706 Main Street - Stratton Building - Oregon City

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This building was constructed in c.1902 by E.D, aids for Helen Stratton, the widow of former Oregon City mayor, M.A. Stratton. The first tenants were Richard Petzold and Hermann Bethke, who operated the Oregon City Butchering and Packing Company in the south half of the ground floor until moving further north on Main Street. On the 1911 Sanborn maps, a pool hall occupied the north half of the ground floor, perhaps the F.D. Cox Billiards and Pool Hall, which is listed at 708 Main in the 1916 city directory. The original building has had it's facade remodeled several times. #Clackamas_County #historic_preservation #Main_Street_program #Oregon_City
