Clark, Elizabeth, House - Oregon City, Oregon - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"This majestic 1930 Georgian style house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its rectangular shaped plan is clad with brick, with stucco on the north and south elevations. The house is capped with a gabled roof, which is clad with hand thrown tile and retains the original gutters (per owner). Typical of the Georgian style, the front façade is bi-laterally symmetrical with and elaborately decorated main entrance.

In 1929, Elizabeth Clarke purchased two lots in this block and is responsible for the construction of the residence. It was designed by Morris H. Whitehouse, a prominent architect in the Portland area, who had the original colored fixtures for the house shipped from New York. Clark resided at the property until its sale in 1936 to Otto T. and Erna Hogg, who were the proprietors of Hogg Brothers Furniture on Main Street. The couple continued to own and occupy the house until its sale to Horace and Evangeline Bachelder in 1963. Reverend Bachelder, who preached at the Atkinson Memorial Congregation Church, lived here with his family until the early 1970s. This property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990." -  Oregon City Historic Resources Survey Form
