Chitwood, Ore., and the old Pepin store. Taken in the late 1950s. Gonna guess it’s long gone. #oregonhistory #ghosttowns

Always loved this 60s postcard of downtown Portland. “The City of Roses is one of the most interesting cities in the nation—also one of the fastest growing, with its immediate bordering communities developing rapidly.” #portlandhistory

Ghost towns. New Era in Clackamas County. Snuggled just past Oregon City and near Canby. Not a lot of photos exist. These are from an obscure ghost town book from the mid 60s so these structures are long gone. Still standing though is the New Era Church, a Christian Spiritualist church, and the oldest Spiritualist church in the US established in 1873. ⁣ ⁣ #ghosttowns #clackamas #clackamashistory #oregonhistorycomics

The First Congregational Church of Oregon City (built in 1925) is a real stunner. Now the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Willamette Falls. When we can again, hop on the elevator and walk around this neighborhood. Across the street is the Oregon City Carnegie Library (1913) and many older homes still standing. #downtownoregoncity #oregoncity #clackamas #churchesofinstagram

Favorite kind of photo: main streets and the night. Here’s Oregon City. #oregonhistory #clackamashistory #clackamas #downtownoregoncity

Another house gem in the neighborhood from my daily “stay sane” walks. Cool stone house (hidden in the trees). How do people who take pics of houses for Insta a.) Not look like a creeper or b.) Not get reported on Nextdoor by Mrs. Kravitz? Feels a little weird. ⁣ ⁣ #archi_ologie #historichomes #oldhomelove #portlandhistory #oregonhistory #oakgroveor #oakgroveoregon
