the adjoining offices in the original Opera House which were changed to hotle rooms. The third floor is one room deep and expanded the space used for Lodge purposes. The store on the alley was originially frame, replaced by a concrete store in 1922 or 1923. Poorly constructed, the front 12 feet were removed and rebuilt in 1936.

Architects for the Temple or Opera House and the first annex, both of 1900, were Walter D. Pugh and John Gray, of Salem. The contractors were Erixon and Van Patten. The architect for the annex of 1921 was Morris W. Whitehouse of Portland. Later revisions to these two buildings were by Frank H. Strubble in 1935-1937 and 1951, and James L. Payne in 1952. The theater was redesigned by James DeYoung in 1935, and the store on the alley front 12 feet was rebuilt to Frank H. Strubble's design in 1936.

The application provides extensive details of the buildings' features and modifications, and extensive details of the history of the Odd Fellows in Salem.

Page 166 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects Box 13 1.06 1934-1935 Marion County Housing Committee Demonstration House, On June 28, 1934, President Roosevelt signed into law the housing bill intended to aid in reviving industry by increasing 1934-1935, Notes home construction and repair, thus creating markets for building material and employment for building trades. The legislation was calculated to make available several hundred million dollars for new homes and modernization. The government proposed to attract capital into the mortgage market by insuring private home mortgages, setting standards for a new type of long term, amortized, cheap interest home mortgage, providing mortgage money in high-interest-rate regions through national mortgage associations and insuring the savings of building and loan associations. Articles in the Capital Journal describe the bill and subsequent activities.

On August 8, 1934, the Housing Administration started its home renovation drive. A list of references to articles in the Capital Journal from August 2, 1934 through June 10, 1935 is present; the references are approximately the article titles or first lines.

In August, 1934, Salem Paint & Roofing Company held a "Better Homes Contest" with prizes of $25, $15 and $10 for the best modernizing, repairing or remodeling projects. The prizes were to be awarded November 15, 1934. The contest description enourages people to take advantage of the new funds available through the Federal Housing Act.

On November 12, 1934, Marion County Housing Authority began canvassing the community to ascertain the actual rebuilding and repair needs of residential and business buildings. One vision of the benefit of the Better Housing movement is seen as materially reducing the heavy annual toll in lives lost and injuries inflicted by common hazards in homes and business places. The November 10, 1934 Capital Journal article states that "Of the more than 100,000 fatalities and the 500,000 serious injuries recorded annually, from one-quarter to one-third result from accidents in or about the home, statistics of the bureau of standards, department of commerce, indicate." Causes of these fatalities and injuries include gas leaks, fires from defective flues, heating appraratus, bad roofing and accumulated rubbish, loose or poorly constructed bannisters and broken stair steps, worn linoleum, faulty ranges or gas plates, explosion of combustibles and improperly fused electrical circuits. An additional article suggests types of projects that are under way, such as enclosing porches, and creating a folding breakfast nook.

On October 20, 1934, and again on November 13, 1934, Capital Journal articles describe the modernization plan for the old house that had been moved to the lawn of the County Court House in Salem. Diagrams, floor plans and a photograph are included. Plans were to convert the old house to a 5-room bungalow. The house, one of the first 20 houses constructed in Salem, was built in 1849 for William Beckett, of lumber milled by equipment brought to Salem on the Lausanne in 1840. The house was moved from 415 Union Street to the court house lawn. Mrs. Malinda J. Wade, one of the early occupants of the house is included in the photograph of the house before construction began; Mrs. Wade's son Murray Wade and her grandson Murray Wade, Jr. are also in the photograph. On November 26, 1934, the permit was received to remodel the house. William Pettit, a Salem contractor, was in charge of the work. This project had a $3000 budget, and by December 4, 1934, the project was reported as well under way. On December 7, an article about the progress in remodeling the house states that the Housing Committee does not expect the average citizen to undertake this large a project, but rather this is a demonstration of the many possible remodeling jobs that can be done. By mid-January 1935, the plumbing and electrical wiring were expected to be done, and window and door frames were to be in place. On Saturdays and Sundays, the public could visit to see construction progress. On May 1, 1935, the Capital Journal article says that the renovated house will be open daily until sold. The house will have to be moved at an expected cost of $125 to $200. The May 2 article describes the interior of the house in some detail, and announced that the house will be sold be sealed bid. The May 5 article announces that the deadline for sealed bids had been extended from May 11 to May 14, and bids were to be opened at noon on May 14. The May 11 article says that 1500 people went through the house last Saturday, and a total of 10,000 visits were expected by this weekend (May 11, 1935 was a Saturday). The May 14 article reminds readers that the sealed bids are due by noon. The May 15 article announces that Leroy Grote paid $1295 for the house. The May 16 article describes the lot at 248 East Wilson Street where Grote plans to have the house moved. It was estimated that more than 11,000 people had viewed the house, and it was to continue to be open to the public. The May 18 issue provides an extensive article with interior and exterior photographs. A letter to Robert K. Powell from "Bing" in 1987 indicates that Nancy Gormson has her present office in the house, and that David Duniway is researching the property and is looking for information resources. Refer to folder 1.07 in Box 13 for additional information.

On December 8, 1934, the total value of loans made by Salem banks in connection with the Marion County Housing Committee's drive was $18,318 for 65 loans. By this time, 2754 people in Salem had been canvassed regarding the housing loans, and 832 had indicated they intended to make improvements at an estimated total cost of $126,750.

In December 1934, Rufus C.Holman, suggested that the Mulkey Building in Portland also be considered for remodeling,

Box 13 1.07 1934-1935 Marion County Housing Committee, News Story

In 1935 and 1935, the Capital Journal followed the step-by-step "renovization" of a house that had been built in 1849 and was standing on the grounds of the County Court House. The term renovization had come from the CWA public works program publicity.

The redesign by architect Clarence Smith, eliminated the porches, redesigned the windows, added a bay window on the front, and a single entrance in the Cape Cod style. The interior was cut up to provide modern facilities. There were at least 30 demonstration houses, such as this, across the country, all part of an extensive national publicity program to stimulate the creation of better homes, reflecting modern tastes and needs.

This folder contains copies of the Capital Journal articles from June 28, 1934 when the Housing Bill was signed into law by President Roosevelt, through May 19, 1935, when the demonstration project had been completed, and the demonstration home purchased via a sealed bid process. Refer to box 13, folder 1.06 for details of the Housing Bill purpose and the demonstration project.

Sheldon F. Sackett was appointed chairman of Marion County Housing Committee in September 1934. The Salem Executive Committee members were J.N. Chambers, Brigadier General Tom Rilea, and Keith Powell. The County Executive Committee included Ray Glatt of Woodburn, George Bell of Stayton, and L.C. Eastman of Silverton. On September 21, 1934, Chairman Sackett reported that the local committee would be prepared within a few days to acquaint property owners with the details of the National Housing Act. At that point, they had begun discussion about the possiblity of modernizing a "run down house" as a cooperative project with all building and trades groups. Groups of workers were organized to support the Committee, with assignments in finance, education, loans, labor, general industry, women's consultation, building industry planning and speakers.

On September 28, 1934, Cuyler Van Patten, chairman of the planning committee of the Marion County housing committee began the search for a house to renovate. The search continues to early October, and the announcement is made on October 9 that the house located at 415 Union Street will be moved onto the courthouse grounds for the demonstration project. On October 13, 1934, a photograph of the old house is featured in the news article in the Capital Journal. On the same date, Salem Mayor Douglas McKay made a proclamation to launch the Better Housing Program in Salem, Oregon, to stimulate repairs, alterations and improvements to homes and business properties. William H. Pettit is the job forman. Mrs. David Wright is the chairman of the women's committee aof the general committee, and she and her associates were to make arrangements for the coooperative furnishing of the house.

