7 sites in Oregon added to the National Register of Historic Places

Britt Gardens Site, Jackson County, listed on March 6, 2020 -  The Britt Gardens is the former homestead of photographer, agricultural innovator and renowned capitalist Peter Britt. Britt arrived in Oregon in 1852 and lived and worked at this property until his death in 1905. Britt's photographs documenting prominent people, places and events in the second half of the 19th century were known throughout the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, Britt helped pioneer the pear and grape agricultural industries that helped define the region's economy. Pear orchards became a powerful economic driver in the 20th century, and grape cultivation for wineries lead part of the region's 21st century economy. Britt is also known for creating a formal garden on his property that was a cherished community space and popular tourist destination. While homestead sites are commonly found around the state, the historical context, condition, and archaeological deposits of the Britt Gardens Site make it a remarkable site for providing information. Two generations lived on the property for over a century, and well-preserved photographs, diaries, letters and family heirlooms provide important data about the settlement of Oregon. Britt Gardens Site nomination form<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/REDACTED_OR_JacksonCounty_35JA789BrittGardensSite.pdf>.

Portland Zoo Railway Historic District, Multnomah County, listed in March 2020 - Engineered, designed and built by professional railroad engineers and train designers in 1958, the Portland Zoo Railway, which transported people between the Oregon Zoo and Washington Park, is a significant example of railroad and train engineering on a small scale. Notable features include the 30" gauge track, six original train cars, the Washington Park Station, and the railway roundhouse for servicing and storing the locomotives. Parts of the railroad were developed to provide recreational rides through the zoo at Oregon's centennial celebration. Zoo Railway Historic District nomination form.<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/OR_MultnomahCounty_PortlandZooRailwayHistoricDistrict.pdf>

Multnomah School, Multnomah County, listed in March 2020 - Constructed in 1923 in Multnomah Village, the Spanish Colonial Revival school served as the community's only school until its closure in 1979, representing the community's commitment to public education. In 1982, the Portland Parks Bureau took over the school and with community support and involvement adapted it into the Multnomah Arts Center and Senior Center, thereby continuing and expanding its critical role as a community resource. Multnomah School nomination form<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/OR_MultnomahCounty_MultnomahSchool.pdf>.

Elmer and Linnie Miller House, Multnomah County, listed in March 2020. Located in the Eliot neighborhood, this Queen Anne style house was constructed in 1896. It showcases the asymmetry and decorative millwork that characterized the architecture of the era. Miller House nomination form<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/OR_MultnomahCounty_ElmerandLinnieMillerHouse.pdf>.

John A. and Hattie Mae Keating Residence, Multnomah County, listed in March 2020. The Keating Residence is a Shingle Style and Arts & Crafts residence in Portland's West Hills designed by architect Ellis F. Lawrence in 1913. Lawrence was the founder and first dean of the University of Oregon School of Architecture and Allied Arts. The home reflects a change in architecture trends to more open floor plans. It also stands out for its innovative centralized vacuum system. Keating Residence nomination form<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/OR_MultnomahCounty_JohnAndHattieKeatingResidence.pdf>.

Wheeldon Annex, Multnomah County, listed in March 2020. This downtown apartment complex was built in 1911 and is one of the earliest surviving examples of the “U shape" apartment building that became ubiquitous in Portland and cities nationwide. Built by architects MacNaughton and Raymond in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, the five-story brick structure is associated with a period of explosive growth in Portland during the first half of the 20th century. The Wheeldon Annex was considered highly modern and respectable, notable for its built-in, fold-away furniture, single bathrooms for every apartment, dumbwaiters and tenant services. Wheeldon Annex nomination form<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/OR_MultnomahCounty_WheeldonAnnex.pdf>.

The Supreme Court and Library Building, Marion County, listed on March 4, 2020 - Constructed in 1914, the building was spared from the capitol fire of 1935. This was the first building constructed solely for state Supreme Court matters in Oregon. Prior, the judicial department operated out of the 1876 State House, along with all branches of government. William C. Knighton, Oregon's first and only State Architect, designed the building in the Beaux Arts style, characterized by the classical architectural detailing such as the Ionic columns, symmetry, and marble floors. It is considered Knighton's finest representation of the Beaux Arts and is one of his most recognizable works. In addition, the building garnered recognition beyond Oregon's borders. In 1915, the governing body of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition presented a bronze placard to the State of Oregon to commemorate the dedication of the building. The Supreme Court and Library Building is the 67th listed property in the City of Salem and the first listing since the Lord and Schryver House and Garden in December 2014.

As museums and cultural organizations continue to adapt to the challenges brought on by the coronavirus, many have revamped and expanded their digital presence and offerings.
