"Historic Homes of Clackamas County"
In 1947, the Susanna Lee Barlow Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution of Clackamas County published a booklet containing photos of major historic houses once-built or still-standing in Clackamas County. The group's goal was to preserve the memory of these homes and to record important historical information concerning them and their owners. The historical information presented in this booklet remains mostly accurate and needs little updating. Enjoy the great photos! Because of the file size of this document, it has been divided into 4 .pdf's. Click on each part to download the entire document. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 |
