Zusammenfassung

The Moyer house, located at 204 Main Street in Brownsville, Oregon survives as an excellent example of Italianate architecture in Oregon, displaying interior finish work rare in the state. The building is ranked as a primary resource in the 1983 Brownsv il le Cul tura l Resource In ventory and was listed in the National Regist e r of Historic Places in 1974. Built in 1881, the house is significant for its architectural features as well as its association with the J.M. Moyer family, prominent citizens in the development of Brownsville. The building operates as a house museum and is owned by Linn County under the supervision of the Linn County Parks and Recreation Department. Several community organizations help staff and maintain the building. This report involves an in depth investigation and analysis of the Moyer house. Its purpose is to develop a restoration plan which will be used by the county and community as a guide f o r repairing and rest oring the stru c ture. The de v elopment of the restoration plan is a synthesis of research into the building's past history and use, the examination of its present condition, preservation research and professional consultations.
