Excerpt: Drake Park Neighborhood Historic District -The Drake Park Neighborhood Historic District is located in Bend, Oregon. It includes 17 city blocks with 83 individual residential lots. The streets that constitute the boundaries of the district are Riverside Boulevard on the north and west next to Drake Park; Tumalo Avenue on the south; Broadway Street on the southeast; and Franklin Avenue on the northeast corner. The district is 3,623 feet (1,104 m) above sea level. The area is relatively flat, sloping gently to the west towards the Deschutes River which runs through Drake Park. Large Ponderosa Pine trees are scattered throughout the district. Many retaining walls and other landscape elements in the neighborhood are made of local basalt fieldstone. In 1910, Alexander M. Drake, owner of the Pilot Butte Development Company, subdivided the land that is now Drake Park Neighborhood Historic District into residential lots. The area was laid out south of a curving boulevard that followed the Deschutes River. Lots in the subdivision originally sold for $100 to $250. In 1921, 11 acres (45,000 m) along the river, adjacent to the subdivision, were sold to the city of Bend to create Drake Park. That same year, State Street was the third street in Bend to be paved. The spacious lots were considered highly desirable because they were close to Drake Park, which runs along the east side of ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=18686980 ... Read more

Excerpt:Temple Beth Israel Beth Israel is a Reform congregation and Jewish synagogue in Portland, Oregon , United States. The congregation was founded in 1858, while Oregon was still a territory , and built its first synagogue in 1859. Architecture The congregation's first building was a modest, single story, pitched-roof, wood-framed, clapboard building with Gothic, pointed-arch windows and door. This early structure was replaced by an 1888 synagogue building, which was destroyed by fire in December 1923. The building, called Moorish revival in some sources, is elsewhere described as a combination of eclectic and Gothic revival styles, with two towers topped by bulbous domes. It was replaced in 1928 by a notable Neo-Byzantine synagogue building that continues to serve the congregation. It was listed as Temple Beth Israel on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is considered one of the finest examples of Byzantine-style architecture on the west coast , and was inspired by the Alte Synagoge (Steelerstrasse Synagogue) in Essen , Germany.

The garden is owned by the non-profit Oregon Garden Foundation, with the facility open every day. Additionally, it hosts community events and four to eight annual concerts while providing educational outreach programs and award-winning environmental impacts. The "Northwest Garden" within the Oregon GardenA public showcase garden had been conceived since at least the 1940s. Work towards the realization of the concept began in earnest around 1990, with land dedicated in 1995. A partnership between the Oregon Association of Nurserymen and the city of Silverton created the garden, with other support coming from the Oregon Forest Resources Institute, the Oregon Youth Conservation Corps, The American Conifer Society, and the Oregon timber industry. In April 1996, a master plan was created for the garden which includes ultimately developing all 240 acres (0.97 km) of the site. The groundbreaking ceremony occurred June 27, 1997 and featured high-ranking Oregon politicians. The garden opened to the public during a dedication on April 17, 1999. Attendance at the garden totaled 250,000 visitors the first year. Subsequent ceremonies dedicated additional features such as Gordon House on March 2, 2002, and the Rediscovery Forest and Natural Resources Center on June 7, 2002.

Excerpt: Redmond, Oregon -Oregon had been a State for 45 years by the time Frank and Josephine Redmond pitched their first homestead tent near the area that would later take on their name in 1905. With these agricultural roots, the city was platted by an irrigation company building a major canal project. In 1911, a year after the town was incorporated; electrification reached Redmond as well as the Oregon Trunk Line Railroad, which opened new markets for farmers and merchants in the area. By 1930 the town grew to 1,000 people, and ten years later population had nearly doubled. During the 1940s Redmond was selected as a U.S. Army Air Base and commercial air service was established at Roberts Field after World War II. The following three decades (1950s, 60s, 70s) and most of the 80s the town's population remained relatively static, growing slowly around a small commercial/retail center and manufacturing industry. However, during the 1990s the town's population began to grow along with most of Deschutes County. Between 2000 and 2006, Redmond's population grew by 74.3% making it among Oregon's fastest growing incorporated cities each year. This rapid growth has continued through 2006, 11.3% this past year, increasing the population to 23,500. Its growth is fueled by employment, comparatively lower cost of living, and great quality of life. Redmonds elevation is 3,077 feet (938 m). Redmond is located 15 miles north of Bend on U.S. Highway 97, and 2 miles south...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=130733 ... Read more
