Two Oregon sites recently listed in the National Register of Historic Places
The Riverside Community Hall, Albany
The Riverside Community Hall is among Oregon's latest entries in the National Register of Historic Places. Oregon's State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation (SACHP) recommended the nomination at their October 2022 meeting. The National Park Service - which maintains the National Register of Historic Places - accepted this nomination in February 2023.
The Riverside Community Hall is in a rural area in the midst of prime farmland, and is approximately 3 ½ miles southwest of Albany, and six miles northeast of Corvallis. Built by community members in 1921, the community used Riverside Hall for a wide variety of uses, including social gatherings, public presentations and speeches, dramatic and musical performances, community meals, religious services, clubs, interest groups and as a Grange hall. The building expresses many of the features typically associated with the Craftsman style as applied to a public building, including open eaves supported by kneebraces, extensive use of woodwork, and built-in cabinetry and other furniture.
The first documented start of the Hall dates to a group of ladies who decided in 1908 that they needed a community center where people could meet. They formally organized in 1918 and began to look for a site. In 1920 Callamette Grange #543 (established in 1916) gave $1000 for a new community building, when a site could be procured, with the understanding they could hold their meetings in the new Hall.
To construct the community hall, the community members came together for the purpose of pooling their abilities and resources. With a lot of community support and fund raising, it was completed in five months, and the mortgage was retired in May 1923. Although most of the labor and materials were donated by community members, the value of the building was estimated to have cost the equivalent of $5,000 in labor, materials, and raised funds.
The Portland Golf Club Clubhouse and Golf Course, Portland
The Portland Golf Club Clubhouse and Golf Course is among Oregon's latest entries in the National Register of Historic Places. Oregon's State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation (SACHP) recommended the nomination at their October 2022 meeting. The National Park Service - which maintains the National Register of Historic Places - accepted this nomination in February 2023.
The Portland Golf Club Clubhouse and Golf Course is located at 5900 SW Scholls Ferry Road in unincorporated Washington County, Oregon approximately six miles southwest of downtown Portland, Oregon in the city's Raleigh Hills neighborhood.
Development and design of the course was undertaken by the initial members, who transformed the 115-acre tract of land at Firlock Station on the Oregon Electric Railroad, which was selected over alternative sites such as the former Ladd Farm in the northeast portion of Portland, into a functioning golf course. The completion of the course's construction occurred in 1915.
Between 1915-1965 the Portland Golf Course was the premiere Golf Course in the Portland Metropolitan Area, having hosted more high-profile amateur and professional events than any other course in the state. This included the 1946 PGA Championship and the 1947 Ryder Cup.
A litany of winners in tournaments on the course included Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Cary Middlecoff, Billy Casper, Jack Nicklaus, Kathy Whitworth, Donna Caponi Young, and Nancy Lopez. The last major PGA Tour event held at the course, before the PGA required courses to have longer tracks to host PGA Tour events, happened in 1965.
The National Register is maintained by the National Park Service under the authority of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.
This effort is in line with Oregon's Statewide Preservation Plan that seeks to increase the number of listings in the National Register. It also supports the goals to increase access to Oregon heritage that are part of the Oregon Heritage Plan.
Properties listed in the National Register are:

  *   Recognized as significant to the nation, state, or community;
  *   Considered in the planning of federal or federally-assisted projects;
  *   Eligible for federal and state tax benefits;
  *   Qualify for historic preservation grants when funds are available;
  *   Eligible for leniency in meeting certain building code requirements;
  *   Subject to local laws pertaining to the conservation and protection of historic resources.
State law in Oregon requires local governments to offer a minimal level of protection for properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places; the decisions about how to accomplish that goal reside with local governments, which also have the authority to create and regulate local historic districts and landmarks.

The Architectural Heritage Center and Japanese American Museum of Oregon release digital Japantown story map
The Japanese American Museum of Oregon and the Architectural Heritage Center are proud to present A Forgotten Community: A Tour of Portland's Lost Japanese American Community, digital storytelling map available now online. The collaboration was made possible through a one-time $25,000 grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Telling the Full History Preservation Fund, with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This grant program interprets and preserves historic places of importance to underrepresented communities across the US and demonstrates how preservation is a powerful tool for advancing justice and equity.
The interactive digital story map, publicly accessible to all online, highlights 20 different locations that were core to the establishment of Portland's Japanese American community, especially in the area of Northwest Portland known as Japantown-Nihonmachi, in Japanese-in the early 1900s. This area was home to hundreds of Japanese-owned shops, restaurants, hotels, and services until 1942, when Executive Order 9066 authorized the imprisonment of all persons of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast. These 20 stories include key people and buildings that helped anchor Nihonmachi, some of which still exist today elsewhere in Portland. A companion walking tour includes the sites that are currently accessible in Old Town and will continue to be developed by the Architectural Heritage Center as a guided experience.
This project is particularly poignant at this time, while the present-day Japanese American community mourns the demolition of the old Blanchet House, which, from 1921-1941, was the Yamaguchi Hotel. It was managed by Shigezo and his wife, Masae Yamaguchi, who also served as the midwife for the Japanese community, providing much-needed assistance to women who were not getting the care they needed from hospitals. When the story map project began, the building stood as a testament to Masae and the Yamaguchi Hotel's legacy. One year later, the final project meeting occurred as the building was being demolished and the last bricks fell.
The digital story map and walking tour can be accessed online at jamo.org/storymap<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjamo.org%2Fstorymap%2F&data=05%7C01%7CKatie.HENRY%40oprd.oregon.gov%7C6150b2fb019f48436c3a08db2ca6911d%7Caa3f6932fa7c47b4a0cea598cad161cf%7C0%7C0%7C638152866533818043%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=dRjr1h9fq5be5nGHVn9g6D57KGf2ysz2GlBmBKbuldY%3D&reserved=0> or via the links below.