On October 24, 1934, a side article in the Capital Jounral announces that "Lumber manufacturers see in the Federal Housing Administration modernization campaign the greatest business opportunity since the World War and have launched an intensive drive to secure their full share of the trade." Organizations referenced include: C.C. Sheppard, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, The Capitol City Lumber Co. of Hartford, Connecticut, and the Michigan Retail Lumber Dealers' Association. Other articles reference the anticipated building boom, including one on October 29, 1934, in which the following are referenced: Sheldon Sackett, Rotary Club, Irl McSherry. Salem was expected to spend from $500,000 to $1,000,000 in 1935 in the building boom.

Articles in the Capital Journal, reporting on the project progress appear nearly daily, and copies are present in the folder. An article on October 27, 1934, reports that Governor Chadwick had previously owned the home that was selected to be moved to the court house lawn for renovation. The same issue announces that "Bankers Glad to Make Loans Backed by FHA." On November 2, 1934, a 5% interest rate for building was announced by President Roosevelt.

In November 1934, training began for those who were to canvass the city to raise funds to meet necessary expenses for the housing campaign. Names: Cuyler Van Patten, C.E.Wilson, Mrs. David Wright, Mrs. Ira Darby. 20 persons were selected to be members of the campaign: William P. Elllis, B.E. Sission, Lotta Smith, J.N. Chambers, Thomas Rilea, W.M. Hamilton, Shannon Hogue, Irl McSherry, Ralph Cooley, Rovena Eyre, Arthur Bates, Clifton Irwin, L.D. Farnsworth, Arthur Smither, Dr. Henry Morris, Leif Bergsvik, Leo Page, Carl Porter, T.A. Windeshaf, Mrs. George E. Waters. Page 168 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects On November 24, 1934, the Frizzell and Rilea houses are featured in the Capital Journal for their renovations. Homeowners are R.J. Frizzell at 1528 Court Street, who was modernizing the outside of the house; and Brigadier General Thomas E. Rilea at 1980 High Street., who converted an attic into a bathroom and bedroom, and contractor H.C. Hummell is mentioned.

On December 8, 1934, the Capital Journal summarizes the housing activities to date, including: $18,318 for 65 housing loans, 2576 pieces of literature distributed, 3792 persons passing through the old building on the court house lawn, 3700 inches in advertising and publicity published in Salem papers, 500 inches of pictures, 63 radio talks, and 42 presentations before service clubs and groups; and 159 building permits issued for a value of $83,393. From the housing needs survey, 266 workers had contacted 4774 residents and interviewed 2754 owners; of those contacted 832 intended to make improvements in the estimated amount of $126,750.

Sealed bids were accepted for the purchase of the court house lawn renovated house until noon on May, 14, 1935. Contractors estimated that the finished cost of the house was between $2700 and $2900. The winner was Leroy Grote, with a bid of $1295; he will move the building to 248 East Wilson Street, just off South Commercial Street. Interior and exterior photographs of the renovations are featured in the May 18, 1935 Capital Journal article. Contractors recognized included: Salem Painter's Union No. 724, F.G. Burrell, J.N.

A copy of part of the Congressional Record from the Senate from June 1, 1936 is present in the folder. The text includes the achievements of the Modernization Credit Insurance Plan. It reports that more than 6000 banks, building and loan associations, finance companies and other institutions participated actively in making loans under the plan. More than 8000 local better-housing committees and other voluntary agencies were stirred into action, and these generated total modernization work estimated at $1,500,000,000.

Box 13 1.08 1934-1987 Marion County Housing Committee Nomination, Beckett Modernization of the William Beckett House, built in Salem in approximately 1860, was undertaken as a demonstration House, 140 Wilson Street S project in 1934 by Marion County Housing Committee as part of the newly created Federal Housing Administration (FHA) program. The house was moved to the Marion County Courthouse lawn for modernization and demonstration. Any traces of its past vanished. When the renovation project was completed, the house was sold on bid and then moved to a new site. The project was funded by contributions and the services of volunteers. The exterior was changed to a 1934 Cape Cod cottage, and the interior was cut up to provide halls, kitchen, bath and closets. The survival of this "modernized" house, virtually intact, although adapted to commercial use, makes it notable in the revival of the economy in 1934-35 after the worst years of the depression.

As of November 1934, approximately 30 cities across the U.S. were reported to have similar demonstration projects in progrress, as one phase of a ntional publicity campaign under the Federal Housing Act of June 28, 1934. Credit by banks and other lending instutions was liberalized to unfreeze money hoarded by individuals and those insitutions.

In 1987, David Duniway prepared a National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for the Beckett House, which is present in this folder. The nomination describes in detail the revisions made to the house in the process of modernization for the demonstration project. The nomination was presented to the Historic Landmarks Commission on December 16, 1987 by David Duniway, and the nomination was unanimously passed at this meeting. On January 5, 1988, the nomination was presented to the State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation, and on February 18, 1988, the Historic Preservation Office approved the nomination. The period of significance for the house was identified as June 28, 1934 through May 19, 1935.

The William Beckett House originally stood on the northeast corner of Union and Liberty Streets, occupying a whole lot. In 1935 it was identified on the testimony of old timers as being built in 1849, but Beckett does not appear in Oregon Territorial records until 1853 in Polk County. Beckett purchased the lot in Salem in 1859 from Mrs. Chloe A. Willson, proprietress of the plat of Salem. No house is mentioned in the quit claim deed or the tax rolls. The 1860 construction date is derived from the house's style with long double-sash windows, the shadow of a second floor porch door on the front gable, and the fact that a

Page 169 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects house appears in the deed from William and Jane Thompson Beckett to Michael Myers, March 8, 1862. The house was occupied by owner residents, a blacksmith, a millwright, and others, and in 1885 was acquired by former Governor Stephen F. Chadwick as a rental property. By 1934, the house had been reduced in size to four rooms and turned half around and placed on the back of its property at 415 Union Street. When acquired by the County Housing Committee the owner said that the original house was nine rooms. Information from the Sanbourn Insurance map indicates that the rear portion of the house was single story rather than a story and a half. After the demonstration project was completed, the house was purchased by sealed bid by Larry Grote, and moved to 140 Wilson Street South. (Note that the news articles in Box 13, Folder 1.07 indicate that the house is to be moved to 248 Wilson Street.; the discrepancies might be the back side of his lot on which Grote's home was located and the front of the lot where the moved house was situated.) At that time, the house was placed on a full concrete basement, and a small back porch was added; subsequently, a subsequent resident owner finished two second floor bedrooms, and the next owner re-did bathroom walls and plumbing.

Additional information about the Federal Housing Act, the Federal Housing Administration program, and the Marion County Housing Committee demonstration project itself is included in Folders 1.07 and 1.08 of Box 13.

Box 14 1.01 1979-1981 Capital Mall

In the late 1970's and early 1980's, the State was facing significant parking deficiencies in its Capital Mall area that actually was costing the State almost one million dollars in temporary waivers. To remedy this, the State proposed several approaches including expanded Mass Transit and expansion of visitor parking spaces.

An Oregon Statesman article dated September 26, 1979 describes the first activities toward expansion, when the State wanted to remove the houses at 710 and 765 Summer Street NE, both of which had been damaged by fire caused by careless smoking and arson. The house at 710 Summer Street NE was a clapboard frame bungalow with a jerkin-headed gable roof and overhanging eaves, dating from between 1915 and 1920. The house at 765 Summer Street NE was an Art Noveau cottage built in the 1920's; by June 1980, the State was requesting bids for someone to relocate and rebuild the house.

