Explore The Oldest
House In Clark County
C ovington House is a small, un­
pretentious log surrounded by trees
at 4201 M ain. It is C lark C o u n ty’ s
oldest house. The summer the house
w ill be open to the p u b lic every
Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. The house is operated by
the Vancouver W om en’ s C lub and
the c ity ’ s O ffic e o f Heritage Servic­
es.
C onvington House is a pioneer
log house b u ilt in 1848. In the 1920s
the house was moved from its o rig ­
inal lo cation in orchards to the
present M ain Street location. The
house was taken apart and the logs
were marked w ith A rabic numerals
to ensure proper reassembly V is i­
tors can s till detect the numerals on
the logs.
Other interesting details o f the
house include dove-tail jo in ts , a riv ­
er rock ch imney and a deeply pitched
gable roof. A n uncut stone fireplace
and rear kitchen w ing were added
when the house was moved.
The fireplace reflects the “ Rus­
tic ” style o f architecture, popular in
the 1920s.
C ovington House is named after
Richard and Anne C ovington who
came to this area as employees o f j
the H udson’ s Bay Company. Sol­
diers from Vancouver Barracks were
entertained by the C ovingtons who
owned the o n ly piano in the area.
U.S Grant was a vis ito r in the house.

are planning to attend this special
annivesary. The name o fth e A rch ­
diocese was changed by Papal de­
cree to the Archdiocese o f Portland
in Oregon on September 26, 1928.
The name reflected the change o f
location o f the A rchbishop's see
city in 1862, when it became appar­
ent that Portland w ould be the p rin ­
cipal city in the region. The A rch d i­

A July
Christmas
The annual Christmas in July
campaign for Northeast Emergency
Food Program, w ill begin on M on­
day, July I The goal is to raise food
funds and awareness concerning
hunger. They hope to gather more
than three tons o f food; providing
over 500 people with food fo r 3-5
days.
Throughout the month o f July,
various churches and organizations
have “ Christmas in July” trees set up
with paper ornaments. Each orna­
ment lists a food item that the pro­
gram needs. Com m unity members
participate by choosing an oma
ment and donating the item listed on
it. NEFP welcomes donations and
other participation in the campaign
Drew Hudson, Program Manager,
is available at 284-5470.
On July 27th NEFP w ill have a
Community W ork Party where peo­
ple from the neighborhood are en
couraged to jo in w ith their neigh­
bors to do program volunteer work.
The idea behind “ Christmas in
J u ly” is to bri ng about t he awareness
and the giving attitude that people
often associate w ith Christmastime.
Hunger, however, persists through­
out the year. For example, families,
who during the school year, rely on
assistance from school lunch pro­
grams, often need more during the
summer from NEFP and other food
programs.
