O'Neill+-+Mixer+House

The O'Neill/Mixer House, c.Pre-1900 1839 Ash Street //Forest Grove Inventory of Cultural Resources// (1985)

"__ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION__ The dominant theme of design for this two-story house is Gothic Revival. In plan the house is rectangular, with a high gable roof. Projecting from each side of the gable roof is a high-pitched gable dormer. A short mansard roof extends over the front (west) side of the house covering a partially enclosed porch. The enclosed portion has eave brackets atop narrow pilasters dividing three, one-over-one, double-hung windows. There is also a one-over-one, double-hung window on each side of the enclosed portion of the porch. The open end of the porch is supported by two turned wood columns. All gables have boxed eaves with plain board fascia. The siding is horizontal channel-drop. All windows are one-over-one, double-hung with decorated lintels.

__CONTEXTUAL DESCRIPTION__ This house is located on a corner lot at the intersection of 19th Avenue and Ash Street. 19th Avenue is one of the major arterials in town and this lot is in a commercial zone. Many of the remaining residential properties in this area will likely be replaced by commercial uses or converted to commercial uses in the future

__HISTORIC AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE__ This is one of the few houses in Forest Grove with strong Gothic elements. Little is known of its history."