The parking expansion plan presented in November 1980 included removal of 26 houses, of which 8 were identified as historic structures. The Capital Mall inventory of houses is listed, and each property described in much more detail than presented below. 750 Summer Street NE, built in 1927, Spanish Provincial style 760 Summer Street NE, built in 1927, shingled two-story English Provincial style 780 Summer Street NE, built in 1924, one-story bunglaow architecture 790 Summer Street NE, built in 1922, single family residential that has been remodeled 910 Parrish Street NE, one-and-a-half story frame bungalow 820 Summer Street NE, built in 1923, two-story English Provincial 840 Summer Street NE, built in 1920, bungalow architecture 888 Summer Street NE, built in 1923, Colonial Revival structure in wood motif 942 D Street, built in the 1930's, small single family cottage of stone and wood construction; indicative of the small single family residences between Parrish and D Streets 895 Capitol Street NE, built in 1929, one-and-one-half story bungalow with front-projecting dormer, appears to have been modified 885 Capitol Street NE, built in 1926, one story stucco structure, Californian style and rare for Salem 875 Capitol Street NE, built in 1928, one-and-one-half story bungalow with front-projecting dormer 805 Capitol Street NE, built in 1945, appears to have been at one time two stores, one facing Capitol and one facing Parrish; one store sold ice cream 980 Parrish Street, built in 1934, one story frame bungalow with weather boarding The Parrish Street , a little courtyard off Parrish Street between Summer and D Streets, where the buildings were non-descript but noteworthy as a group 787 Capitol Street NE, built in 1923, Dutch Colonial cottage style 960 Parrish Street NE, built in 1926, single story frame bungalow with a massively supported front porch tapering to a steeply pitched roof 940 Parrish Street NE, built in 1920, similar in size and scale to 960 Parrish 910 Parrish Street NE, frame dormered one-and-a-half story bungalow which might be considered more of a cottage than a true bungalow 795 Capitol Street NE, built in 1936, non-descript bungalow 785 Capitol Street NE, built in 1923, originally a single family residence that had been divided into duplexes, one-and-one-half stories, frame, with front-projecting gable porch Page 170 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects 755 Capitol Street NE, built in 1909, modified two-and-one-half story Eastlake style 745 Capitol Street NE, unique and distinct, two stories tall with large vertical windows, steeply pitched gable roofs with supporting brackets, reminiscent of Italiante architecture 735 Capitol Street NE, built in 1910, two-and-one-half story structure with strong Colonial Revival overtones, hipped roof The unique laurel tree at 942-954 D Street is noted. 725 Capitol Street NE, built in 1933, English Tudor Revival with rounded doorway and steeply pitched roof 705 Capitol Street NE, one-and-one-half story frame bungalow with weather boarding 702-706 Capitol Street NE, two-story stucco bungalow belonging to the State of Oregon; originally a single family residence, then being used by the Department of Agriculture 720 Capitol Street NE, English Revivial structure 730 Capitol Street NE, distinctive English Revival structure, then in use by the State of Oregon Capital Planning Commission although orignially a single family residence 720 Summer Street NE, two story English Revival structure

Valuations ranged from $9000 to $76,000 based on condition and size.

Communications between the Historic Landmarks Commission, Mayor and City Council, and Capitol Planning Commission are present. On March 11, 1981, the State Capitol Planning Commission Executive Director, Jody Houghton, wrote to the Historic Landmarks Commission Chairperson, Marian Milligan, "On March 4, 1981, the Capitol Planning Commission approved the Department of General Services' recommendation to site the Department of Veterans' Affairs Building off Summer Street N.E., in the North Mall. Due to this action 8 houses will be subject to the Capitol Planning Commission's administrative rules regarding removal of North Mall houses....I am therefore requesting participation by the Historic Landmarks Commission in providing the needed data. According to the building's project schedule, construction is anticipated in early August.. Due to the current development and potential requests, I am requesting that the Landmarks Commission address the entire North Mall Area at this time...."

In February, 1970, the students of Crooked Finger School in Scotts Mill, Oregon, sent a letter to John W. Anunsen, State Representative, inquiring how they might preserve their school as a historical monument. The letter was forwarded to George Strozut and finally to David Duniway for assistance/response. In May, 1970, David Duniway responded with steps that needed to be taken: obtain title, identify a use for the structure, and register the building with the State, and ultimately the National Register of Historic Places. There is no indication in the folder of what might have happened to Crooked Finger School.

An article from the Jefferson Review, April 2, 1971 reports that the Deputy State Fire Marshal, Leonard E. Stender, has inspected the Jefferson City Hall and made 7 recommendations for repairs.

Box 15 1.08 1981-1989 Marion County Historical Society, Statesman Index In November 1981, David Duniway sumitted a proposal to the Marion County Historical Society and the Oregon Historical Society to index the Oregon Statesman for the 1850's and 1860's. A similar project had started in the 1930's as a WPA effort, and David proposed to enlist librarians and others to revive the project and publish in sheet form an index so that it would be available in libraries that have acquired the Oregon Statesman on microfilm. The response from the Oregon Historical Society, in December 1981, was that they were willing to enter into the project on a 6-month trial basis. The work on the materials owned by Oregon Historical Society was to be done in the State Library, with 15-20 boxes shipped to the State Library at a time. A Statesman Journal article of April 14, 1982, "Sharp Eyes and Keen Minds Sought to Correct History" describes the project and calls for volunteers. The project did not get under way until February of 1982 because David Duniway, Project Leader, was hospitalized. In the July 19, 1982 report to the Oregon Historical Society, more than 319 hours had been spent by volunteers. At that time, they were still working in the A's. Volunteers as of July 1982 were: David Duniway, Margaret Fisher, Wiljo Green, Shirley Huff, Dorothy "Dottie" Jensen, Alice Lamerson, Virgil McDougal, Ruth Sather, Helen Patterson, and Sybil Westenhouse. On March 31, 1983, Thomas Vaughan of the Oregon Historical Society responded that they were very impressed with the A's and "somehow we must press on with the other 25. We'll do it somehow!" Volunteers working on this project were included in the annual report each year by the Oregon Historical Society. Copies of the meeting programs for the 1982, 1984, 1986 and 1988 meetings are included in the folder. On September 5, 1984, David Duniway reported that the C's were completed and D's started. The volunteer hours accumulated to date in 1984 were more than 308. On July 15, 1985, David Duniway reported that th E's were completed. On January 6, 1986, David Duniway reported that they were working on H's and that total worked hours since the project began had passed 1884. On November 3, 1987, David Duniway reported that they had worked over 424 volunteer hours in 1987 and were typing and editing in the letter L. On September 28, 1988, Mrs. Leonard R. Shaver, of the Oregon Historical Society, sent a note of appreciation for the work done for letters M through R. On October 6, 1988, David Duniway reported that the total project hours since 1982 had reached over 2761.

Box 16 1.01 1884-1981 Gilbert, Albert Carlton & Family

An excerpt from "The Gilbert Family, Decendents of Thomas Gilbert, 1582 (?)-1659," which was compiled in 1953, traces 10 generations of the Gilberts. Isaac Newton (I.N.) Gilbert, father of Frank Newton Gilbert and Andrew T. Gilbert, was Salem's first surveyor; and he and his wife, Marietta, are buried in Salem's Pioneer Cemetery. Frank Newton Gilbert was the father of Harold S., Alfred Carlton and Frank Welllington Gilbert. At the time of his death, June 1, 1916, he was a prominent piano dealer in Portland, Oregon.

Alfred Carlton Gilbert was born in Salem, Oregon, on February 15, 1884. His family moved to Moscow, Idaho in 1892, where he lived until he left for prepatory school in 1899. In the barn behind the Gilbert home, Alfred created a gym complete with a

Page 188 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects horizontal bar, an old mattress for a tumbling mat, weights, a wrestling ring and a punching bag. He became so skillful with the punching bag that a traveling minstrel show offered him $15 a week to join them. Without asking his parents, at age 12, Alfred spent a short-lived career billed as "The Champion Boy Bag-Puncher of the World." This career was over the next week when Alfred's father caught up with him; however, his father did encourage his interest in sports, and eventually he became the world's record holder and Olympic medalist in the pole vault.

