01- First Presbyterian Church (1909)
114 SW 8th Street
Style: Gothic Revival
Circa: 1909
Builder: E.G. Allen
The First Presbyterian Church is the area’s only example of Late English Gothic architecture as interpreted in the early 20th Century. Prominent architectural features are the two towers and the single- story large circular unit housing the sanctuary and nave. Exterior walls are divided into five bays each with three transom and sash stained glass windows except for the center bay which has five. The upper level clerestory windows have stained glass. The two main entry doors are set in a Gothic arch. A conical roof is located over the circular portion of the building and a hip roof is used on the south and west sides. The Corvallis Presbyterian Church was organized in 1853 and is the second oldest Presbyterian Church in Oregon. The first church building was built in c.1860. Prior to its completion, services were held in the city school and then the courthouse. In 1909, plans were initiated for a new church. Portland architect John W. Bennis designed the building but plans were modified by architect E. E. McClaren to reduce costs. Portland contractor E. G Allen built the church for $18,600. In 1928 the Church Educational Building was completed at the south side.

N-02 - Monroe Courts (1940)
735-761 NW Monroe Street
Style: Vernacular
Circa: 1940
Builder: Unknown
The Monroe Court Apartments were built in 1940 in the Vernacular style. The basic plan is rectilinear with boxy shapes and low-pitched roofs. The front apartments are single story with fireplaces. Each apartment has a back door off the kitchen. The windows have horizontal orientations compared to the vertical styles seen in the 19th century. Wooden corner windows help to bring charm and more light into the individual apartments where ceiling heights are eight feet. The ground level bay windows are supported by a brick facade. Five of the seven apartments surround a courtyard with a brick lamp post. A distinctive blue neon sign is supported by iron pillars and brick walls. Neon was discovered in 1898. The first lights were invented in France in 1902 and then introduced in the US in 1923 and was dubbed “liquid fire”. As befitting one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, there is‘walkability’ in all directions - east to downtown, west to the OSU campus and south to Central Park.

N-03 - The Wells-Savage House (1899)
206 NW 8th Street
Style: Queen Ann
Circa: 1899
Builder: Unknown
The prominent 1899 Wells-Savage House is an excellent example of the late Queen Anne style. The house originally rested on a stone foundation. Today concrete blocks have been added above the stone. Exterior features include overlapping shingles used to clad the gable ends which also sport decoratively sawn bargeboards. Decorative columns flank the front entry with a detailed wrap around verandah. The windows of the main facade are wide and a first story window features an upper sash surrounded by a border of colored panes. The interior of the house retains many original details such as doors, molding, hardware and staircase. A two story rear addition was added between 1927 and 1949. The siting of the house on two lots enhances the significance of the property. The first owner of the house was Mary J. Wells, the wife of W. A. Wells. They occupied an almost identical house on the north corner of this block. It is likely that this house was built as a rental. Thomas Gatch and his wife were the first renters. Gatch served as president of Oregon Agricultural College. Milton S. Woodcock, a prominent Corvallis banker, sold the house in 1907 to his sister Carrie Savage. The Savage family occupied this house for many years.

N-04 - Walter & Clara Brown House (1928)
215 NW 8th Street
Style: Bungalow
Circa: 1928
Builder: Unknown
The 1928 Walter and Clara Brown House is an early example of a two-story wood frame Bungalow. Historically, the Bungalow did not gain popularity until the second decade of the 20th century. The house sits on its original post and beam foundation. The front second story gable with a window box sits on a pitched roof that curves over the wide front porch. The glassed entry door is framed with two sidelight windows. The house is clad with a nice mix of lap and shingle siding, a common design in early bungalows. Interior features include a central stairway leading to five bedrooms. The kitchen has original fir countertops, farm sink and cabinetry. There have been very few alterations to the house. Dr. Walter Sheldon Brown was a professor of Horticulture and head of the Experimental Station Department at Oregon Agricultural College from 1913-1942. It is said that the Brown’s planted the magnificent hybrid sycamore tree which along with the picket fence adds character and charm to the welcoming front entrance. The house has had only three owners in its long history.
***********
05 - 228 NW 8th Street (1913)
Style: Arts and Crafts
Circa: 1913
Builder: Unknown
This 1913 house is a transitional example of an Arts and Crafts style on an American Foursquare form. The elements of this form include a square boxy design and a large full length front porch with wide stairs. They were commonly built with the top few feet of the basement walls extending up out of the ground. These houses provided maximum amount of interior room space using a city lot to its best advantage. Two projecting box bay windows on the south and north sides of the house add to this compact feel. The hipped roof has distinct decorative eave brackets reflecting the Arts and Crafts style. The ornamental molding design on the porch columns is also an Arts and Crafts element. This same design is found on wall molding in the front entry hall. Original interior features include a pocket door to the front room as well as decorative hardwood flooring. An addition was added onto the back of the house in later years. County and city records on early property ownership are unclear.

