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

"The Petzold House is significant to the McLoughlin Historic District as well as Clackamas County, as the best preserved example of a Craftsmanstyled American Foursquare house. As such, it represents an architectural transition, both in style and in the career of Clackamas County's highly skilled carpenter-builders and inventors, Charles and Henry Vonderahe. The features which originally distinguished the Petzold House are virtually intact. This spacious residence was built in 1911 for Richard Petzold, a well-known Oregon City businessman who operated a meat market and owned considerable property in downtown Oregon City. Petzold, also a charter member of Zion Lutheran Church and a city councilman from 1920 to 1922, lived in the house with his family from 1911 until his death in 1936. His heirs owned the house until 1982, when it was sold to the present owner. During the 1960s the house was occupied by Joseph and Erna Aldrich. The Petzold House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985." - Oregon City Historic Resources Survey Form