Alfred C. Gilbert was a distinguished athlete at Pacific University in Forest Grove; and in 1904 he went to Yale to attend medical school because he thought the training would help him as an athletic coach and physical education director. While at Yale, he set world's records at the pole vault in 1906, 1908 and 1909. In 1912 he won the Olympic gold medal for the pole vault. Gilbert performed magic tricks to pay his way through medical school, and he loved magic so much that he never practiced medicine. He founded the Mysto Manufacturing Company in 1909 and began selling magic supplies. In 1909, Gilbert married Mary Thompson; adn they are the parents of one son and two daughters.

In 1912, while returning from New York to his home in New Haven by train, Gilbert became interested in the girders tht the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad was installing as part of its electification program, and it was that which inspired him to create the Erector Set that brought fame to the A.C.Gilbert Toy Company. One disappointment for Gilbert came when he developed an atomic energy set in the 1950's, complete with Geiger counter, uranium-bearing ore and other nuclear equipment. People feared children would make bombs and the set was dropped after many protests.

He died in 1961 at the age of 76.

A paper written about Bill Charnholm's interest in Gilbert Toys provides additional insights into the life of A.C. Gilbert and his family.

Gilbert's accomplishments, prepared by David Duniway, is included.

Box 16 1.02 1887-1987 Gilbert House In April 1987, the Salem City Council approved the re-use of the Gilbert House as a children's museum. The material in this folder includes research for the National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination for the Andrew T. Gilbert House. The Statement of Significance was prepared by David Duniway. A copy of the April 30, 1980 memorandum from Mark Siegel to the Historic Landmarks Commission describes the Commission's need to make a recommendation to City Council

Page 189 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects regarding the house's nomination. A copy of the agreement between the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Salem and the Gilbert House Children's Museum, Inc., from June 1988, describing the re-use project, is provided in the folder.

A South Salem News article, dated April 28 through May 4, 1987, and entitled "Historic Gilbert House One Step Closer to Becoming Hands-on Childrens' Museum" explains that all groups with interest in the property have agreed to table other considerations to allow Martin A. Morris, Ph.D. time to coordinate development activities, prepare a master plan, and solicit sources for funting of the childrens' museum. A memo from Jim Walker, Renewal Supervisor, to the Downntown Development Board, dated April 9, 1987, offers background and recommendations that support the childrens' museum; Dr. Morris' detailed proposal is attached to this document.

On March 8, 1989, Dr. Morris announced in a letter to the Salem Cultural and Tourism Promotion Commission that the Fred Meyer Charitable Trust had awarded a two-year grant of $200,000 for administration, operations and recruiting donations for restoration.

Isaac Newton (I.N.) Gilbert, father of Andrew T. and Frank Gilbert, was the first clerk of Marion County, clerk of the U.S. District Court, County Surveyor, and one of four founders of the Congregational Church in Salem. Andrew T. Gilbert was senior partner with his brother Frank in the banking house of Gilbert Brothers, Salem, 1879-1901. Starting as bankers and brokers doing general agency business, they became a general banking establishment in 1885. They served as agents for a number of English insurance companies, and the Columbia Insurance Company of Portland, as well as agents for the steam boats of the Oregon Pacitic Railroad Company on the Willamette. A branch was established in Moskow, Idaho, which explains how Frank (A.C. Gilbert's father) and his family ended up in Moskow.

The Andrew T. Gilbert house was built in 1887, situated on the banks of the Willamette River, it is the only waterfront residence in downtown Salem built prior to 1900. The architect and builder of the house was C.A. Robert, whose early commisisons were designed and erected in Granby, Quebec. Robert came to Salem the year this house was designed and built, and he obtained a contract to design and build the office, bakery, laundry and bath house at Chemawa Indian School.

Alfred Carlton Gilbert, nephew of Andrew T. Gilbert, was the founder of A.C. Gilbert Co., which was world reknown for the Erector Set and other toys. Additional, extensive, Gilbert family information is available in Box 16, Folder 01.

Additional research notes in the folder reference news, journal articles and other publications containing references to /or about Andrew T. Gilbert, the Gilbert family, associated real estate transfers, biographical and social activities.

In March, 1990, the City of Salem gave preliminary approval to the development of Heritage Village, under the two Willamette River bridges. This was already the location of the A.T. Gilbert House Childdren's Museum. The plan included a park-like complex with a railroad museum, a trolley, brick walkways, landscaping and historic old Salem homes that would be transplanted from the mall to make room for the State Archives Building.

The houses moved to the Heritage Village were the 1861 Wilson-Durbin House (from near State and High Streets), the 1883 Rockenfield-Bean House (from 755 Capitol Street NE, originally on Court Street), and the 1852 Parrish House (from 745 Capitol Street NE). David Duniway prepared a brief text "Histories Relative to Heritage Village" in 1990. Rough drafts of the material are also present. A Statesman Journal article from May 22, 1990, describes the pending move for the the houses being moved from Capitol Street to make way for the State Archives Building. The Heritage Village House Moving Invitation to Bid document is present, providing all the general and specific requirements for the project; bids were due by May 16, 1990.

A proposal for the Heritage Village, prepared by Ed Austin, Interpretive Exhibits, Inc., offers recreation of a Victorian era railroad station in conjunction with the Heritage Village complex. The proposed station strongly resembles photographs of the Oregon & California/Southern Pacific Salem station as it looked in 1900. The Heritage Station would be located east of the Heritage Village, across the railroad tracks.

On September 22, 1990, the Salem Park and Recreation Advisory Board held a ribbon-cutting celebration to open Heritage Village.

Box 16 1.04 1990 Heritage Village House Moving: Parrish & Rockenfield In February 1990, the Mayor and City Council reviewed the proposal and Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Salem and the State of Oregon regarding moving the historic structures located at 745 and 755 Capitol Street NE by June 30, 1990. The structures were on State-owned property where the State Archives Building was to be constructed. The recommendation made by the Regional Parks and Recreation Agency was that both structures be moved to the site of the riverfront Heritage Village.

A map of the Heritage Village, Preliminary House Location Studies, dated February 1990 is present, and it includes the Train Station described in Box 16, Folder 1.03.

In March 1990, David Duniway and David W. Powers visited the Parrish House to assess whether the ell at the rear of the house was original, and determined that the ell was built after the front part of the house rather than before it.

A copy of the City of Salem, Oregon Department of General Services Purchasing Division, "Heritage Village: House Moving and Weatherproofing" Invitation to Bid, dated April 11, 1990 is present. The April date is when the bids were due. The Invitation includes all requirements and standards to be followed. An undated and unidentified news article states "Salem Groans at House Bill, Bid for Moving Historic Homes Comes in High" reports that the bids for moving the 2 houses came in $228,000 higher than expected. The moves were anticipated to cost about $50,000, but then the re-wiring, re-roofing, waterproofing and other repairs were added to the invitation to bid.

A listing of the properties in blocks 82, 83, 85 and 86, the years of original buildings, appraised value of the land and of improvements is present in the folder. This material is related to documents found in Box 14, Folder 1.01 about the Capitol Mall expansion.

Box 16 1.05a 1806-1994 Parrish, Jennie L., Estate File, State Archives

Jennie Lichtenthaler was the second wife of Josiah Parrish, married in the Spring of 1870. Jennie and Josiah had two daughters: Grace A. (Goldie) born in 1872, and Luanlilo (Josephine) born in 1873. Jennie was not satisfied with domesticity and attended the Willamette College of Medicine, where she earned a medical degree in 1879. Jennie Parrish is identified as the second woman doctor in Oregon and the first educated in Oregon. Jennie died in August 1887 of cancer. In 1888, Josiah married Mattie A. Pierce.

Before her death, Jennie's wish was to have the girls placed in Annie Wright Seminary (now Mills College, Oakland, Califorina), and Josiah carried out her wish. Later the girls went on to New York for further education in music. Grace married Dr. E.A. Pierce, and later Edward Stevens. Luanlilo married Dr. Frank Slater and later Fred S. Stewart. Ruth Sather prepared a report that followed Josiah Parrish's life, and includes information regarding Jennie and their daughters.

