museum. Houses of the same
found in Portland, particularly on
Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets, not far from the Portland
Library.
These days most men don’t build
mansions or livesW large
and
the same may be said for the less for
tunate men of the past. The cottage
was the common house, and very
simple the many styles are. For ?a
¿urvey of the architecture of the
I860*!?,"drive slowly down the Pacific
Highway Snrpugh what was once the
town of Canemah, just south of the
falls at;*C)rlegon City and down the
hill. There in a pocket, at stiver level,
are the homes of the men who served
on the Willamette as ship captains,
engineers, and hands, or who un
loaded and transshipped the cargoes
around the falls. There you will spot
at least -one example of the gothic
house, with its pointed window in
the front gable. Such a: house may
have come around Cape Horn, and it
serves as an excellent example of the
character of préfabrication in the
days of the Gold Rush. At least one
of Oregon’s mansions was prefabri

which now serves as the Cottage
Home for the Aged on N. Cottage
street.
IgBættages are evejUwhere to be
seen, in bewildering patterns, once
you start looking for familiar clues.
[BesidesKhe Gothic window one looks
for wide heavy boards outlining gable
and roof, and porches» supported by
decorative carved boards, as distinct
from solid pillars. Salt box types are
common, originating from New Eng-
land^pfBhe Virginia-North Carolina
coast. A development of the salt box
are .the hbus^s^found up and down
our roads with a break between porch
and roof, a single gable in the center
B the front roof, and a central chim
ney cutting
little off cen
ter. Box types with
are
also common, and tney are the an
cestors of m a n y t h e contractors’
homes now dotting our real’ estate
