Lusher Barn (1895): "He [Fred Luscher] was born up here, on the family's steep-side dairy farm, in 1895; ... He points out the barn, built the year he was born, but explains that the old house is gone, its three stories considered too old." [Interview with Fred Luscher, "The Oregonian", January 21, 1980]

...the Luscher barn and home of the Fred Luscher family can be seen on the left... The Luscher family, Swiss immigrants, built the barn, a historic treasure, in the [18]80s. Luscher operated a dairy at this location and delivered milk to customers from Latourell eastward.
During the construction of the highway, Fred had two sons, Fritz and Ben, each of whom drove a team pulling a Fresno scraper. Albert Salzman, who worked with the boys, recalled a conversation he had with Fred Luscher regarding the $5.00 per day each boy earned. Albert related that Fred, rolling his hands together, said, in his heavily accented voice, "Every two days a tventy."

This culvert consists of a single 8-foot reinforced-concrete deck slab span. The underpass also has concrete walls and floor. A local landowner required construction of this Cattle Pass so that his herd could migrate to both sides of a pasture bisected by the highway’s construction.
