In 1996, the City of The Dalles was awarded a Historic Preservation Fund matching grant-in-aid to update documentation of the 95 standing features within the district. The accompanying document supersedes the original with the exception of the U.S.G.S. Topographical Quadrangle showing UTM references which are unaffected by the revisions. The revised document accomplishes the following. Amends the historic period of significance to 1860-1945, as opposed to 1857-1938. • Adds auxiliary buildings, revises construction date, or revises contributing status of 22 properties based on new information and the alterations and rehabilitation projects which have been carried out since 1986. • Corrects an error in the original boundary delineation which, in Block 5, Bigelow Addition to the Original Plat of The Dalles City, was drawn through a large non-historic building occupying Lots 7 through 10 and portions of Lots 11 and 12 of said Block. 5. As revised, the boundary properly includes the entire tax lot occupied by the Bakitchen Bakery and represents an addition of 0.46 acres to the district. In accordance with Federal Regulations 36 CFR 60.14(a)(l), relating to changes to boundaries of properties listed in the National Register, the revised historic district nomination was presented for review by the State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation on February 12,1998. Pursuant to the rules, the affected property owner and the Certified Local Government were notified of their opportunity to comment on the inclusion of the full tax lot within the bounds of the registered area. No objection was expressed from any quarter. The state review board approved the amended period of significance and minor boundary change in unanimous action. NFS Form 10-900-a OMB Approval No. 1024-4018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Section number THE DALLES COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT (1860-1945) The Dalles Wasco County, Oregon NRIS #86002953 Listing date: 11-4-86 Revision of Contributing Status The purpose of this continuation sheet is to affirm the appropriate reclassification of one of the properties within The Dalles Commercial Historic District that was upgraded to contributing status on the basis of new information and a rehabilitation project carried out subsequent to the district's listing in 1986. The Baldwin Saloon (Inventory No. 105), located at 205 Court Street, is a single-story Italianate commercial building now documented to a date of 1877 instead of 1876. Whereas in the documentation of 1985 the building was characterized as having "extensive modifications on all elevations by covering original brick with stucco" and aluminum windows, the primary facade is now restored. In a model rehabilitation project of recent date, stucco was removed from the streetfront and west elevation. The cast-iron facade arcade appropriately frames four bays of double-leaf glazed and paneled doors with arcuated transoms. All the wall openings which were modified with aluminum frames have been restored, and wood frames are reinstated. The building dating from the district's primary historic period of significance also is returned to its original use in that it now serves as a micro-brew pub. The interior, essentially a single open space, lacks much of its original finish work since wall cover was removed years ago to expose the brick. However, original flooring is intact and refinished.
