Abstract
The George C. Cooley Cottage, located at 220 Blakely
Avenue in Brownsville, Oregon, survives as an excellent
example of vernacular Classical Revival architecture in
Oregon. The building is presently owned by the Brownsville
Restoration Society, a group of Brownsville residents who
joined together to purchase the house and save it from almost
certain loss. Through their volunteer efforts they hope
to rehabilitate the house, thereby assuring its survival and
continued use for many years to come.
This historic structure report is an investigation
of the Cooley Cottage, its purpose being to determine the
past history and use of the building, to examine the present
condition of the building, and to make recommendations for
the preservation and rehabilitation of the building. The
guidelines and recommendations found in this report will be
used by the Brownsville Restoration Society in helping
them make decisions concerning the rehabilitation of the
George C. Cooley Cottage.
