“HOUSE DETECTIVE” LECTURE SET IN ASTORIA
 
Is the Molalla Log house Oregon’s oldest building?  Gregg Olson, an
authority on pioneer structures in Oregon, will present a “house
detective” lecture to explore this question beginning at 7 p.m., May 9
in Columbia Hall, Room 219, at Clatsop Community College, 1651 Lexington
Ave., Astoria.  Olson’s lecture will cover the historical context of the
house, cultural trends in log buildings, and his use of dendrochronology
(dating based on an analysis of tree rings).