N-06- Kappa Sigma Fraternity House (1911)
239 NW 8th Street
Style: Colonial Revival
Circa: 1911
Builder: Unknown
The Kappa Sigma Fraternity building was the first college fraternity house in Corvallis. The Colonial Revival building was erected in 1911 by Thomas Whitehorn, who put up the house as a fraternity of twenty Oregon Agricultural College students. Whitehorn was the president of the Corvallis State Bank and was the owner of a considerable amount of city property, including business blocks. The 2½ story building is L-shaped with distinct palladium windows in the dormers. The flat porch roof is supported by five Tuscan columns with wide cement steps leading to the porch and front entry. Tripled windows are situated on each side of the door. The distinct shingle siding is not original. In 1930 two fires destroyed portions of the house, including the kitchen at the rear of the building. The Kappa Sigma’s decided to build a new fraternity closer to campus. During the Second World War there was a housing shortage and the building was converted to ten apartments. It has remained as apartments since that time, with relatively little modification to the structure. Room arrangement, doors and interior hardware are intact. Flowering plants enhance the yard around the building.

N-07 - Lewis G. Kline House (1885) [NR]
308 NW 8th Street
Listed in the National Historic Register of Historic Places
Style: Italianate
Circa: 1885
Builder: Unknown
The 1885 L.G. Kline house is one of the best examples of early Italianate style in Corvallis. It is wood frame construction and has a low hip roof. The windows are one-over-one, double hung sash with decorative entablatures supported by small brackets. A massive fireplace, probably a later addition, stands on the south side. A partially enclosed front porch with a balcony surrounds the front entry on the east side. At the rear there is a small latticed back porch and fruit house. The Kline family emigrated from Russia and Poland by way of Panama in 1864 arriving in Corvallis with the first sewing machine to be seen in the city and some cloth with which to begin a tailoring business. Mr. Lewis Kline successfully expanded his business, opening the L.G. Kline and Company mercantile store in 1868. In 1886 his son Simon assumed management and became active in community development and politics. The Kline home retains the charm and scale of a spacious 19th century house and was listed in the National Historic Register of Historic Places in 1981.

N-08 - Winfred & Louise Atwood House (1913)
214 NW 7th Street
Style: Bungalow
Circa: 1913
Builder: Unknown
The 1913 Atwood House is architecturally significant as one of the best examples of a Bungalow style in the North Central Park Historic neighborhood. The design and details are especially exhibited in the double-gable profile on the south side. A one story porch extends the entire length of the main facade and features concrete piers upon which rest tapered wooden porch posts. The main entry is located off-center to the north and features a wide door with one recessed panel below a large sash of glass. There is great variety in window shape, size, type and arrangement. Projecting rectangular one story bays with three windows are located on the south and north sides. The gable roofs, including the porch roof, have broadly projecting eaves with exposed rafters and brackets. An exterior concrete “brick “fireplace composed of plain, and rock-faced concrete bricks, is located on the south side. There is also an interior chimney of the same material. Sycamore trees lining the street enhance the setting of the house. Winfred Atwood was the first professor of plant physiology at Oregon Agricultural College and served on the faculty until 1951. The Atwoods frequently entertained foreign students in their home.
S-01 - Corvallis Arts Center (1889) [NR]
700 SW Madison Ave.
On The National Register of Historic Places
--
Circa: 1889
Style: Gothic Revival
Builder: Lawrence, Holford & Allyn
--
Built in 1889, the Episcopal Church of the Good Samaritan is a wonderful example of 19th century gothic revival design. It was built by Lawrence, Holford and Allyn and was originally located on the southeast corner of 7th and Jefferson. The building has a cruciform shape with lancet arch windows and front entry way. Lawrence made un-built designs for a new church for this congregation in 1924 and built their rectory in 1929. Financial difficulties from 1925 into the 1930’s prevented erection of a new church, so they remodeled the old church in 1936. Though no known records conclusively link Lawrence to this work, it is highly probable he was involved. Spotty church records indicate that 1936 alterations included the extension of the front of the church, which added four windows on either side of the nave. A chapel was also added on one side to the rear and perhaps the basement. After moving to a new church on Harrison, the old church was secularized on August 27, 1961, and moved to its present site. The former sanctuary area floor and interior wall surfaces were altered when moved and made into an art center. Heavy timber trusses and other original features however still exist

S-02 - Jeffreys-Porter House (1889)
142 SW 8th St
--
Style: Italianate
Circa: 1889
Builder: Unknown
--
The Jeffreys-Porter House was built in 1889 by Samuel and Rose Jeffreys and is a classic example of the Italianate style. Rectangular in plan, the house rests on a stone foundation with poured concrete supporting the rear of the house and added garage. The two porches on the east and south sides have nice detailing with posts, diagonal brackets and wood railing balusters. Rectangular projecting bays grace the east and south sides. Although the house is used as office space today, many original interior details remain. Samuel Jeffreys was a lawyer and Benton County Representative to the Oregon Legislature. Johnson Porter was born in 1859 in Corvallis just as Oregon joined the union as the 33rd state. In 1889 he started and managed the first electric light plant in Corvallis. He served as police judge of Corvallis in the 1890s and later served as mayor. Johnson’s son Fred and his wife Ida lived in the house after 1913 when Johnson and his wife moved to apartments above the Majestic Theater.

