Notes
This 1995 Sally Donovan photo shows the Blowers/Gatchel House being readied for a move across the street. Workers have been clearing a path to put beams under the house so it can be lifted.
In 1903 this house was built on 12th Street for Amby and Ellen Blowers. Originally located on the west side of the street, it needed to be moved to make room for a parking lot for the hospital. The move happened in 1995. You can see it below at its current location, 715 12th Street. it's been through a lot, but it still looks great. You can read the entire history in its Oregon Historic Sites Database entry.
