We took a walking/driving tour of many North Grants Pass historic homes.
Our first stop was the Fetzner House, it is of both Victorian and Queen Anne style. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and was built in 1894. It is located at 314 NE Fetzner.
Next, we stopped to look at the Newman Methodist Church. This Victorian-Gothic style church was originally built in 1887 (completed in 1890) and restored in 1980. The steeple was restored in 2007 after being hit by lightning. It is the oldest remaining church in Grants Pass. It's located on the corner of Sixth and "B" Streets.
The third stop was the George Calhoun House, located at 612 NW Fifth Street. This home was built in 1910 by an early merchant; it is on the National Register of Historic Places and is called a Bungalow-style home.
We continued on to the Voorhies House (NR), located at 421 NW "B" Street. It is a Colonial style built in 1929. Amos Voohries, developer of our local newspaper "The Daily Courier" once lived here.
Next was a shingle-style house known as the Michael Clemens House (NR). It is located on the corner of Third and "A" streets and was built in 1905. The original gardens still exist and are frequently photographed.
The sixth house on our Tour Of Grants Pass Historic Homes was the L.B. Hall House. It was built in 1907 in the Colonial Revival style, and is located at 751 NW Fourth Street. It was built by the first mortician in Grants Pass and was also the funeral parlor.
Just across the street from the L.B. Hall House is the Sutton House. It was originally Queen Anne style, but a tower was removed and a formal facade was added, giving it a hint of Colonial Revival style. It was built in 1905 and you can find it at 750 NW Fourth Street.
Located at 724 NW Fourth Street is the Victorian-style McLean House (NR). It was built by the first Presbyterian Minister in Grants Pass in 1898. From 1913 to 1921 it was used as a hospital.
A couple of doors down we found the Cramer House on our Tour Of Grants Pass Historic Homes. It was built around 1898 by a hardware store owner. It is an Eastlake-style home, and can be found at 716 NW Fourth Street.
This is another shot of the Cramer House, it has a fabulous front yard!
This is a photo of the R.L. Coe House (NR), it was built around 1905 and can be found at 1002 NW Washington.
Next was the Dayton-Dixon House. It is a combination of Colonial Revival and Stick styles, and was built in 1903. It was originally built on Sixth Street, but was moved to its' current location on Conklin near Fifth street in 1980.
The Ahlf House (NR) is the largest home on our tour, at 4,882 square feet on almost a half an acre. It is built in the Queen Anne style and is located at 762 NW Sixth Street.
A few doors down from the Ahlf House at 746 NW Sixth Street is the Wilson House. It is a Colonial Revival style house built in 1908. It is currently available for lease.
The second to last house on our Tour Of Grants Pass Historic Homes is the Flanagan House (NR). It was built in 1905 at 720 NW Sixth Street in a combination of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles. It's named after William H. Flanagan, the first registered doctor to come to Grants Pass. It just became vacant, and it will be interesting to see what becomes of it.
The last place on our Tour Of Grants Pass Historic Homesis St. Luke's Episcopal Church; it's one of the oldest surviving churches in town and can be found at 224 NW "D" Street. It was built in 1894 in the Eastlake and Stick style of architecture.
This Colonial Revival style of house wasn't on our Tour Of Grants Pass Historic Homes, but we thought it was definitely worth a look at too. It is across the street from the Michael Clemens house on the corner of Third and "A" Streets.
