Carnegie Library (1918) in downtown Port Angeles now a county museum. #portangelesarchitecture

A grand old brick electric utility building that’s coming down soon. The massive segmental arched windows and projecting cornice with a row of modillions add a nice touch of class to the old boy. 118 years on this site! What will fill the void? #portlandgeneralelectric

The Peter Col House (1921) located in a historic residential district in San Jose, CA. Solidly Prairie School, but designed by another ´Frank’. Frank Delos Wolfe (1862-1926) built over 50 ‘California Prairie’ houses in the San Jose area. #sanjosepreservation

Erick and Johanna Lindgren Cabin (1928) one of the best preserved examples of Finnish cabin building craft. Red Cedar plank cabin built by two Finnish immigrants using only axes and other hand tools. Moved to Cullaby Lake County Park in 1970.

Timberline Lodge (1937) is perhaps the best example of the Arts and Crafts tradition in a single building. #timberlinelodgenationalhistoriclandmark
