"DeWitt Clinton and Ellen Scott Latourette purchased lots 1 through 8 from Thomas Charman in 1887 and built his house in 1891. Latourette was born in Oregon City in 1856 to a prominent Oregon City family. A financier and banker, he was instrumental in establishing the Oregon Commercial Bank of Oregon City in 1889. Latourette was a stockholder in several Oregon City businesses and served as Oregon City attorney, as city councilman, and as deacon in the Oregon City Baptist Church. He attended Pacific Union in 1878 and taught school in Yamhill County for several years, before being admitted to the bar in 1882. Following his death in 1937, Mrs. Latourette continued to live in the house until the mid- 1940s. After that time, the house was used as a rental until sold the Latourette estate in the 1960s. This property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992." - Oregon City Historic Resource Survery Form