S-03 - Floyd & Zeta Johnson-Bogue House (1913)
202 SW 9th St
Circa: 1913
Style: Classic Box Foursquare
Builder: Unknown
--
The 1913 Bogue House is architecturally significant as a very intact example of an early 20th century American Foursquare style. The house rests on a foundation of miracle hollow blocks . The blocks are rock faced with smooth margins. The one story porch extends the length of the main façade and features square posts. Two metal lanterns, probably original, flank the entry door. The glass in the door and the two sidelights is beveled. The most common window treatments are transom over sash windows. Some of the transoms feature leaded glass. The central hipped roof dormer nicely completes the main façade. The sidewalk leading to the main porch has the initials FEB, Floyd E. Bogue. William Bogue, Floyd’s father, previously had a house in this location and had it moved to the lot south of the current house prior to its construction. The William Bogue House is no longer standing. Floyd was a cashier at the Benton County State Bank and was a member of the Corvallis City Council. Records show that Zeta Bogue died in the 1918 flu epidemic.

S-04 - John W. Foster Foster House (1912)
861 SW Jefferson Ave
Circa: 1912
Style: Craftsman Bungalow
Builder: Charles Heckart
--
The John W. Foster House is an excellent example of a two-story wood frame Bungalow style built in 1912. The two-story building situated to the northeast of the house is one of the only intact barns (c.1890) left in the area. It was eventually used as a two-story carriage house and stable. Sometime in the teens a one-car auto garage was erected to the northwest of the house. Intact today, the garage sports the original clapboard siding and swinging auto entrance doors. The porte-cochere on the east side was added c.1920. The typical bungalow front porch is accented with the original stained oak door with beveled glass panes and heavy oak dentils. Notable interior features are brown and white floor tiles in front of the fireplace and fir floors. John Wesley Foster, a widely known Benton County citizen was born in 1858. His father, John Foster Sr. crossed the plains with ox teams and his family in 1845 to settle eight miles south of present Corvallis. John Jr. started his own claim and specialized in breeding and raising Durham Cattle. He married Lora C. Alexander, raised two daughters and moved his family into town by 1911. Daughter Ada Foster lived in the house almost continuously from c.1920 until her death in 1983.

245 SW 8th Street
Circa: 1904
Style: Colonial Revival
Builder: Charles Heckart & Edward Buxton
--
The 1904 Buxton-Corrie House is an excellent early example of vernacular Colonial Revival style. The front porch roof is supported by six classical truncated wood posts. Interior Craftsman varnished oak detailing includes a square post and baluster staircase, a fireplace flanked by built-in settee and wood box and a pantry between the kitchen and dining room with built-in china cabinet, four bins and counters. A closed stairway leads from the kitchen to the second floor maid’s room. In 1899, Edward Buxton became a partner in the Central Planing Mills and Box Factory, the largest and best known manufacturing establishment in Benton County. Buxton and Charles Heckart built the house for Buxton who lived in it for one year. The House is more associated with the John Corrie family, owners for 72 years. Corrie, born in Illinois in 1865, moved to Corvallis to escape the extreme weather in Bozeman Montana where he had a wheat ranch. He bought a Linn County farm and devoted his life to farming. His daughter Eva lived in the home until 1983.

762 SW Jefferson Ave
Circa: 1908
Style: Craftsman Bungalow
Builder: Charles Heckart
--
The 1908 John A. Bexell House is the earliest example of a true Craftsman bungalow in the South Central Park historic neighborhood. Built by Corvallis’s best known builder from this period, Charles Heckart, the house is intact and has had few owners.

S07 - James A. Wood Grocery Store (1892)
445 SW 9th Street
Circa: 1892
Style: Italianate
Builder: Unknown
The James A. Wood general merchandise store is a significant example of intact 1890’s Italianate architecture in Corvallis. It is the only wooden frame grocery store building remaining in the city before the turn of the century. The store was probably located to attract Willamette Valley and Coast railroad passengers as well as college students, considering its close proximity to both the train depot and campus. Built in about 1892 the building was originally situated on the southwest corner of the lot with a one-story full front porch extending to the sidewalk. The ground floor front bay cabinet window would have been used for the display of goods and produce. The hipped roof has boxed eaves with wooden brackets boasting a rinceau design with branches and leaves. Sometime before 1912 James brother Samuel converted the store building to his home. At this time, a new wrap porch was added along the front and south sides. The one-story wing on the east side is original and is now one of two apartments in the building. Samuel Wood was a noted merchant and minister whose family lived in the house for about 40 years.

S-08 - Charles & Ibby Whiteside House (1922)
344 SW 7th St
Circa: 1922
Style: Aeroplane Bungalow

Early, the second story cockpit sleeping porch was enclosed. The house displays remarkable historic integrity both inside and out. The interior showcases a brick fireplace flanked with built-in bookshelves and a seat with a basement wood lift. The giant sycamore trees in front were planted in the 1920’s. Charley Whiteside was a prominent member of the Corvallis community and entered the hardware business and later operated Whiteside Motors on the corner of 3rd and Monroe. In the 1940’s he joined his brothers Sam and George in the theater business in Corvallis.
