Built in 1891, the Wolf building at 201 East Main in Silverton, Oregon. Commissioned by Austrian immigrant Adolf Wolf to house a hardware store, then sold to the Ames family in 1899 where it stayed for 2 generations.

The façade is a pressed metal and cast iron building front manufactured by the Mesker Brothers in St. Louis, MO.

Seen here as a massive multimillion dollar renovation was being completed. It is also considered to be haunted.

A nice craftsman style home in Silverton, Oregon. My family lived in it from 1968 to 1969. There is actually 4 bedrooms, two downstairs and two upstairs. There was a two burner wood stove in the kitchen, mom called it a trash burner, and we did burn stuff in it, cereal boxes and other paper/cardboard household trash.

It was built in 1927.

It is set on a double lot, the second, vacant lot is to the left. The large cherry tree had tons of cherries every year. I would climb up into it every day and eat cherries until I could eat no more. There were other fruit trees too, and I always ate my fill.

The two car garage is actually quite roomy. It has a large upstairs, there was a walk in cooler in the back corner, built entirely of wood and insulated. It has shelves and my mom used it to keep all the stuff she canned. The walls were thick and even in the hottest days of summer it would barely be 55 degrees or so. Along the left wall an addition had been built, and there was a workbench built in from the front to the back.

More Silverton, Oregon.

Norwegian immigrant Julius Alm constructed this building in Silverton, Oregon in 1908 to accomodate his growing grocery business.

Architecture From Above

The brown house at the lower center of the frame, just ahead of the wing, is where I lived back in the early 1980's, on the Tulalip Indian reservation.

Shot from my mom's Grumman AA1a Yankee, on Kodachrome, with a Ricoh XR2S, with a Pentax M40-80mm zoom lens.


Copied with a Pentax K5IIs, and A50mm f1.7 lens with a Pentax Auto Bellows M and Slide Copier For Auto Bellows M.
