This hilltop bungalow was probably in the midst of an orchard of many acres when it was built in 1903. In 1929 the house belonged to R. Chapman and in 1951 was the home of Robert D. Taylor and his wife Hope. He was president of the Salem Brake and Wheel Alignment Company. By 1976, he had retired and this was the last year his name appeared at this address.

Jewett, 1020 16th Street NE, (LL)
This Queen Anne residence was probably built by Vincent Cole. In 1911 it was purchased by George and Hattie Jewett who lived there for forty years with several other adults of their family. After the mid-forties, the property was subsequently sold to Thomas and Frances Moisan, Mrs. Stella Ashton and Arnold and Mary Unger. It stands in a mature landscape with other houses of similar age.

Gatke Hall, WU, 900 State Street (LL)
Originally built as the Salem Post Office in 1903, this building was located behind the Marion County Courthouse on Church Street. It was moved to its present location by means of rollers moving slowly along State Street, a process taking six months in 1938. Its name honors Robert M. Gatke a Willamette University professor of Law. It served as the College of Law until the completion of the Collins Legal Center in 1967.
