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.