In the year of their marriage, Josiah Parrish deeded to his wife, Jennie, almost 33 acres, west of Capital Street, extending to Market Street. Jennie, in turn, deeded the property to her brother David W. Lichtenthaler, and he deeded the property back to Jennie. In Jennie's will, she had conveyed trust for her property to her brothers George W. and David W. Lichtenthaler, for the purposes of using the rents and profits to support the education of her daughters who at the time of Jennie's death were 13 and 15. Jennie also gave her brothers the power to mortgage, sell or dispose of the property as they thought fit and to invest the proceeds to support the education of her daughters. Copies of some items paid for by Jennie's estate are present; examples are dental work for Grace and Josie, tuition, room and board for the girls at Annie Wright Seminary, and allowances.

The probate documents for Josiah L. Parrish's estate are present. At the time of Josiah's death in May 1895, there were insufficient funds to cover the debts, and the property was to be sold to cover the debts. In June 1895, Mattie Parrish submitted an amended will dated in 1889, which was determined to be void because at the date of the document, J.L. Parrish was suffering from a stroke of Cerebral Apoplexy and not able to comprehend the condition of his property, his relations to the persons named, nor the scope of the provisons of his will. In April 1900, it appears that the property had not yet been sold. There was furniture that Jennie Parrish had bequeathed to her children, which her brother David W. Lichtenthaler, trustee of Jennie's estate had been holding since Jennie's death to give to her children. The bequeathed items appear on the lists of property in Josiah's estate; and David had to appeal to have this addressed.

The stately Parrish house belonged to Jennie, under deed, and her estate file records its careful rebuilding. The City's and State's plans for moving the house to the Historic Village on the Riverfront did not consult historic advisory agencies, and planned to move the house without the kitchen.

On April 27, 1990, Gregg A. Olson of Historic Building Repair, followed up on the visit that David Talbot and David Duniway had made to the Parrish House at 745 Capitol Street NE. (Refer to Box 16, Folder 1.04.) Olson describes detailed findings from spending hours crawling through the attic and basement as well as the house, having found approximately four major, socially relevant remodelings with an interesting and complicated construction history.

On July 5, 1994, a Statesman Journal article entitled "Project Seeks Help" describes a project developers are proposing for an environmental center, to be located next to the Parrish House on Water Street. The center was to be called the Wallamet Environmental Center.

Box 16 1.05b 1806-1991 Parrish, Jennie L., Estate File, State Archives This material was found in Box 16, Folder 1.06 and is in fact a continuation of the story from Folder 1.05. Josiah Parrish married Elizabeth Winn in 1833 in Pike Village, New York. Their children were Lamberson W. Parrish (1834-1840), Norman O. Parrish (1836-1900), Samuel Ball Parrish (1838-1897), and Charles Winn Parrish (1844-1913). Elizabeth died in 1869, and Josiah married Jennie Lichtenthaler (1845-1887) in 1870. Their children were Grace A. (Goldie) Parrish (1872-1939) and Lunalilo Josephine Parrish (1873-1954). Jennie died in 1887, and Josiah married Mattie A. Pierce in 1888.

A copy of the document with which Josiah Parrish deeded land to Jennie Parrish is present in this folder. A full description of the property location is included.

On February 22, 1888, when only Josiah Parrish and a housekeeper were at home, a fire started in the upstairs of the Parrish House. The upper portion of the building was gutted; the origin of the fire was a defective flue. There was another fire starting in the kitchen area in November 1988, in which Mrs. Parrish had dragged Father Parrish out into the fresh air. It was supposed that the same defective flue that caused the February fire contributed to the November fire. Josiah did not have sufficient insurance to cover the damages. The house was repaired within a month from the estate of Jennie Parrish, under a contract with C.A. Robert, the architect and builder.

On July 29, 1990, the Parrish House was moved from 745 Capitol Street to the Heritage Village, just south of the Gilbert House. When first built, it was described: "The residence is one of the most convenient and tasteful in our city." Statesman Journal articles during the move included photographs crossing Salem Parkway and "inching" beneath the Marion Street bridge. An additonal undated article announced that the house would retain its kitchen in the move; this had been a subsequent decision by Salem City Council that approved spending an additional $11,000 to include the kitchen wing.

Hallie Parrish Hinges, the famous "Oregon Nightingale" was the granddaughter of Josiah Parrish. In 1903, Hallie had sung for President Theodore Roosevelt who stated "She has one of the most beautiful voices I ever heard. Have her sing again." An Oregon Journal article dated December 14, 1949 provides insights to her family tree.

Copies of 2 lists from the Index Files of the Oregonian covering the years 1850-1909/10 are present. These pages include 7 entries for members of the Parrish family.

The deed conveying ownership of the Parrish property from Ellen Hoffman (widow of Fred Hoffman) to P.L. Frazier and Angie E. Frazier in 1928.

The South Salem News on August 9, 1990, featured the move of the Parrish House and the fires it had endured in 1888.

A transcription of the Order of Exercises Farewell Meeting of the Mission Family for Oregon, dated Thursday, October 3, 1839 is present. The missionaries and individuals travelling with them on the Lausanne are listed: Captain Josiah Spaulding; Rev. Jason Lee & wife; Rev. J.H. Frost, wife and 1 child; Rev. Gustavus Hines, wife and 1 child; Rev. Wm. Kone & wife; Rev. Alvan Waller, wife and 2 children; Rev. J.F. Richmond, M.D., wife and 4 children; Mr. , wife and 1 child; Mr. Geo.

Ware; Miss Chloe Clark; Miss Elmira Phillips; Mis Orpha Lanckton, Thomas Adams (identified as an Indian boy).

Some of the issues with which the members of the Methodist Mission had to deal are listed. Topics described include: >The death of Ewing Young who died leaving an estate but no known heirs, which resulted in drafting a code of laws; >Jason Lee brought up concerns about how to best use the Indian school building, for whom and at what level, which became the Oregon Institute; >Josiah Parrish witnessed the 1842 eruption of mount St. Helens;

Page 193 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects >Josiah Parirsh was assigned to the Clatsop station with the help of Solomon Smith; in 1843 when Jason Lee was summoned to the East to answer criticism about his administration, he and his daughter and others stayed with Josiah Parrish for several months until a ship arrived; >When the Oregon Methodist Mission dissolved in 1844, Josiah Parrish purchased the Clatsop Station and farm; >Land was given by J.L. Parrish and wife from their Donation Land Claim for burials, and this became the Jason Lee Cemetery; the first person buried there was Lee the second wife of Jason Lee; >Josiah Parrish worked closely with the Indians and was even given Presidential recognition for his efforts; >Josiah Parrish farmed and was an importer and breeder of purebred sheep; he is also credited with the introduction of white clover in Oregon; >Josiah Parrish and his wife Elizabeth deeded land for a Methodist orphan's asylum.

Narrative about Marcus Whitman in 1842 describes: After Marcus Whitman left for the East in Oct 1842, Narcissa planned to spend the winter at The Dalles. There was a great deal of tension with the Indians and she was thought to be in danger. Her health took her to Ft Vancouver where she put her self under the care of Dr Barclay & Dr Tolmie. She remained there two months. Then from Ft Vancouver she went by boat up the Will R. to visit the Methodist Mission where she remained for 3 weeks. In company with Jason Lee and David Leslie she went to the mouth of the Columbia river to say goodby to Daniel Lee & wife who were leaving the Mission. She stayed a day or so on board ship with the Lees, the HBCo ship the "Diamond". Then she went on to Clatsop Mission and visitied the Josiash Parrishs, who was in charge of the Clatsop Mission.

Box 16 1.06 1880-1991 Rockenfield-Bean House, Annex to Gilbert House

The Rockenfield House, built in 1883, was displaced from the Capitol Mall by a new State office building in 1990 and was moved to the Heritage Village site on the Willamette Riverfront. The Parrish House was likewise moved to this site. In 1991, the plans for the Rockenfield House were to expand the 3,500 square feet of exhibit space in the Childrens' Museum of the Gilbert House by another 2,000 square feet. At the time of the most recent entry in the folder, an article from the Statesman Journal, dated April 3, 1991, the work on restoring the house on its new site had barely begun.

