Stevenson, 1985 Park Avenue NE, (D)

Built for the Henry Stevenson family in 1935, this one acre property and house was owned by Bud Stevenson, the second generation, until 2005. Recently remodeled, the house has retained its interior woodwork and room configuration. From the street, the house appears as it did 70 years ago when it joined the older houses on this suburban block.

Buren/Belton, 1125 Summer Street NE, (D)

This was the home of Wolcott Buren, a prominent Salem physician, from 1935 to 1956. By 1961 Howard Belton, the Treasurer of the State of Oregon, lived here and remained for the next 20 years. It became a rental property until the present owners bought the house, livable but very worn out and overgrown. An advantage of its neglect is the fact that the house has retained its elegant, original style with few alterations.

Tonning, 3281 Croisan Creek Road S, (LL)

This residence, modeled on an architect’s “dream home” that had won a blue ribbon in the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, was begun in 1935, but completed by new owners, Nels and Olga Tonning. Among the guests in their more than thirty years of hospitality were John Croisan and his wife who had lived in the old homestead on the back of the property. When their home burned down, they lived upstairs while they were building another home next door.
