<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">In 1926, Clatskanie IOOF Hall became the town’s first large concrete building, and it remains the most imposing structure in town today. Designed by noted Portland architect Ernst Kroner, the building served as the community's social and cultural center. It housed a movie theater and post office on the first floor; and dental, law offices, meeting spaces, and the lodge hall itself on the second. As a community gathering place, The IOOF Hall provided space for a vaudeville show in 1927, featured the first local “talkie” in 1930 and accommodated the organization of Oregon’s first People’s Utility District in 1940. Central to life in Clatskanie, it served as a place for a war bond benefit dance in 1945, Grange or Kiwanis meetings; and a place where local citizens picked up the mail or consulted a lawyer. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">Constructed during the postwar period, the Depoe Bay Ocean Wayside is the only state wayside designed to serve the rapidly increasing ranks of the motoring public, while specifically taking advantage of a unique scenic vista - the world’s smallest navigable harbor at Depoe Bay.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The State Highway Department sought to provide an efficient road system and encourage travel to Oregon’s scenic places. The Wayside blends these two missions, providing an easily accessible rest stop and concession on a popular tourist route, with access to Oregon’s natural beauty. The building’s low profile, large picture windows, and minimal decoration is typical of the 1950s, and offers visitors beautiful panoramic views, while the intentional placement of the building below the highway minimizes its impact on the Ocean view from the roadway.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">Built in 1917, the Oregon State Soldiers’ Home Hospital in Roseburg is historically significant for its unique association with the early statewide development of a comprehensive health care system for aging and disabled Oregon volunteer veterans. Designed in the Colonial Revival style using the “pavilion plan” type of hospital construction, the building was beautiful and functional. The hospital’s narrow shape with wings allowed for rows of large windows that provided good ventilation and light and separation between different wards to prevent the spread of disease. With the support of the City of Roseburg, and groups like the Grand Army of the Republic and the Women’s Relief Organization, the Soldiers’ Hospital became the primary health care facility in Oregon for volunteer veterans of the Civil War, Indian wars, Spanish-American War, and World War I. The Soldiers’ Hospital served the needs of volunteer veterans for over 15 years, from 1917 to 1933, when the Veteran Administration completed a new hospital in Roseburg.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">Located in the center of Talent, the Talent Elementary School has served literally and figuratively as the center of civic life in that community since its construction in 1895. Notable as a rare and almost entirely intact example of a 19th century wood-frame public building, it served as a school until acquired by the city in 1914. This one-story building has housed virtually every aspect of Talent’s local government. It functioned as the city hall, city offices, post office, and the library. It has also hosted a wide variety of non-profit community groups, public lectures, dances, public movies, and other events. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