A Statesman Journal article dated December 1, 1989 reports that R.G. Andersen-Wyckoff had filed to run for Salem's Mayor, and that one of the major issues facing the next Mayor would be the development of the riverfront. A Statesman Journal article dated December 10, 1989 describes the plans for moving the Josiah Parrish house and the Wilson-Durbin House from the 700 block of Capitol Street to the Heritage Village. Another article dated August 20, 1990 describes the move in progress for the Rockenfield-Bean House, on its way from Capital Street to the Heritage Village.

The Rockenfield-Bean House was named for its original owner, Cleves S. Rockenfield who moved to Salem in 1870 where he engaged in merchandising, and Judge Henry J. Bean of the State Supreme Court who lived in the house for about 20 years. The original location of the house was the corner of Summer and Court Streets, and it was later moved to Capital Street when the new Capitol was built in the early 1930's. Postmaster Gragg occupied the house on Capital Street.

David Duniway searched the Salem Directories and Salem Title and listed the property occupants from 1871-1980. Names: Daniel Payton, C.S. Rockenfield, Sarah M. Rockenfield, Davies Shannon, Frankie A. Hodgkins, Frank E. Hodgkins, Phil Metschom, Charles P. Bacon, Jennie Kyle, Frank E. Smith, Vivian Percival Fisk, J.A. Bernardi, E. Hartley, Mattie E. Bean, Henry J. Bean, Thomas A. Roberts, Arthur S. Benson.

In the 1895 Portland City Directory, Cleves S. Rockenfield is listed as a solicitor, and his wife, Sarah, is listed as a florist. In the 1900 directory, Sarah is listed but not Cleves. In 1901 and 1906, Cleves is listed as an agent of Gideon Stoltz of Salem, and Sarah is not listed. Cleves died in 1907.

Judge Henry J. Bean and his wife Mattie were first listed in the house in 1920. They sold their property to the State of Page 194 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects Oregon in 1937.

Other names: Luella Patton Charlton, Leon Culbertson, Kenneth Moore, Mrs. Helen Moore Bradley, Alice Bingham Powell, Spaulding House, Bertha Stuart, Keith Powell, Veva Poorman.

A deed documenting a transaction in which Floyd K. Bowers and Alice L. Bowers conveyed property to Doratha M. Rockenfeller on Occtober 14, 1952. On the same date, a deed was processed in which Doratha M. Rockenfeller and Paul W. Rockenfeller conveyed property to Floyd K. Bowers and Alice L. Bowers. Both deeds are logged in Volume 444, the first is page 352, and the second is page 354. The end of the second deed states: "The tenancy by the entirety in the above described real property heretofore existing in the above named grantees was terminated by a previous deed of the same date by the above grantees to the above Doratha M. Rockenfeller, and this deed is part of the object and purpose of the parties to re-vest the title to all said premises in the above named grantees as tenants in common, in equal shares. The described property appears to be at the southeast corner of the interesection of Captiol and Center Streets. David Duniway's handwritten notes identify the individuals as Doratha M. Rockenfield and Paul W. Rockenfield, which does not match the signatures of the individuals on the deeds.

Box 17 1.01 1983 Marion County Historical Society Museum In 1964, the Marion County Historical Society was faced with the problem of finding a home for its two Mission houses, the Jason Lee House and the Parsonage. The Oregon Historical Society and the Marion County Historical Society sponsored the formation of the Mission Mill Museum Association as a separate non-profit corporation to acquire the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill property. Following this, the two Societies collaborated on various other projects, and the Association was given the two houses by the Society.

Since 1976, the Society has had an office, library and exhibit space in the Mill building. The Society and Association worked together on the Bicentennial activities and shared annual meetings.

An undated draft of a memo to Mission Mill Museum Association from Marion County Historical Society requests that the two organizations enter into a contract to give the Marion County Historical Society time to find a new facility at the time the Mission Mill Museum opens the Mill Building as a textile center; and to assist the Marion County Historical Society in negotiating and fund raising.

In August of 1982, the Marion County Historical Society museum opened in the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill. The first volunteer docents, Karsten Hagen and Scott Pugh, were high school students who took an interest in the museum and the building.

Other materials in the folder include the following: >A blueprint for the Marion County Historical Center, dated June 20, 1983, prepared by Lindburg & Associates >Historic Preservation Week activities for May 12-20, 1983 >Brief details of the Charles C.

Box 18 1.05 1870-1981 Hubbard (Oregon) Building Notes

The materials in this file pertain to the Hubbard Building, in Salem, Oregon, which functioned as the largest office building and the passenger depot of the Oregon Electric Railway. Mrs. Fannnie E. Hubbard was the owner of the property.

The four-story brick and masonry structure, designed by Ellis Fuller Lawrence, was located at the southwest corner of High and State Streets and completed in 1913. The construction was simple in appearance, with sources of outside light for every office; the interior offices received outside light from the center court extending through the second, third and fourth stories. Amenities included gas and electric lights installed in every room, and hot and cold water. An Otis elevator provided access to every floor. The Globe Theater was one of the earliest tenants. By 1921, references such as the R.L Polk Salem Directory were referring to the structure as the Oregon Building.

Articles from the Daily Statesman, in January 1908, report that representatives from Portland Railway, Light & Power Company and the Oregon Electric Company made a visit to the site in consideration of expansions. They reported liking Salem very much.

The occupancy records for the building from 1913 through 1976 include over 300 entities, ranging from US and State offices to attorneys, insurance companies, architects, theaters, accountants, confectioners, ticket offices, restaurants, barber and beauty shops, and more. The first directory of the building included: Miles Berger, Bishop & Keyte, Bullock's Studio, L.D. Campbell, James T. Chinnock, A.O. Condit, Mrs. Cox, Dawson & Flanigen, Eilers Piano House, F.A.

In 1916, suit was brought by The Alliance Trust Company, Limited, against Fannie E.Hubbard, W.M. Welch and C.R. Welch doing business under the firm name of Welch Brothers, John Bayne, and the United States National Bank of Salem, Oregon. The suit was for foreclosure of 3 mortgages for an aggregate sum of $70,000.00. The Welch Brothers filed a cross-complaint alleging that they held a mortgage on the property covered by plaintiffs mortgages which was given by the defendant Hubbard for the sum of $9,148.65. Fannie E. Hubbard filed a complaint tht she had set up an agreement with the Welch Brothers for the erection of the Hubbard Building and that no accounting was ever had between them for the erection of the building, and alleging that the signing of the said mortgage to the Welch Brothers was procured by fraud and misrepresentations. The original solicitation of bids was for a 2-story structure (plus basement), and the Welch Brothers won this bid for the sum of $39,325. After the completion of the 2-story building, Fannie claimed that the contractors persuaded her to add the third and fourth stories for the additional cost of $19,000. At the time of the suit the Welch Brothers had received $66,605.65, which was over $5000 more than due. Detailed and extensive material describing the case(s) is present in the folder. There are 9 spearate court documents present in the folder, appearing to range from 1913 to 1916. Members of the Supreme Court present on the date of the March 1918 filing: Chief Justice Thomas a.

Box 18 1.06 1913-1988 Hubbard (Oregon) Building, Work Copies The draft copy of the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form for the Hubbard Building (Oregon Building) in Salem, Oregon comprises the content of this folder. The four-story brick masionry office building is located on the southwest corner of High and State Streets in downtown Salem. The style of the building is described as "a restrained example of 20th Century Jacobean commercial style, based on Restoration English architecture." The upper floor interior was re-designed and rebuilt in 1981 to provide modern office space and to conform to the current building code.

The building was designed and built for Mrs. Fannie E. (Keizer) Hubbard, a widow, by Ellis F. Lawrence who also designed the Elsinore Theater across the street. The Hubbard Buidling provided a street-side depot on High Street for the Oregon Electric Railroad. The line for the passengers of the railroad came down High Street in 1908, and extended service to Eugene in 1912. The building is one of the few major structures, privately financed, associated with the brief heyday of electric inter-urban rails in the Willamette Valley.

