"This house was reported constructed in 1882. The recorded owners at the time were Daniel and Mary Leahy. Charles David Latourette purchased this property in 1885 and lived there with his family until 1930. Latourette was a prominent member of a locally important family that contributed significantly to the development of Oregon City. He and brother D.C. Latourette established the first bank in Oregon City in 1886, the Commercial Bank of Commerce and practiced law locally. Latourette was an organizer and first president of the Clackamas County Bar Association and served as councilman, police judge and mayor of Oregon City. He and his wife, Sedonia Shaw had four sons. (The address was renumbered in 1916.) The house remained in the Latourette extended family until 1979. Donie Latourette purchased it in 1930 and sold it to Edna in 1945 who passed it on to Linn Latourette in 1974. This property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980." - Oregon City Historic Resources Survey Form
