| In the 1890s this house was the residence of the John G. West family, the Wests were parents of Oswald West, later governor of Oregon. At the time the occupation of Mr. West was listed as "drover." In the mid 1890s the house was sold to C. M. Beak and in 1898 to Mrs. A. Klein. The Kleins continued in ownership and residency through the early 1920s; Mr. Klein's occupation is listed as "traveling salesman". Later owners were Harry and Lena Thorsen in the 1920s; in 1926 the house was purchased by Epsilon Delta Mu, a Willamette University living organization. It later reverted to private ownership again, Bertha Brians and Clifford and Agnes White in the 1930s. It is now divided into six living units. |