In finance, the building illustrates ill-advised speculation. This led to ownership and management by Harry Hawkins, who would build a financial empire that extended outside Oregon.

Elements of the application include: the history of the inter-urban railway, the threat of the Oregon Electric Railway to the Southern Pacific Railway, the impact of the auto and good roads on the inter-urban rail service, the relation of the Salem street-side depot to the Hubbard Building, the nature of the transportation center for the public, the effect of the inter-urban rail service upon the economy of the land through which it ran.

Refer to Box 18, Folder 1.07 for additional information regarding the building.

Box 18 1.07 1874-1982 Reeves (Judson W.) House, 1445 Saginaw Street S

Judson W. Reeves was born in Penn Yan, New York in 1874, son of William P. and Sabra (Draper) Reeves. According to an article in the Oregon Statesman on May 16, 1899, the school board decided to sell the whole block of property between Saginaw and Fir, in South Salem, to J.W. Reeves for $500. The District had built the first South Salem School on the block in 1866 for $4,500 and it was eventually replaced by a the new Lincoln School, two blocks away.

Judson W. Reeves was identified as a Republican.

Judson Reeves served as Deputy Clerk of the Oregon Supreme Court in 1900-1902. An announcement in the Statesman on March 21, 1902, indicates that J.W. Reeves had given up his position as Deputy Clerk, moved to California, and A.L. Benson was appointed to fill his place.

Page 213 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects In May 1893, Judson Reeves married Carrie E. Nichols and later left her, moved to San Francisco, obtained a divorce, remaried (Zelle A. Peterson), studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1905. Carrie, despondent that her son was going to live with his father in San Francisco, committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid, stabbing herself in the side with a pen knife, and died in Salem on March 6, 1911. Judson Reeves returned to Oregon for his son, Alfred Raymond Reeves, which was the last they were heard of in Salem.

Owners of the property at 1445 Saginaw Street S since sold by the school board, were: Judson W. & Zella A. Reeves (1899-1915); H.G. Thurston (1915-1916); Andrew & Emma Michaels (1916-1927); W.H. & Vera I. Hertzog (1927-1931); Mary B. Schukey (1931-1939); A.R. & Lola M. Thompson (1939-1946(; R.E. & Betty J. Wright (1946-1947); John W. & Kenneth Bean (1947); George H. & Verdi Millikin (1947-1948); Charles C. & Etna J. Krauger (1948-1958).

Documents indicate that David Duniway's search for information regarding Judson W. Reeves' admission to the Bar in Washington, practice of law in California, and the death of Judson W. Reeves or anything about the son in California proved unsuccessful.

An article in the South Salem News, dated May 18, 1982, features the Judson Reeves house and includes a 1982 photograph.

Box 18 1.08 1919-1988 Review OHQ Hill, The Oregon Trail & Hatch, America David Duniway communicated with Rick Harmon, the Editor for the Oregon Historical Quarterly regarding information about Westward Mrs. Louis Agassiz and the resources used by the author David Michael Hatch. Information summarized by David Duniway in the communication follows.

William E. Hill wrote The Oregon Trail: Yesterday and Today, A Brief History and Pictorial Journey along the Wagon Tracks of Pioneers in 1987. This publication is the product of a childhood interst inspired by family travels and stories of pioneer Kansas. He spent 12 summers exploring and photographing the trail from Independence, Missouri to Oregon City. The book purposefully supplements Aubrey Haines' Historic Sites along the Oregon Trail and Gregory Franzwa's Oregon Trail Revisited and Maps of the Oregon Trail.

David Michael Hatch compiled and edited America Westward in 1987. The appeal of the anthology is to readers of western history. Hatch made his selections from the American History Collection of the Library of Congeres. Opening poems are by Eastern poets with romantic concepts of their forest wilderness. "The First Overland Trip to California" is an account of a party of fur hunters who left St. Louis in 1824 for Santa Fe, San Diego and San Franciso, following the fortune of Sylvester Pattie. "In the Straits of Magellan" by Mrs. E.C. Agassiz is rewritten from a diary. She describes the scientific exploration of the south tip of Chile by Louis Agassiz, her husband, and others aboad the U.S. Coast Guard steamer Hassler in 1872.

The book The Life of Elizabeth Cary Agassiz, written by Lucy Allen Paton includes a chapter entitled The Voyage of the Hassler, 1871-1872, that briefly describes preparation for the journey, participants and route. The author explains that Mrs. Agassiz kept a record of the expedition as instructed by her husband, however, her diary was not fully prepared for press before her husband's death and has never been published as a whole.

In July 1864, an article entitled On Horseback into Oregon describes an author's journey with Bierstadt from Sacramento to Vancouver's Island. The trip was by waterways as far as Tehama then on horseback to Yreka, the and back to Yreka. The full article is not present.

These two books reflect the continuing interest in the settlement of the far west and the desire to tell about it.

Box 19 1.01 1973-1981 Archives Are Everywhere

In 1973, David Duniway prepared an article as a result of a seminar he conducted at Western Washington State College (now University). The title of the presentation was "Archives are Everywhere" and the text describes all the resources that can be used to understand history. In May 1981, David Duniway send a copy of the article to Geoffrey C. Ward, Editor of American Heritage. David describes his motivation for fowarding the article as "Appalled by the cuts in the Federal Budget of the National Archives and Records Service and various related historical programs, I have been impelled to forwrd it to you with a suggestion that American Heritage needs to call attention to this disaster, and needs to help build back many of the programs which have been effected (sic)."

Box 19 1.02 1979-1988 Copyrights In June 1979, David Duniway dispatched inquiries to the U.S. Library of Congress and to the Registrar of Copyrights to request instructions and necessary forms for advance registration of books. These letters are present.

In December 1988, Susie J. Barfield, Supervisory Copyright Examiner of the Copyright Office sent a response to David Duniway regarding his letter of October 11, 1988, regarding his questions about copyright for photographs. This letter is present, as well as a carbon copy of it. This is related to his book, South Salem Past Illustrated Historical Essays.

Box 19 1.03 1980 Editorials

On December 14, 1980, an article in the Oregon Statesman, entilted "Commitment More than a Buzz Word - It's an Integral Part of Life" by Gloria Bledsoe describes commitments as a series of short-term goals that culminate into long-term goals and even a person's life purpose. The article mentions Doug Brown, a rodeo success; and Kathy Condon, a Hollywood make-up artist.

On December 14, 1980, an article in the Oregon Statesman, entitled "City Power Structure has Fallen" by John H. McMillan claims that "the power structure in many American cities and towns, including Salem, has crumbled, and nothing has replaced it." The article describes the Salem Area Transit District efforts for a referendum to raise taxes for buses: 40 civic leaders were invited by Gene Derfler, president of the Salem Area Transit District, to a meeting to discuss a campaign to get voter approval, and of the 16 people who showed up, 2 were critics of the district, 6 were members of the transit district board, 1 was city staff member, one was a state legislator, and 6 were from the group of invited civic leaders. The author's summary was that "the demise of narrowly defined leadership does mean that the cities and towns of America will wither and decay unless we can develop true citizen participation." Other names: Peter Courtney, Denny Smith, Al Riebel, Jim Hill, Eric Meurer, Steve Hawes, Mayor Kent Aldrich.

A draft of an editorial regarding "Leadership" is present in the folder. The text refers to leadership throughout Salem's history. The conclusion is "Within this leadership picture is the overall need for guiding principles. If they are only the ends of a project, the organization will wither and drop. If they are the means to handle an enlarging function they can continue perhaps for generations."

Attached to a newspaper "Chuckle" that states "History: The science that gives us one of the versions of how things might have happened" is a draft of an editorial regarding "History" that features a few highlights of Oregon's and Salem's history.

