residence in 1902, Juniper House co-founders John Trevitts, Doug Foland, and Jan Weyeneth converted the building into Oregon’s first HIV/AIDS end-of-life care home in 1987. From May 1987 to September 1989, Juniper House filled a critical void in Oregon's healthcare
system during a period marked by widespread stigma and systemic discrimination of people with HIV/AIDS. The care facility offered medical care as well as emotional support and a sense of peace, community, and normalcy for residents. Advocacy and education
were also integral components of the mission of Juniper House; during its operation, press and local news outlets were invited to the house, leading to newspaper articles and documentary features on KGW-TV and Oregon Public Broadcasting that reached broad
audiences in the late 1980s. Juniper House’s influence was crucial in shaping public opinion and responses to HIV/AIDS in Oregon, and it inspired the establishment of several similar end-of-life care facilities around the state in the late 1980s and after.

</span></b><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">in Portland, Multnomah County, listed in February 2025. Situated on a hillside in northwest Portland’s Westover Terrace subdivision, the Burkes-Belluschi House was designed by Pietro Belluschi for Dr.
D. C. Burkes and his wife Genevieve in 1944; due to World War II shortages, construction was not completed until 1948. In designing the house Belluschi worked closely with the Burkes, who admired modernist architecture and the International Style in particular.
As one of the leaders in developing the Northwest Regional Style, Belluschi was sensitive to the house’s siting as well as its materials. The result was a house with expansive city views, deep eaves, woven wood ceilings, and stone fireplaces. This is Belluschi’s
only residential design in western Oregon to display elements of both the International and Northwest Regional styles of architecture. After retiring as dean of M.I.T.’s School of Architecture and Planning in 1965, Pietro Belluschi and his wife Marjorie purchased
the house from Genevieve Burkes and made it their last personal residence. <a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/SG100011447.pdf">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Dr. Edward and Anne McLean House
</span></b><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">in West Linn, Clackamas County, listed in January 2025. Located on the southern bank of the Willamette River in West Linn’s Bolton Neighborhood, the McLean House was designed and constructed by the Henderson-Bankus
Company for Dr. Edward and Anne McLean in 1927. The house exhibits a modified or eclectic Colonial Revival style with its symmetrical side-gabled form, original multilight wood windows, entry portico, and English Cottage-style rolled-edge roof. While notable
for its architectural merit, the McLean House is also significant for its association with the Physicians’ Association of Clackamas County (PACC), a very early Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) using the prepaid medical care foundation model. Dr. Edward
McLean, working from his home office, collaborated with Dr. William O. Steele, and Dr. John (“Jack”) G. P. Cleland to develop the organization between 1932 and 1938, in the depths of the Great Depression. Their mission was to provide health care coverage that
was high quality, affordable, and designed to fit the needs of area residents—many of them millworkers and their families. The PACC was unique for its time, and it has since proved to be a national model for improving health care delivery.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Lee-Janouch House</span></b><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> in Medford, Jackson County, listed in January 2025. The Lee-Janouch House is significant
as an excellent—and unusual—example of the National Park Service Rustic or Cascadian style in a private residential application. The house was constructed in 1934 by Isaac “Ike” Davidson, the building superintendent of Crater Lake National Park, for Medford
residents Dr. Robert and Dema Lee. Davidson sourced stone for the house’s distinctive masonry façade from Crater Lake National Park and engaged National Park Service personnel, techniques, and equipment in its construction. He later pled guilty to misuse of
federal funding and served as the primary witness in a related case against his supervisor; both men were terminated from the Park Service and served prison time as a result. As a result of its connection with Crater Lake National Park, the materials and design
of the Lee-Janouch House echo the Rustic or Cascadian style associated with the Park Service. The building features battered stone walls constructed of located sourced masonry, redwood board-and-batten siding in the gable ends, and simple interior finishes.

Marbach on two digital photographic exhibitions that showcase the essence of Oregon and its vibrant communities.
<i>The Power of Place </i>highlights Oregon’s awe-inspiring landscapes, from its rugged coastline to its tranquil valleys and majestic peaks, many of which have remained unchanged for centuries.
<i>The Pursuit of Happiness </i>shifts the focus to the people and communities of Oregon and the way we gather to celebrate the diverse cultures that define our state. Both exhibitions are being made into physical traveling exhibitions, which will soon be available
to organizations and heritage sites statewide. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
