Boyd, Charles, Homestead Group - Bend, OR - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
In 1979, the three buildings of the Charles Boyd Homestead Group were moved to this location from their original location a quarter mile to the south to make way for a shopping center. The three buildings are the ranch house (1905), the bunk house, and the ice house (1909). These improvements to the land claimed by Charles Boyd in 1904 were undertaken over a period of years and also include a barn, hay shed, corrals, feedlots, a slaughter house and a power house. The Boyd cattle ranch eventually encompassed 600 acres and supplied its own retail butcher shop in downtown Bend, various construction crews and the logging camps of Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Company. This group of buildings is the only intact group of ranch buildings dating from the years of Bend’s founding.
