Old U.S. Highway 99W, also known as "Pacific Highway West," traveled through the western side of the Willamette Valley, passing through Corvallis. In downtown, the route split into one-way traffic along 3rd Street (northbound) and 4th street (southbound). Travelers heading south on 4th street passed in front of the historic Benton County Courthouse, one of the most attractive courthouses in Oregon. Built in 1888-89, the courthouse is still in use today.