Box 19 1.05 1988 Genealogy Article

This folder contains a draft of an article entitled "Genealogy and Archives" and the research cards used to prepare the article. There is no indication in the folder of the date the article was written, nor whether it was submitted for publication. The summary paragraph of the article follows: As can be seen from this dicusssion of genealogy and its relation to archival establishments, it is assumed that genealogy can be made of service to various groups of social scientists for their particular purposes, and that archival establishments can be of assistance in making genealogy of service. The nature of various types of genealogical work has been indicated, and the official attitude of the archives toward each group of searches has been suggested, in the hope that the archival establishments can save themselves unjustifiable labor, and turn their energies to more justifiable projects in so far as they relate to the history of persons and families. It has therefore been suggested that some sort of genealogical reference service be developed, for this puropose, and that efforts be made formulate adequate plans for the production of finding mediums for genealogical research, and for the preservation of the correct genealogical records in the future."

In the July 1949 (p 161-162) issue of The American Archivist, David Duniway also reviewed "The State Historical Society of Missouri, a Semicentennial History," by Floyd C. Shoemaker. The review is positive and supportive, describing the publication as "an important contribution to the history of historical societies and should be of interest to other societies faced with the same problem of telling the story of their past."

In an undated issue of The American Archivist (probably 1953) (p177-178), David Duniway reviewed "Guide to the Manuscript Collections in the Library of the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society" by Elizabeth C.

David took issue with Jackson's need to abridge some text to save space and composition costs, and omission of a file number in a letter. In July, Jackson responded to David's comments, and David responded that he now understood the numbering in Jackson's document and that since it did not represent what David had thought, he supported its omission.

Box 20 1.01 1987-1991 Wilson Durbin

On December 9, 1990, the Wilson-Durbin house that had been transferred to the Gilbert House complex, burned to the ground. The fire was believed to have been started by a transient's cigarette or warming fire. The house, built in 1861, was under restoration by the Marion County Historical Society at the time. The house had been built on a sandbar above the record flood of 1861. Following the fire, only two supporting stones remained.

Joseph Gardner Wilson built the house for his widowed mother-in-law; he then sold it to Isaac and Olive Durbin in 1863 for $600. Wilson had arrived in Salem in 1852, on the Lausanne. In 1866, Isaac and Olive sold the house to Isaac's parents, John and Sarah Fitting Durbin, who moved from their (1845) land claim near the Wheatland Ferry. In August, 1980 the house was designated as a local historic resource; and in November 1980 it was entered in the National Register of Historic Places.

Documents contained in the folder include Statesman Journal articles about the fire and loss of the building; diagrams of the house that were being used for the restoration project; correspondence in 1988 between the Marion County Historical Society, the Mayor and City Council regarding the proposed long-term commitment of the Society to restore and maintain the Wilson-Durbin house; a copy of the report from the first meeting of the Wilson-Durbin House Committee on Janaury 10, 1989, including project budget and family/house events/occupancy timeline from 1845 to 1990. One item of interest is a photograph from a newspaper that is pasted to a piece of cardboard: John and Sarah Durbin, Pioneers of 1845, taken on the eve of John Durbin's 103rd birthday.

David Duniway had served as the Chairman of the Committee on the Wilson-Durbin House; the project and Committee had begun organizing in the summer of 1987, and related correspondence between David Duniway and Philip Dole, architectural consultant, are present. In 1991, David Duniway transferred items from the Wilson-Durbin House that had been stored in his

Box 20 1.04 1987-1990 Wilson Durbin, Marion County Historical Society (MCHS) In 1987, the City gave permission to clear the trash out of the Wilson-Durbin house so that Philip Dole, Historical Architecture Consultant, could examine the interior in detail. On September 27, 1987, David Duniway sent a letter to the City of Salem Planning Division to forward a copy of Philip Dole's report and to clarify that most of the work to be done would be done by volunteers because the Mayor's Committee on the Wilson-Durbin House had only $5000. On September 29, 1987, the City gave permission to proceed with roof repairs if no structural work is required. The City required that a fence be installed around the house, and gave permission to proceed with stripping wall paper. The letter also included the specific conditions for the project that had been set by the City in April 1987, including the fact that the Committee had until April 1988 to continue project efforts, that 6-month progress reports would be provided, that the Wilson House Committee would coordinate cleaning and restoration, and that there is no commitment for future funding.

The Historic Landmarks Commission accepted the preliminary Dole report on October 9, 1987. On October 13, 1987, David Duniway informed the Riverfront Subcommittee of the Downtown Development Board that it would lbe necessary to secure the house's roof from weather and requests a revised authorization for the work.

On October 30, 1987, David Duniway was informed that the Riverfront Subcommittee of the Downtown Development Board would not be able to hear his financial report until January , and that the roof could be covered with plastic for the winter rather than replacing the roof had been approved.

Box 20 1.07 1988 Wilson Durbin House Contract MCHS and City

A Historic Structure Resotration Agreement was developed between the Urban Renewal Agency of Salem and the Marion County Historical Society for the purpose of assuring the preservation and restoration of the historic building known as the Wilson-Durbin House, if practical. A copy of the unsigned agreement is present, as are two rough drafts. A cover memorandum from David Duniway, dated October 13, 1988, introduces the Agreement. David notes that the Agreement must serve as a sales document to be submitted to agencies and foundations that might be able to provide substantial grants toward the completion of the work that has begun.

Correspondence between Ron Hutchinson, Risk Manager for the City, John Russell, City Planner, and Eric Olsen, attorney for MCHS in July and August 1988 discuss concerns around liability insurance, fire insurance.

In January 1988, David Duniway provided an interim report of progress on the Wilson-Durbin House project to the Marion County Historical Board, containing 11 items. One concern noted in the report was that "Problems of the homeless who seek shelter in the house and use the fireplace is yet to be solved. The fence was recently crashed, and has been strengthened by the city. This is temporary and imperfect security." As noted in Box 20, Folder 1.01, this situation appears to be exactly what caused the house to burn.

In December 1988, the Senior Planning Office issued a memorandum that described the project progress from their perspective. Their recommendations in the memo are that the Historic Landmarks Commission recommended City Council authorize the Mayor to execute the proposed Wilson-Durbin House Restoration Agreement with the Marion County Historical Society.

The correspondence in the folder consists of 3 letters, an outline of talking points to be covered with Eric, and 3 enlargements of the corner of Water and Center Streets from the Sanborn Map. The correspondence relates to the City acknowledging receipt of Philip Dole's report and responses to questions from the document.

Marion County Historical Society is among the recipients and received $5000. The connection is that Gannett Co. Inc. bought the Satesman-Journal newspapers in 1974. On December 4, 1986, David Duniway sent a letter to The Salem Foundation (c/o Michael Compton) requesting a grant of $10,000 from the Salem Foundation for the Wilson-Durbin House project.

Russell, Senior Planner for the City of Salem, with the Philip Dole report (see Box 20, Folder 1.09), describing the first steps to be taken in the presrvation/-restoration project. John Russell's response to David Duniway and Dan McElhinny confirms receipt of the report, responds to requests previously made, and reminds the project team of the City Council's special conditions for the project. On October 7, 1987, David Duniway sent a letter to the Salem Historic Landmarks Commission forwarding the City's responses regarding permission to proceed with the project. On October 13, 1987, David Duniway sent a letter to the Riverfront Subcommittee of the Downtown Development Board (c/o John Russell) requesting the project work to follow Mr. Dole's recommendations rather than the order previously approved so that they could protect the roof first, then proceed with removal of superimposed surfaces. On October 30, 1987, the City of Salem, via John Russell confirms that the request to change the work order will have to appear before the Historic Landmarks Commission, and might not be able to be presented until November. Guidelines from the Mid-Valley Arts Council for fundraising are present and include these topics: know who you are; know where you are going; know why you want the money, and know what you are going to do with the money when you get it. Each topic contains 10 to 30 relevant questions an organization should be able to answer when addressing fundraising.
